The Shelby Car Museum is located in close proximity to other major Las Vegas attractions, so you can organise a city tour itinerary in advance that includes the museum and other tours of the area.

An itinerary will be useful if you are planning a short stay in the city. In that case, here is a list of things to see and do in Las Vegas in 3 days.

The Shelby Car Museum is open daily, but at different times.

• Monday to Friday: open from 9.30am to 5.00pm
• Saturday: open from 8.00am to 5.00pm.
• Sunday: open from 10.00am to 4.00pm.

Tickets to the museum include guided tours, which are available every hour. Please note that visits are suspended on 24 and 25 December and between 29 December and 2 January. This should be considered if you plan to visit LasVegas for Christmas.

The exhibits in the main hall of the museum can be toured on one-hour guided tours, which are included in the general admission price.

You'll also have time to tour the museum on your own and sign the Carroll Shelby Wall Memorial, so you'll need between an hour and a half and two hours for this attraction.

If you purchase VIP tickets, which also include a private tour of the garage and the new and used car showroom, you'll have about 40 minutes more time to explore the Shelby Car Museum , so in that case you'll need about two and a half hours to see the Shelby Car Museum.

The Shelby Car Museum is open all year round and doesn't change its hours in summer or winter, so whatever time of year you visit Las Vegas you'll be able to experience this attraction.

Please note that if you plan to visit Las Vegas in December, guided tours of the museum will be suspended for Christmas and New Year's Eve on 24 and 25 December and between 29 December and 2 January.

Please note that you can also get to the museum by taking the Las Vegas hop on-hop off tour buses, getting off at the Shelby Heritage Center stop.

If you are in The Strip area you can take any of these means of transport from the Caesar Palace station or stop, which is one of the best casinos in Las Vegas.

Located in a secluded section of the Shelby headquarters building in Nevada, this museum has some of the most important cars the company has made from 1960 onwards.

The Shelby Car Museum is small but has one of the most interesting collections to visit in Las Vegas. Shelby is one of the most successful American companies and a byword for American muscle cars and at the museum you can discover a unit of the legendary Ford GT40, which was featured in the movie Ford vs. Ferrari, and was developed by Carroll Shelby.

In addition to the cars that became world famous in the 1966 Le Mans 24-hour race, you can also get up close and personal with the Shelby Cobra, the model that made the brand a benchmark in the automotive industry, and the Shelby Mustang, one of the best-selling cars in history.

If you have the chance to buy the VIP ticket, I advise you not to miss the tour of Shelby's mechanical workshops, as you will be able to get a glimpse of the craftsmanship behind one of the most important American car companies in the development of racing cars.

Don't forget to take pictures with some of the most famous car models in history and enjoy the souvenir and gift shop where you can find everything from miniatures of the vehicles to clothing and key rings in Shelby colours.

If you're only in town for a few days, you can make the most of your visit to the Shelby Car Museum by also visiting theShark Reef Aquarium and the famous sign welcoming visitors to Las Vegas, both of which are located nearby.
