I found out about this place by fluke. I'm more of a 'Vette girlie, but my grandpa had a Shelby back when I was a wee thing. You can walk around the showroom for free. Or pay money for a guid s tour. We did the free walk around. The factory stops production at 2:30 PM, so if you arrive after that, you cannot see the factory in production. They have a pretty big gift shop as well. read more

I went to the Shelby American Heritage Center because of my friend Jason L on TURO. He's been in the car space here in Las Vegas for years and owns a Shelby himself, so I was curious to understand what makes these cars such a big deal. This place does a great job of explaining that. You're not just looking at cars, you're stepping into a legacy tied to Ford Motor Company and one of the most important moments in racing history when they went up against Ferrari and won. That history is what separates a Shelby from a standard Mustang. If you're coming from something like Formula One, this is a completely different kind of performance. It's less about precision and more about raw power, sound, and presence. You feel the attitude behind the cars just walking through the space. Having a connection to someone who loves these cars with his heart and soul really does make all the difference. It gives the entire experience a deeper level of meaning and context that you just wouldn't get otherwise. Overall, it was a fun and educational visit and definitely worth checking out if you have any interest in performance cars or racing history. read more

While we were in Las Vegas for the Stanley cup finals game 3, I decided to take my wife to the Shelby America museum. We went on the first tour on Sunday to beat the rush back to LA. We had a great time learning about the history and asking questions of our guide. The new vehicles being built was very cool to see in person, and much quieter on the weekends. If you're a car person, this is a must see. read more

If you're into cars, this place is a must-see! They have an amazing collection of Shelby Mustangs, AC Cobras, and racing legends. One of the coolest parts was seeing the Aston Martin that Carroll Shelby drove in Le Mans, and the very first Ford GT race-winning car -- both are on display. The history behind these cars is incredible. The showroom is clean, well-organized, and full of iconic vehicles. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the tour is free. The gift shop is also great for Shelby fans. Perfect quick stop for any car lover visiting Las Vegas! read more

Shelby's heritage center is a disappointing experience for an apparently flagship location. Walking around for free is ok, but hardly worth the time. The collection is relatively small and entirely lacking description plaques for the car that would give more context for the cars on display, as is common practice for car museums. This makes the overpriced $60/person guided tour almost necessary to understand the Shelby history and car collection. The free access to the collection is acceptable, but overall the experience is a bit nickel-and-dimey with paid fake photos with Carroll Shelby, an overpriced tour, and almost half the space dedicated to the gear shop. read more

If you're a Shelby fan, this is your place! We stopped in to see the different models and enjoy the memorabilia. The merchandise is vast too. We didn't know they have tours of the factory on the top of every hour. You must pre book the tour. If we're in Vegas again, we'll be sure to check out the tour! Over all, it was a great experience! read more

Shelby Heritage Center - Museums Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We have been coming to this shop/museum for hella years. Our whole family enjoys it. They have ample, safe, free parking, nice restrooms and friendly staff. We always buy a hat or t shirt, cup etc. we have luggage etc that we've purchased and a cooler bag that all has held up wonderfully. We have two tumblers that my son and his dad use daily and love. Only one pair of pants fell apart right away, everything else has been holding up great. They have a big window to watch them like...Fix cars lol? I'm not sure what they do back there, it looks like a garage to me, like a mechanics garage- but honestly, the boys in our family go to watch at that big window, while us girls shop lol. Also, we all like looking at the showroom floor, which is huge, and they always seem to switch out the cars. Classics and newer models. Highly recommend this place as a fun spot to stop by. Free and fun! read more

