Ever since the Wynn Resorts company took over the established concours in Las Vegas, it has further moved the event up a notch each time. Now in its fourth year, the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas feels fully stablised among the car-collecting elite, the trade, the visitors and a new generation of show-goers.
The 2025 event boasted more than $1.1bn of cars on display, achieved a record attendance of nearly 7000 visitors and featured public debuts from McLaren, Lanzante, Rolls-Royce and Pagani. In addition, the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas’ new single-day auction by Broad Arrow achieved a sales total of over $13.7m with 82 percent of all lots sold, every offering priced over $500k finding new ownership and a record-breaking $2.2M Bugatti Veyron sale. More about that here.
How has this been achieved? Part of the success of Concours at Wynn Las Vegas 2025 was from bringing in high-quality judging, which the more established US car collectors liked and appreciated. But it’s also about the location at the 18-hole championship course of Wynn Golf Club and the organisers’ huge ambition in bringing in the very best cars of all ages.
“Concours at Wynn Las Vegas continues to redefine what’s possible for a modern concours,” said Brian Gullbrants, chief operating officer – Wynn Resorts North America. “This year’s event united collectors, visionaries and the world’s most extraordinary automobiles in an absolutely gorgeous setting that captured both the excitement of Las Vegas and the hospitality excellence Wynn is known for.”
Additional highlights from Concours at Wynn Las Vegas 2025 included the largest display of Bugatti Veyrons in history – 46 in total – to mark the model’s 20th anniversary. In addition, more than 40 Paganis were on show, the most ever in North America. The concours also featured one of the largest-ever gatherings of Lamborghinis, with 230 cars across much of the brand’s history, including one of 13 Veneno hypercars and an early 2R tractor.
Additional OEMs and builders present at Concours at Wynn Las Vegas 2025 included Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Automobili Pininfarina, Bentley, Cirrus Aircraft, Czinger, Cinema Vehicle Services, Gunther Werks, Hennessey, Karma Automotive, Ringbrothers, Singer, Meyers Manx and Nilu.
This year’s Concours at Wynn Las Vegas event also saw the world debut of the Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster presented by Horacio Pagani, the first public debut of the McLaren Project: Endurance 24 Hours of Le Mans customer car, and one of only 30 Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear models on display – accompanied by Christian and Halldora von Koenigsegg.
The event also featured the world debut of the Lanzante 95-59 and the North American debut of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Centenary Private Collection, celebrating 100 years of the Phantom.
Sung Kang, of Fast and the Furious fame, also debuted his latest project, ’78’, a 1973 Datsun 240Z built by Japanese tuning shop VeilSide. The car produces 400 naturally aspirated horsepower from its one-of-a-kind LZ6 twin-cam inline-six. Kang displayed his VeilSide Z alongside his iconic 1972 Datsun 240Z ‘FuguZ’ build on the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas lawn.
The 2025 event also launched the modernised 100-point (M100) judging system in North America from an esteemed panel of judges. Two vehicles from the judged Concours d’Elegance category were awarded Best of Show in Pre-War and Post-War categories – the 1929 Mercedes-Benz 680 S Barker Tourer 26/120/180 of Bruce McCaw and the 1951 Ferrari 212 Export of Brian and Kimberly Ross, respectively – alongside multiple honorees and a range of additional class winners recognised for excellence in design, craftsmanship and historical significance.
“Concours at Wynn Las Vegas has quickly become a benchmark for modern concours events. The mix of spectacular vehicles and unbeaten hospitality makes it a must-visit event for every car enthusiast,” said co-chief judge Chris Kramer. “To say that I am proud to be a small part of it is an understatement. The judging process becomes increasingly harder year to year, and I cannot wait to see what vehicles come out in 2026.”
