    I'm a car guy, but I never drool over new cars in a showroom. LLV is a different story, however. Reventon, F40, F40, Keonigsegg blah blah blah, cars that I will probably never have the chance to see. Anyways, I'm visiting Vegas for 6 freaking days (going for the UFC and figured I might as well stick around for New Years). I guarantee that by day 3, I will have lost all my money, and bored out of my mind, so I want to pay a visit to the dealership and see if I can take a peak at these vehicles. Just wondering if it's worth the effort? Will these vehicles be on display in the showroom, or are they usually tucked away in a garage or something? Will it be okay if I just walk in and take a closer look? I wouldn't be taking any pictures, or touching them or anything like that. I grew up adoring the F40 and I want more than anything to see one live in the flesh.

    Anyways, what do you guys think? I dunno where else to post this, so I figured the Lambo forum would make sense...

    Thanks and happy holidays!

    Its very simple,

    You walk in the door, pay $10 to enter and you get the keys to the kingdom. I was there in October. The Revention was there, the F50 (which I now believe is at PWFM), Koenegsigg, etc.

    The cars are normally in the dealership and a polite respectful approach is all you need. I'm sure if you call ahead, speak to a salesperson and tell him your situation, they will be more than happy to show you around the cars. Truse me they are not busy these days. Show up dressed neat and you will be taken seriously even if you are not a buyer. Dropping by a dealership and acting like a tourist is the sure fire way to be treated as one. Good luck.

    Go in before hitting tables or reels. Always a good sign to swagger, rather than stagger in.

    Then, find a no-limit roulette wheel, put $1000 on #23, win $35000, let the whole pile ride on #23 again, win an additional $1,260,000 and swagger right back in!

    A buddy of mine and I went touring Dallas exotic dealerships a few weeks ago and nobody cared. We're broke college kids and all we did was dress nice and not touch anything and they didn't hassle us or anything.

    I do recall going to Ferrari of Vegas in the Wynn hotel and paying 10 dollars to see all of the cars that they had for sale. Very cool experience.

    Thanks for the replies! I didn't think I'd get any replies until morning.. it is Friday night after all.

    I guess I'll just walk in as my normal self and see how it goes. I don't mind paying $10 as long as it means being able to see the F40. To be honest, I don't even care about anything else. This car has evaded me for 23 years (heck, I've spotted a McLaren F1 and STILL no F40) and I need some closure!

    And after witnessing my friend lose his entire life savings playing roulette (we were 16, and his life savings was $1,000 haha), I vowed never to play it. I'm not much of a gambler, but I do play poker (and blackjack, so I guess I do gamble).

    Thanks again, can always depend on you guys!

    Lambo Of Las Vegas has two locations. One is at the Pallazo Hotel/Casino, and the other is out by I-15 on Dean Martin Drive. There were pics here recently that put the Koenigsegg at the Pallazo...

    The first time I visited an exotic dealer, Lamborghini Carolinas that is, I wasn't sure what kind of reception I'd get, but their website is very friendly and extends an open invitation to drop in, so I did when I was in the area a couple months ago. Sure enough, they seemed glad to see me even though I announced "I'm just being a tourist, need a little motivation to work hard at my business," which is the exact truth. It was a sunny Saturday and a few other tourists were there too, and the staff treated them like good friends. I just wandered around for awhile and admired the cars. Who thought I'd ever get to personally see TWO brand new Murci Roadsters, stickers and everything? Great way to spend a half hour or so. They were so nice, I even came back last week for another visit and remembered to take pictures, and they said I was welcome anytime.

    It didn't hurt that I wasn't too badly dressed, had an interesting car myself (amazing what they'll believe when you fill out credit apps these days), and did not touch or sit in the cars, which is what all the nice little signs ask you to not do anyway. Showing some respect goes a long way.

    It's already been said quite a few times, but if you're interesting in buying...call ahead and make an appointment. If you just want to take pictures, you'll pay the $10 admission and they will let you take as many pictures as you want at Lambo Las Vegas (Reventon, CCX, Veyron, F50, etc). Every single person there was extremely nice and helpful. Heck, you even get a free lanyard with your admission.

    If you go to Wynn Ferrari, you are not allowed to take pictures and 14 out of the 15 cars there are F430s. They did have an SLR Roadster and a Carrera GT downstairs when I was there September. No one here would even acknowledge my existence, however, Wynn Ferrari has a very large, nice gift shop where you can drop some of your slots winnings.

    Koenigsegg, REventon and F40 are at their Satellite dealership at the Palazzo FYI. Everyone that works there is very nice. Stop by the bar and have a drink too! Food is also great.

    I decided to do a little experiment when I was down in Miami. I went to Lamborghini Miami in a Weezer t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. I tried to look as bored as possible, like I would rather be anywhere else than around this boring little cars. This worked very well and I got to sit in a Lotus, Porsche, Maserati, and Murci while the saleslady treated me like I could buy a car there (I am 17 years old).

    Come visit Motor Cars of Georgia, Atlanta's premier Lambo dealer. I went there with my 8 yr old son a few weeks ago and we had the run of the place. They let us look at all the cars and never once hassled us or asked for money. That being said ,my boy is very well behaved and has respect for things that are not ours. We were in jeans and tee-shirts on a casual Saturday afternoon.

    If I could afford a Lambo (or the badd azzz 599 they had ), I would buy from them because of the way we we're treated. From there we went to Ferrari of Atlanta and were treated nice as well.

    If I was buying? either the Murcie roadster in Verde Ithica or the Gallardo SL in Aranco Borealis .
