Hollywood Cars Museum

Hollywood Cars Museum

An off-Strip warehouse where Hollywood's screen cars park beside Liberace's glitter fleet - odd, earnest, and worth the short drive.

Is the Hollywood Cars Museum Worth It? Movie Props, Mirror Tiles, and Warehouse Kitsch

The Hollywood Cars Museum fills a 30,000-square-foot warehouse inside the Hot Rod City complex on Dean Martin Drive, just west of I-15 from the mid-Strip resorts. Developer Michael Dezer stocked it with more than 100 film and TV vehicles, much of the floor built or collected by veteran movie-car fabricator Jay Ohrberg: a Back to the Future DeLorean, a Batmobile, Herbie the Love Bug, five James Bond cars including the Lotus Esprit submarine, a pack of Fast & Furious machines, and a 40-foot pink convertible limousine with a hot tub in the back.

The room to seek out is the Liberace Garage, run in partnership with the Liberace Foundation. It holds the showman's stage cars, the mirror-tiled Rolls-Royce among them, along with movie costumes and the larger artifacts of the Liberace Museum Collection. Keep expectations calibrated on the movie side: this is an industrial park, not a polished gallery, and not every car is screen-used. It's earnest, slightly dusty fun rather than a headline attraction, and that's most of the charm.

Insider tipWalk all the way to the back. The Liberace Garage doesn't announce itself, and it's the strongest room in the building, so give it as much time as the movie floor. Bring cash while you're at it, because the counter won't take a card.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Liberace Garage the same as the old Liberace Museum?

No. The original Liberace Museum on East Tropicana closed in 2010, and since 2016 the Liberace Foundation has kept part of that collection here instead. Your museum ticket covers it, and beyond the cars you'll find stage costumes and the larger artifacts from the Liberace Museum Collection.

Are the movie cars at the Hollywood Cars Museum originals?

Mixed. Jay Ohrberg's shop built vehicles for studios and promotional tours, so part of the floor is screen-used and part is the builder's own replicas or promo twins. Ask at the desk if provenance matters to you, because the placards often don't say.

Can you pay by card at the Hollywood Cars Museum?

Not at the ticket counter, which takes cash only. There's an ATM on the premises if you turn up without bills, and a multi-attraction Las Vegas city pass is the other way to prepay by card, since several of them include entry here.

How do you get to the Hollywood Cars Museum from the Strip?

Take a rideshare or drive, because no transit route is practical. It sits in an industrial strip west of I-15; watch for the Hot Rod City signage, head for suite 905, and park in the lot directly outside if you're driving.

What time does the Hollywood Cars Museum close?

Five in the afternoon, seven days a week, and it's shut on Christmas Day and July 4. The museum's homepage still carries an old banner promising 10 AM to 9 PM; its own contact page lists the 5 PM close, and that's the one to plan around.

Can you take photos inside the museum?

Yes, and it's half the appeal, because most cars sit in the open with few ropes or barriers. Skip the flash in the Liberace Garage: it blows out the mirrored and crystal-covered surfaces, and the room shoots better in its ambient light.
