Penske Ferrari dealer in Vegas....

+1 on the insurance card.

 

Well, this is a fascinating thread. For one, Tom is a buddy and I cant believe I missed him in Vegas, because Ang and I were there just two weeks ago!

Anyway, we thought the Wynn was great and Penske was as well. We stayed at Caesars and had a blast; the Wynn is pricier.

But all we did was show the FCA card, and I also had my nappy paper insurance card on the 355 Spider. They were great, asked us if we wanted to see anything, let us have the run of the place.

We are FOA fans, but I could see where Wynn may actually be less how do I put this "serious about its product"; hence, more mellow.

Tom!!

THAT'S THE POINT OF VEGAS STRIP HOTELS!!!

 

Brilliant, so we know how Americans can prove they own a Ferrari. Now how about Ferrari owners from outside of the US visiting? how do they prove they own a Ferrari?

 

If Vegas was everything it is cracked up to be, no one would ever leave!

If any of us on this forum want to visit a Ferrari dealership, we can!

Anyway, all I did to get in, without paying was: say I was an owner (actually, my wife did), and pull out my FCA card. It was not like going through customs in the BVI!

Hence, I will go back to Penske; I will not go back to the BVI.

 

They seemed nice to me. I understand the 10 bucks


She asked me what car I own. I told her my cars and dealer and she said welcome. Didn't ask me for anything else.

 

That's what Vegas is about!

Actually, you should have gone to the Cosmopolitan. It's the last hotel built in the city and it's cool, contemporary, and the wave of the future. The front desk area is fantastic.

And the pool there has the hottest chicks sunbathing I have ever seen. My dream job would be the bartender there... !

 

I felt the same way about Atlanta.

 

But the best customer service, hands down, goes to The Collection in Miami... absolutely phenomenal guys there. I'm only 20 years old and they even knew I wasn't ready for an F-Car or anything of that sort, but they still opened the doors to many Astons, Ferrari's, Porsche's, pretty much everything that was available there.
Been to FOA numerous times and none of the guys there have even approached me.

It's all about customer service. When I am ready for an exotic in the near future, then The Collection can definitely have my money.

The gentleman who was super kind to me was George Jaile and I still have his business card in my wallet still.

 

I have visited a few dealers, although not Penske. Noone has ever bothered me about wandering around the showroom and once I let any of them know I was an owner I got full tours of everything. The last one I visited was FOA and Lanikai showed me around personally. I cant say anything bad about any of them!!! I hope to come back up there and visit again in the very near future.

I went to Wynn about 5 years ago, they told me there was a $10 admission to non Ferrari or FCA members. I told the lady I had just bought my 85 308, and we were just curious to see their place. She was very polite, gave my wife and I access and their reps were also very polite. I went this past April, walked up to the lady at the entrance, she said $10 each, I asked if it was open to owners, I showed her my home made Ferrari logo key ring and she gave us admittance, no questions.

Granted, this year there was nothing exciting down stairs or in the shop.....unless you like NASCARS, and there was 2 or 3 of those.

It was probably a good thing there were no 308/328's there If there had been a better 308 or 328 on the floor than mine, I would have bought it.

 

Hmm how do you prove you are a Ferrari owner, when you are from out of country?? It's not like you have insurance papers nor the keys with you on holiday. We don't even have to have insurance papers in the car over here, because it's all digital. So those papers are tightly locked away at all times. So no insurance card either.

I was there last year, and was also disappointed. Was the only person in there, and no special cars other than 430's and 458's. But Vegas has lots of interesting Ferraris, so its really down to the day you visit. I was just unlucky. But in retrospect, it wasn't worth the 10 bucks at all. I understand it thou.. When you place a dealership in the middle of a hotel (Which seems pretty stupid, unless the plan originally was to earn money on the visitors - which I think it was) you have to control the crowds.

 

We visited about a month ago. I forgot my docs but called State Farm and had them scan and send my Ferrari insurance to me. No issues getting in for my wife, son and myself. They were very polite.

It was quite nice. There is a basement section as well that was fun.

I liked the Ferrari store - thought it had a lot of nice stuff.

"I forgot my docs but called State Farm and had them scan and send my Ferrari insurance to me"

C´est vraiment ridicule

 

What's ridicule about that?

 

Sorry - missing the point.

When I went, all I had to do was show my Ferrari owners club members card and I breezed straight in. Been back a few times, and theres always differ and interesting cars to look at.
