NASCAR Cafe and Museum in Las Vegas by Vince O'Hare

UPDATE 1/23/2012 - The Sahara Hotel which housed the Museum has closed down and the Museum is closed.

On my recent trip to Las Vegas I went to a few places that I usually don't go to. Just for something different I went to the end of the Las Vegas strip to the NASCAR Cafe in the Sahara Hotel and casino.

I am a huge NASCAR fan but in all the time I went to Vegas I had no idea this was there. Shame on me, if you are a NASCAR fan you have to make plans to go to this cool place.

As you will see from these pictures this is NASCAR heaven. Click on a picture for a larger view. The first picture is one of Dale Earnhardt's Goodwrench Chevrolet. I just wish someone was with me so I could get into the picture.

Next up is a picture of Dale Earnhardt jr's Busch series car as you can see they let you take pictures. You could even stand next to them.

Of course they have Dale Earnhardt jr's #8 Nextel cup car and it is hanging from the ceiling. It is placed at the level of the tables upstairs in the cafe. You can have a meal while sitting right next to the car.

It doesn't get any cooler than that.  If you are a NASCAR fan you have to come check this out. They also have some of the coolest NASCAR merchandise. There is stuff that you must have. I know I spent a few hundred very easily. For more pictures see our NASCAR Museum page and our NASCAR pictures page.
