Wow! What a huge exhibit of cars. Vintage cars of yesteryear! These brought back memories of riding in a car with a rumble seat and I even saw an old Hudson looking almost like one that I owned when I was in college. It was an amazing sight to see so many cars in one place. Lots more that the... More

If you like cars and lots of them this is the place to go. We spent about 3 hours and probably could have spent more time, but it was closing. More

Harrah’s Automotive Collection is exhibited here and the stories that go with the cars are just wonderful. Take plenty of film, they allow it. They have a pretty good gift store. Take time to check it out. More

With a AAA card you save a dollar and entry is $8 for seniors. We went on a weekday and had a ball seeing a lot of the old old cars from the late 1800's and very early 1900's. A lot of the cars are from the original William Harrahs car collection and are wonderfully maintained. Plan for about 3... More

Wasn't too expensive. Has some neat cars and plays a short film or two about cars and their history. I loved the one about the Rumple Seats, I'm still singing that crazy song, " What ever became of the rumple seat". There was at about an hours worth of exhibits to see. I'm not into cars so someone who is... More

Amazing collection of virtually any car you've ever heard of. Cars are displayed beautifully in natural settings (recreated old gas stations, etc). A MUST for any car nut. More

This is a pretty decent auto museum -- there are definitely some really vintage automobiles here -- however unless you are a huge enthusiast its probably a little too much! More

We went here with a group while on a convention. This is a must see!!! I am not a big car enthusiast but this is the most amazing collection of cars in the world. It goes for blocks. It is put together with tons of photos and information and the autos are beyond belief. I can't imagine how this collection... More
