I was in Reno last week for a conference. They had an organized evening out and dinner at the Nat'l Auto Museum (which houses the best of what had been the enormous Harrah's collection). They have ~200 cars from the late 1800s to the near past. Its heaviest in older cars (fascinating and beautifully restored and maintained); but they also have some very special stuff from the recent past, e.g. 1988 LeMans winning Jaguar, 740 hp 1975 Group 5 Porsche Twin Turbo, 750 hp McLaren CanAm winner, and many many more.

DEFINITELY worth a visit if you're ever in or around Reno/Tahoe.

Any pics? Sounds like an awesome place to visit.
