Anniversary trip - This was awesome. The tour guide was informative. Great cars and history. A must for car buffs. Even my wife liked it and she judges a car by its color. Alot of history here. Even met the president and Vice president of the company.

Well Worth It for VIP Tour - If you visit the Shelby Museum in Las Vegas, it is well worth the money (and time) to take the VIP Tour. While the museum itself is well put together, and the presentation first rate, you get a much better sense of the man and the company by taking the VIP Tour. The tour is not done by some bored teenager on a summer job, but instead by a person who knew Shelby and knows the company. So spend the money and the hour and get the real story and funny anecdotes. There is also a first rate gift shop, if you want some Shelby memorabilia. Is this an outing for everybody? No - if you don't like or care about fast cars, you'll be bored. On a side note, if you haven't seen the movie "Ford vs Ferrari", I strongly recommend you watch it before coming here. A good 60-90 minute diversion from the din of Vegas.

The visit is a guided... - The visit is a guided tour of vehicle models. After we entered the factory with precise explanations of the vehicle building process. The explanations are interesting, fascinating, surprising and funny. The guide was wonderful and professional and answered every question. Thank you!

Wish there were more cars... - Wish there were more cars in the showroom. The tour guide was really knowledgeable about Mr Shelby’s history and accomplishments. Carroll was a true pioneer in automotive history. Would have enjoyed being able to tour the garage facilities but I imagine insurance requirements prohibit that. Would like to see a tour offered at the Cobra facility as well but I will visit the museum if we vacation in LV in the future

Beautiful cars, tour is OK. If you know Shelby, you probably already heard the tour. - I was very excited to go on this tour while in Vegas, I'm a Ford/Mustang/Shelby fan. The museum was very nice, beautiful cars, nice articles. I purchased the VIP tour, very informative guide but if your a Shelby fan, you probably won't learn anything new. The VIP "gifts" are not worth the price, unless you really want to sign the shop wall (you can see the same stuff through the window). The old VIP gifts where better, pint glass, hat and a coin, now its a plastic thing, and a shirt/hat of your pick. Would love to see Shelby go do what Carroll did, race. Now they are just a bolt on company. Definitely go see the museum if you're in town, just save $60 and skip the VIP.

average at best - Our guide was average at best. She had a script she was working but couldn't really answer any questions. Thought for $60 we were getting a $30 credit toward the purchase of something in the gift shop. Turns out it was only for tee shirt of hat. LOL. Give me a break.

Rear view mirror larger than windshield - Very disappointed! I absolutely love Shelby and there heritage to American motor sports. It’s so sad to say they have lost touch with reality. Carroll Shelby alway Said his favorite car is his next. There wasn’t any new models to look at. There was no experience to show or tell you what set there current products above the rest. It’s a company that looks in the rear view mirror not out the windshield. When you go there and they charge you $59.00 for VIP tour. It’s a uneducated person that has no passion for Shelby. Then to go one step in the factory that you you can see from the window. Is a waste. When the gift shop is close to the same as the museum. Says a lot. When you find out the 25% of the cars in the museum are cars for the CEO says a lot. It’s time for Shelby to go back to there heritages “Racing”. Stop being a glorified van conversion company. Make your gift shop affordable. It’s a blessing people will pay to come see you. Don’t waste it.
