Car enthusiasts will have a field day at the Auto Collections at the Imperial Palace Hotel.

The Imperial Palace is on the east side of the strip, between the Flamingo Hotel and Harrah's. The Auto Collections is on the fifth floor of the hotel's parking garage in a 125,000 square foot showroom where over 250 vehicles can be found on the floor at any time.

Even if you aren't a car fanatic, your motor will definitely be purring after seeing what is available. The graceful lines, the craftsmanship, the overall beauty of these carsnot to mention the price tagsgrab your attention immediately.

It must be noted that The Auto Collections at Imperial Palace is much more than a car museum. This is an actual showroomthe cars are available for purchase or trade. Imagine coming to Las Vegas for a weekend of sun and fun, and driving home in a Porsche 924 Carrera GTR Race Car!

The great thing about this museum is that the exhibit constantly changes. So, one day you might find a Duesenberg J Holbrook Sedan rubbing shoulders with a Ford Thunderbird Convertible, and the next time see a Jaguar E-type Roadster lined up by a Pontiac GTO. Plus you will see Rolls-Royce Phantoms, Shelby Mustangs, Packards, Masteratis-the list goes on and on and on. You really need to visit the showroom in order to get the full impact.

Commercial vehicles of bygone days make up the collection from time to time. They include antique buses, military transports, taxisincluding the 1908 French model that appeared in the movie version of My Fair Lady, fire engines, gasoline trucks, delivery trucks and vans, dump trucks, and pickup trucks.

A little star struck? Then check out the 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Special 60 driven by Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits; Al Capone's 1930 V-16 Cadillac; a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet currently owned by Wayne Newton; the 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback driven by Nicolas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds; Howard Hughes's 1954 Chrysler (because of his phobia about germs, Hughes installed a special air-purification system that cost more than the car itself and took up most of the trunk!); and a 1933 Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow, one of only three still in existence today.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!

Another must-see for car enthusiasts is the Carroll Shelby Museum, located at the entrance of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
