- Wendy FWestern Australia, Australia1,018 contributionsGreat Cars and shopReally great display of cars. If your a Mustang fan this is a must. Good merchandise shop and helpful staff. The cars were amazing. You can see mechanics working in the Shelby Garage through the large glass window.Visited May 2022Written 29 December 2022
- FormyjoyAdvance, North Carolina1,601 contributionsFun free tourNot too much to see here unless you do the VIP tour but the cars on display are worth dropping by this free museum if you are a car buff or a mustang or Shelby lover. You can slip by here and do this tour in less than 30 minutes. We enjoyed it very much!Visited April 2023Written 17 April 2023
- Marco V18 contributionsGreat encounter with Mr laViollette.I was at Shelby American with my spouse on September 6 2023. I met Mr. Vince laViollette vice president of Shelby American. I had the pleasure and honor to have a chat with him. He was not only generous of his Time but he gifted me with a signed poster and made me sit on his chair in his office. Thank you Mr. laViollette for your kindness. You made a long Time Shelby fan very happy. By the way, I cherish very much the diecast he gave me. Bravo to all members and employees of Shelby American. Keep up the good work.👍Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 15 September 2023

Great display of cars and merchandise! The VIP Tour was good, didn't really see a difference in that and a regular tour other than the bag of merch, but grateful nonetheless. Renee was our guide and she had passion for the history and I could tell she enjoyed her job! I would have liked a close up tour inside the factory area and engaging with the techs in there.

Sad that our tour guide didnt have any technical information. Didnt really "see" anything behind the scenes that everyone couldnt see thru the viewing window. Our vip $60 bag should have some choices to pick from; i personally dont use water bottles or wear ball caps. Bottom line-not worth the price as nothing unique yo substantiate it.

This was a great spot for car enthusiasts. I arrived just before the hour so joined in the VIP tour which was well worthwhile. We even got to speak to Vince who designs and races the cars. Great experience.

I couldn't contain my excitement. To finally be in the presence of a 1968 Shelby GT500KR was priceless. I would love to own this vehicle, but that is a dream of mine. Thank you for the experience to see it. Rest in Peace Mr. Shelby for designing such beauty.

Well,
My friends and I used a Taxi Service or Uber Ride-share service.
Those people know where everything is in Vegas and surrounding areas. They will get you there quickly and reliably.
Have Fun, it's a wonderful, Shelby Car Enthusiast Place!
What transportation is suggested to get to the Carroll Shelby Museum in Las Vegas and how much does it cost.

Taxi, Lyft or Uber. Cost depends on where you are at. South Las Vegas Strip can be $10-15.

How do i get there by public transport ? Are there only shelbys on display or even other mustangs on display ?

The SDX express, a double long bus that runs on Las Vegas Boulevard will get you there. A 24 hour pass is approximately $8. Take the bus south past Mandalay Bay to a stop near Sunset Road. You may need to get off at Town Square and walk back to Sunset. Go East on Sunset along the right side of the road. The Shelby Museum is on the right side of the bridge, along the freeway frontage road. Yes, there are many other cars on display. Pleas check their website for current operating hours.