I have wanted to visit the Shelby USA Museum for several years, ever since I watched the Ford v. Ferrari movie in 2019. During my last few trips to Las Vegas, I kept thinking about going, but I always assumed it was too far from the Strip. This past November, while staying at the MGM Grand Hotel, I finally decided it was time to make the trip. I was still a little unsure about the distance, but after a quick ten minute ride, I was surprised at how close the museum actually was. I should have visited long ago, but I was excited to finally be there. The first thing that impressed me was how well the entire facility is arranged. The museum and store are located at the front of the building near the main entrance, and the working shop sits behind them where the production and mechanical work take place. We checked the tour schedule before arriving, so we knew to show up a little before noon. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly and signed up for the tour. The price of one hundred eighteen dollars for two people seemed a little high at first, but it includes some great merchandise, such as your choice of a baseball cap or t‑shirt worth up to thirty dollars. While we waited for the tour to begin, we explored the museum and took plenty of photos. When the tour started, we learned the story of Carroll Shelby and the history behind every car on display. Without the tour, you would never understand the meaning and background of each vehicle, and that extra context made the experience much more memorable. After going through the main museum floor, which features many incredible cars, we headed into the shop and saw some amazing vehicles being serviced. We learned about the Shelby philosophy and how the operation works. It felt like an extra bonus after the main tour. We spent about two hours at the museum and left feeling like we had learned a great deal about Carroll Shelby, an American legend, and the priceless cars that carry his name. The hardest part of the entire visit was choosing the included cap or t‑shirt because every design looked fantastic. Shelby USA was an outstanding experience and a refreshing break from the Strip. We are already looking forward to visiting again the next time we are in Las Vegas. read more

When I saw this was in town I had to stop by, and it's close to the airport (actually very handy from the car rental center) so it was my first stop in Vegas. Big parking lot, friendly staff, free (but you will be tempted by the gift shop.) You can see into the factory/mod center, very cool. The museum has some amazing cars. Sadly, not a lot of info on any of them. IDs, but no real plaques with history, etc. Still, fun to walk around and gawk. You can pay for a guided tour and I bet they explain a lot more, but I didn't want to spend the time or money. Highly worth a stop if you are at all interested in cars. Or just like looking at cool stuff. read more

If you are a fan of racing or classic cars, a stop at Shelby is worth your time. I loved walking through and seeing the cars that were on display and waltzing through the shop. I didn't know you could do a tour, I'll save that for next time. Was worth an hour just to see the cars. read more

Not a car fanatic, but watched "Ford vs Ferrari" and ended up immensely enjoying the film. When the chance came to see these beautiful cars up close and personal, we had to do it. Shelby American has a Vegas location near the Strip which includes a manufacturing facility, retail store and free heritage museum. We opted to walk around ourselves instead of taking the paid tour. Lots of historical info and photos on the walls about the real Caroll Shelby and how he grew his company. Then there were the iconic cars, a wide variety from Cobras to Supersnakes. Also saw one used in the filming of the movie. We were done in about an hour. A fun experience. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Whether you're a Ford fan, Shelby, fan, Mustang fan car person, or you just want to look at a nice exhibit. This is the place I've been here a handful of time throughout the years and every time I come to Vegas, I always want to stop by. If you do own a Mustang or F150, they have parts available for purchased if you want to go faster or make it look better. They do have a big gift shop inside that ranges from small items, medium size items watches clothing collectible cars, another items. After you pass through the store, there are three big glass windows where you can see where the magic happens and the Shelby wizards are doing their magic. After that, you can see a beautiful display of Mustangs ranging from old to the new generation there are also displays that talk about the life of Mr. Shelby himself. The tour is FREE and self guided and you can take all the time you want in there. But if you want to get that special backstage feeling there is a VIP tour available as well for $59. All the staff that I've encountered throughout the times have been friendly and helpful. read more

Easy to find, park and entrance very inviting! Staff is exceptional! We had appointment for 3 pm VIP tour, but we were there early. There was no issue with moving us up to the 2 pm slot VIP tour includes a free $30 hat or Tshirt! Great selection to choose from. Docent is very knowledgeable and presents in a fun inclusive manner. Would highly recommend this for locals and visitors. read more

