Wynn Concours | Las Vegas, Nevada

Back for its fourth year, the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas ran from October 31 to November 2, 2025, and from our team’s point of view, it was hands down the best one yet! This year’s program at the Wynn was structured around two major components. The first was the Concours itself, held across the fairways of the Wynn Golf Club. The second was the Broad Arrow auction, which took place inside the Wynn’s convention center and added a strong marketplace element to the weekend. Together, these two experiences created a complete and seamless automotive celebration that kept guests engaged throughout the event. 

Now established as a premier stop on the global Concours calendar, the event drew nearly 7,000 visitors and featured more than 600 cars valued at over one billion dollars. From world premieres to museum grade show level classics, the 2025 edition continued to raise the standard for what a modern Concours can be. Readers interested in a deeper look at the Broad Arrow auction can turn to the dedicated page later in this newsletter, where we cover the sale in more detail.

One of the most notable aspects of this year’s weekend was how engaged and enthusiastic the crowd felt throughout the event. The Concours attracted a wide mix of visitors, including many younger enthusiasts and first-time attendees, which added a fresh and lively element to the atmosphere. This growing diversity in the audience suggests that the Wynn has become more than a traditional Concours. It is evolving into a destination that appeals to both seasoned collectors and a new generation discovering the world of classic and high-performance automobiles. The result was a weekend that felt vibrant, energized, and reflective of the continued expansion of the collector car hobby.

This year’s Concours was also notable for how well it was executed behind the scenes. The Wynn delivered an extremely polished guest experience from start to finish. A wide and diverse assortment of concessions was available throughout the show grounds, and staff were abundant, friendly, and consistently helpful. The layout across the Wynn Golf Club was thoughtful and easy to navigate, and allowed visitors to move comfortably between classes without congestion or interference between displays. The weather cooperated nicely for most of the weekend, creating ideal conditions for viewing, photography, and walking the fairways. Parking for attendees was secure and guarded, and the Wynn provided a reliable shuttle service between the hotel and the show field. These details helped create a smooth and luxurious visitor experience that complemented the automotive displays. Tom and the rest of our team returned with strong praise, noting that the professionalism and organization of this year’s event placed it at the top of the Las Vegas shows they have attended in recent years.

The links of the Wynn became an open-air gallery of some of the world’s most prestigious marques. Pagani unveiled the Huayra Codalunga Speedster, McLaren presented its Project: Endurance customer racing program for the 2027 World Endurance Championship, and Lanzante introduced its 95-59 tribute to the 1995 Le Mans victory.

Bugatti was one of the dominant presences on the field this year with more than 70 cars on display. This included the new 1,800 horsepower Tourbillon V16 hybrid, along with the largest gathering of Veyrons ever assembled. Elsewhere on the show field, examples from Lamborghini, Koenigsegg, Hennessey, Czinger, Singer, Gunther Werks, Bentley, Karma, Alfa Romeo, Pininfarina, and Rolls-Royce were also well represented. The result was one of the most diverse and visually striking collections of modern high-performance automobiles shown in the United States this year.

This year also marked the introduction of the “M100 judging system,” a modernized 100 point inspection process that was used in the United States for the first time. The updated method added a higher level of scrutiny and consistency to the competition, which many veteran collectors appreciated.

Tom and the team from Classic Showcase team presented two of our recent Jaguar restorations:

     • A 1961 Jaguar E-Type Outside Bonnet Latch Roadster, restored to show-level.
     • A 1964 Jaguar Mark II sedan, completed this year and meticulously detailed.

The Jaguar class proved to be one of the most competitive groups of the weekend. It included two factory-built Jaguar D-Types with documented racing history. These are the types of vehicles that typically anchor major Concours events and draw international attention. Our 1961 Jaguar E-Type with outside bonnet latches not only held its own but also placed in the Class. This was a meaningful accomplishment given the historical importance of the other Jaguars it competed against.

With such a rich field on display, it was no surprise that top honors went to some truly exceptional cars. The Pre-War Best of Show winner, a 1929 Mercedes‑Benz 680 S Barker Tourer presented by Bruce McCaw, stood out for its unrivalled coachwork and provenance. Equally distinguished was the Post-War Best of Show winner, the 1951 Ferrari 212 Export of Brian and Kimberly Ross, which neatly bridged Ferrari’s early racing DNA with exquisite road-going elegance. On the exhibition side, the gathering of more than 70 Bugatti vehicles, which included a record number of Veyron became an informal fan favorite. Overall, the weekend delivered an experience that will be remembered not only for the cars themselves but for how smoothly the event ran, how welcoming the environment was, and how well the Wynn venue supported both serious competition and casual enjoyment. We look forward to building on this momentum at the 2026 edition, where we hope to display our 1950 Jaguar XK-120 Alloy Roadster that is currently under restoration!

History of the Wynn Concours:

The Las Vegas Concours d’Elegance made its debut on October 26, 2019, at the DragonRidge Country Club in MacDonald Highlands. That inaugural event was won by the Nethercutt Collection and collector Kevin Cogan. Like many other global events, the 2020 edition was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the Concours returned at a new venue - the Las Vegas Ballpark in Summerlin - before finding a permanent home at the Wynn Las Vegas starting in 2022. 

The move to the Wynn marked a significant evolution for the event. The 2022 Concours featured more than 250 vehicles, welcomed Jay Leno as Grand Marshal, and honored the 35th anniversary of the Ferrari F40. The following year, the 2023 edition aligned with the kickoff of Race Week for the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix, taking place November 11–12 with British racecar driver Justin Bell as event emcee.
