I was out in Vegas last week for work and had time to finally stop by the Ferrari Store in the Wynn Casino. I'm sure there's been some discussion about it already, but it's basically got books, cups, etc. and is attached to a sales/showroom. Enjoy:

why do they have the GT in a ferrari store? Weird......cool stuff though

I dunno. I'm guessing because it's still an exotic they'll sell it...I've seen pictures of the store, with Lambos parked inside also. So, my guess is that they know it's more of a showroom versus a salesroom and that any kind of supercar will draw people...who will hopefully make their way into the casino for some gambling.

stupid dealer

Eh? No admission fee when I went. Just a short line so there's not too many people inside at one time. I hope you didn't pay another tourist or a scammer.

A few weeks after the casino first opened up, they were charging people $10 to view all the cars. That was when they had an F50 and two Enzos in there, one red, one black.

I guess they dropped that practice because traffic died down with the three super Ferraris gone, or maybe they were building too much bad will; who knows, but they were charging. You did get a cheap red Ferrari hat in return though :roll: .

That's weak...like they need more money...I guess if people were willing to pay it. That sucks though.

I can't believe I missed this while I was in Vegas in June.
Was this open then?

StanAE86 · 08-19-2005, 02:40 AM

I think so. I can't remember the grand opening date, but it was around that time that it opened...

See the thing is, its not really a store in the traditional sense. They'll prolly sell very few if any cars. The point is to use it as marketing for other stores for when people return home. Its an interesting concept, one which Im sure other manufacturers are watching to see if it nets results.

From what I hear, they're selling gobs and gobs of Ferrari merchandise and it actually was a surprise how much merchandise they're selling. I can't seem to find the opening sales figures, but I recall it was pretty phenominal. I also just read that one of those Enzos (not present during my visit) was Steve Wynn's personal car, with 27 miles on the odometer....

^Yeah, the black Enzo is his.

Ya, it cost me 10 bucks to look, but you were able to go downstairs where they had a ton of cars and look at where the cars get serviced. The black Enzo looked amazing.

StanAE86 · 08-20-2005, 01:55 AM

Ahhh...okay. This time, that wasn't an option. I dunno if they closed that part early or what. I got there just as they were closing. For $10, I'd pay to see the basement. Sounds pretty cool.

ESR_balla · 08-21-2005, 06:23 AM

Ya, the had an Enzo sitting there, F430s, F360, Porsches, Maseratis and even an Elise. At least 40+ cars just sitting there.