Shelby Heritage Center is located on Sunset and Ensworth, across from Town Square Las Vegas. They're open seven days a week. Inside the showroom is an amazing lineup of models ranging from the original to newer designs. These cars are either personally owned or company owned, they even have a few displays from customers who own a car collection. The Sebring is super cool! It's a nice 302 car with 5-speed, can be driven on the street, and looks like a track car. Shelby Series 1 is a fully manufactured car. It resembles a corvette and has full aluminum chassis, 4-wheel independent suspension, 4.0 Oldsmobile engine, ZF transaxle, made of carbon fiber, and has a convertible top. The reasoning behind Carroll Shelby's design was to build a track car that can also be driven on the street. They do incorporate some designs from the older models into the newer style such as the Mach-E, which is an electric car and has a mustang look. Other models in the showroom include Shelby GT500 KR, it's aerodynamic, street legal, has over 900 horsepower, and performs like a race car, that's a beauty! The very last car tested by Shelby was the 1000 car which has 1000 horsepower. It's exciting and really neat seeing some of the early models that came out, and the newer designs have remarkable craftmanship. They even have an onsite factory making the experience interactive and totally fun! read more

Great tour. Can see cars being built and nice museum of cars highly recommend. Free

My daughter and I are HUGH car fanatics. Every opportunity we get to see a car show or car museum you can bet your lucky star that we will be there! When I found out that we have a FREE Shelby Heritage Center (yes, I said FREE) here in Vegas, I jumped at the opportunity to go check it out. The location was easy to locate and there is plenty of parking available. Inside they have over 30 glorious Shelby's that are in mint condition. The collection includes Vintage, Racing, and current models. They also have a Shelby Store where you can buy anything from Shelby clothing to Diecast models. Definitely the place to buy Shelby gifts for your Shelby lovers. As you walk through the center, you can learn a lot about Carroll Shelby and the company he started in 1962. I was told that they are constantly moving and mixing up the vehicles on display here, so what you see today, might be something different tomorrow... This only gives me more reasons to come back again soon. Overall, if you're a Shelby Lover, Car Lover, or just looking for something FREE in Vegas to see. You should definitely check this one out, it's definitely worth the time. Highly Recommended! read more

This place was fun. I'm in Vegas with some friends who have a car this week and they took us here. I'm not a huge car person but it was still fun to see all of the Shelby cars. If you've seen the movie Ford vs. Ferrari, Matt Damon played Carroll Shelby. My fiance works for Ford and one of his friends used to, too, and they said Ford has a partnership with Shelby and they make Shelby cars out of repurposed Ford mustangs, which is pretty cool. It's free to browse the cars and they do have a tour which I believe has a cost. There's also a gift shop and there are bathrooms as well. read more

We will be back with our adult kids. read more

Just walk around and don't take the tour unless you want nonsense information.. Buy a book! Tour guide didn't know much other than what she's been told to say. Lots of great cars you can see for free. But many "new" cobras that don't really have much history and weren't built in the era they are presented. Then you go to the shop where they build new ones. Pretty boring for $59 In the photo is a R model, I had questions about it, the "nice grandma" told me it wasn't a R model. I didn't argue but it was disappointing to learn that inside a building full of books about these cars she hasn't read any. We live in a era of misinformation and there was plenty told to visitors. Most obvious is the new aluminum Daytona Coupe, it's not a real one, tell her to stop saying it's a real one.. She kept say one of 5 originals... there were 6 Daytona coupes.. 6!!! Wasted hour of my life. read more

I always wanted to visit this place, and I finally did. The admission is free. This place exhibits the history and adventure of Carroll Shelby. It boasts some car history, i.e., the venture of Shelby with Ford. There are some pretty impressive antique cars that are well kept. They also showcase current cars and trucks. It took us less than one hour to tour the place. The admission is free and I can't over stress this. This is a good place to tour friends who are visiting you. You enter and exit via the gift shop. read more

I can't comment if it's worth it. Huge gift shop I'd you're looking for something that isn't a typical Vegas souvenir. read more

