Don't let that image fool you. During the day, the Imperial Palace is almost completely hidden from view, it's entrance resembling a shaded taxi stand more than a casino valet drop-off. It's also one of the oldest-looking (but not the oldest) casinos on the main drag, and it has probably never seen "better days". However, it has one redeeming feature: the car showroom. But even that is tucked away in the rear corner of the building, requiring a 10-minute walk to a separate elevator, and then a $7 entrance fee. Once inside the poorly lit 6th floor garage, you are presented with what is probably the most expensive and diverse car showroom in the world. It houses around 100 cars, ranging from celebrity-owned VW's to one-of-a-kind Rolls Royce's, every one for sale. Well, almost every one; some are part of the private collection, but may end up for sale at a later date.
Below is part one of many (I don't know how many yet) sections of cars, ~140 images in all. They are listed in the order I shot them, not the order I observed them, and not all cars in the showroom were photographed. This is because some of them really weren't that special (or replicas, like the Charger R/T Hemi clone). I feel that I shouldn't offer my opinion on each one as I usually do because I would probably never finish this. Instead, I am listing each one with a sub-title, and image of the car, and an image of the For Sale description sign. Not being able to get too close to the cars prevented multiple angles on most, and the hoods were up on many. But enjoy them as they are, and I'll continue to add to this thread as the week goes on.
