In the parking garage behind the Imperial Palace Casino, Las Vegas is the Classic Auto Collection. It advertises itself as "The World's Largest Classic Car Museum" but as with most Vegas' claims that seems a bit of a tall claim. It's not so much a museum as a collection of classic cars available for sale. A small number are permanently on display but most are for sale. Entry is officially $5 but there are 'free entry' vouchers available almost everywhere.
Update 2019 - these photos were taken during a visit to Las Vegas in 2011. The prices listed below were current at that time. The museum has since been closed and all the links that used to be on the post died. I've removed them all now but left the original comments. https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/the-strip/long-running-auto-collection-on-las-vegas-strip-shutting-its-doors/

1939 Horch 930V Phaeton. Having never seen a Horch in the flesh before, this was definitely my favourite vehicle. One of three ever built and one of two surviving. This magnificent car had been displayed at the concourse at Pebble Beach in 1999 and 2009. Asking price is US$350,000 - a little outside my price range!

1946 Delahaye 135MS Selbourne Roadster.

1923 Stutz Speedway.
1954 Alfa Romeo 1900 SS Ghia. This car was originally built for George Walker, vice president of design, Ford Motor Company and features a custom body.
1959 Nash Metropolitan. The British Austin company attempted to break into the US market in the 1950s with this budget sportscar. At a time when the US economy was booming and big cars were a status symbol, the Metropolitan stood no chance. Still, quite a few were sold and today they are highly desirable collectors items.
The excellent and quirky French 1957 Panhard Dyna Z. These are quite a rare car in the US and just about everywhere else outside France.
A lovely pair of Volkswagens
1961 Volkswagen T1.