This attraction came highly recommended by all my Friends in the local Mustang club. And it did not disappoint. Great collection of cars, and the walls display a timeline of the life and accomplishments of the great Carroll Shelby. And it is free to the public. When you walk in you are greeted with a warm welcome from the receptionist. She explains the museum in record time. Listen closely. There is also a very large gift shop with everything you could possibly want to add to your mustang, cobra, or GT collection. And in the back you can see different Shelby vehicles being tuned to perfection by the team. It is a huge shop with 12 lifts to do any work necessary. If I owned one of these vehicles I would certainly want it tuned by this team. read more

I have been "meaning to" get to the Shelby Heritage Center for YEARS and YEARS and somehow we just never made it... until now! Thanks COVID for making so many things closed that I'm finding time to hit up stuff on my TO DO list! But I digress... This place is AMAZING. Okay, granted it isn't huge, but as long as you have the right tour guide (I have no idea how many tour guides they have) its a really wonderful visit. I believe our tour guide was Mike. He was FANTASTIC. The tour was really fun and extremely informative. Even if you aren't a car person, the life of Carroll Shelby is pretty interesting. If you are a car person, some of the stories will give you chills. The history located in this museum is fantastic. The cars you see are beautiful and tell the story of racing. They have a fantastic store with just about any kind of souviner you can imagine with SHELBY on it! LOL We spent too much money and I rarely get sucked in by gift shops! But, this was a wonderful and memorable experience and I'm so happy I finally made it. Its free guys! Check it out while in Vegas. Check the website so you can arrive at tour time, because you need to do the tour to get the full experience. MUST DO. read more

Like someone else noted here, I am not a car person. My husband is, and he likes to share what he knows about Shelby. I got more excited about some racing history after we saw Ford vs Ferrari a couple years back. We were visiting Vegas and this popped up as something to see. FREE Huge bonus is that it was free. We actually wished it was bigger. It was a little out of the way for us as we did not have a rental and wasn't close enough to walk to , but we went by Uber from the strip. You walk in and greeted by a friendly employee. She was excited to welcome us and let us know that we were in the right place. You walk in and are in the gift shop, to your right is the museum with a good number of cars. All have a nice history and story. There was lots of information. There is a giant warehouse attached that is for car work. That part seems to go on forever, but I wish there was more space for the pretty cars in the museum. We spend just about an hour here, reading and learning about Shelby. My husband is so glad that we made the stop out so he could drool over the cars. The gift shop had some good sales going on and some fun stuff. I would recommend going. Hopefully the driving experinces will open back up when the pandemic gets more under control. read more

A free activity in Las Vegas... My friend, Niki, is quite smart! She suggested that we visit the Shelby Heritage Museum. I was wondering why, but instead, I asked if it was free. The answer was "yes", so I agreed to take a look. I really don't know anything about Shelby. I figured that they make Cobras and Mustangs from walking around the merchandise and the automobiles. There were shirts, duffle bags, caps, portable chairs, etc. for purchase. The free tours are Monday through Friday at 10:30am and 1:30pm. On Saturdays, the tour is at 10:30am. There are no tours on Sundays. Niki said that the car that was in the movie, "The Art of Racing in the Rain" was in the museum. We couldn't guess which one it was. That was a super good movie! Anyway, when you visit, enjoy the free parking and cars on display! There also were a couple of trucks, too! read more

I saw Ford v. Ferrari at Town Square and decided to head over to the Shelby Heritage Center afterwards, since it's just across the road. Considering that it's 100% free and not lined with salespeople trying to pressure you into buying a car or merchandise (the woman working the gift shop even pointed me towards the museum without asking), the Shelby Heritage Center is an awesome, nicely put together journey through the life and times of one of America's most legendary car designers. One wishes there was even more to see, but considering the Heritage Center is inside Shelby American's headquarters and they've got an entire business to run, it's not bad at all for a free Vegas attraction. It's a must-see for car lovers and/or folks fascinated by the Christian Bale/Matt Damon-starring look at Carroll and Ken Miles' big day at Le Mans, but don't expect to spend more than half an hour here. read more
