There are 2 choices - you can go in and look at the cars for free. Or, you can pay ($59, I think) to take a guided tour - this comes with a gift bag with Shelby merchandise in it. We opted for the free tour. My girls had absolutely no interest in this, but hubby, son and I really enjoyed it! Beautiful cars. Great info. Totally suggest this! If you're not into cars, there are some benches to sit on while you wait - they are inside, so out of the weather. There is a shop where you can buy Shelby merch - t-shirts were $30, so not totally outrageous. And, I'd just like to say that if any of the owners of those vehicles (some are on loan) feel generous and wanted to let me drive one of these for a little bit that would be ok with me!!

There are several Cobras and Mustangs to admire, and some Ford Raptors are being restored at the shop. In addition, it serves as a showroom for Cobra purchases.

We have gone there twice, and both times, even though I didn't attend, have been amazing. You can take as many shots as you like, and they offer some really cool merchandise.

"In love with Shelby Carroll's mustangs"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed August 13, 2024
I absolutely love mustangs of any kind. I was like a kid in a candy store. It showed the history of how Shelby Carroll started the company and how it grew. You can see mustangs from different years. You can even see into the work bay area where they do the tours. If you go make sure you can take a tour. We will be back so that we can take a tour next time.

Best gift I could have given a car guy. He still talks about it. The cars were so worth seeing and how he changed racing. Also seeing the car from the movie was interesting.

Reviewed December 09, 2023
Maybe the tour provides some incredible insights. A wonderful dozen cars. Gift shop is larger that museum space. Pimping merch more than anything. Took much more time getting to the building than spent inside. Taxi to Shelby American had been driving 4.5 years in Vegas and never heard of the place. Uber driver back, from Las Vegas had never had a pick up or drop off.

We got the Deuce (bus) up the strip to visit Shelby. If walking follow the arrow on the building along Windy Road to reach the entrance via the pedestrian friendly walkway. Once inside, just do the self guided tour and wander amongst some amazing cars and lots of info.
