We went to the Imperial Palace to see the
Auto Collection which turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
The collection is located on the fifth floor of the parking
garage. There is a counter set up at the Strip entrance that
offers vouchers for seeing the collection so you can get in
for free. You can also find coupons on the web or in various
free brochures, but I believe that you still have to visit the
above mentioned counter to get the entrance pass.
I'm not an auto enthusiast but I liked the collection. There
were over 200 classic cars on display. I remember seeing many
Ford, Mercedes, Cadillacs and Chevrolets models. They have a
room dedicated to the British invasion which includes rare
classics from Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Jaguar, Cooper, Aston Martin,
all dating from the 1930s through the 1960s. The collection has
been there a long time, but from what I understood the cars
rotate in an out. A number of the cars had a "for sale" tag.
I remember seeing a convertible car that used to belong to
Marilyn Monroe. This one was also on sale (together with her
nightgown!)
