“Car & Motorcycle Museum”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2012

There wasn't much to see. The brochure advertised that Magnum PI's Ferrari was there but it wasn't and there were only two cars there, Jame Bond's car and Herbie's Love Bug. Most of the museum was turned into a slot machine area and a smoking room. Very disappointing. Glad I didn't have to pay any admission fee.

“Quick stop”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2012

More celebrity items than cars but I enjoyed the items very much. The museum & casino are one. Not two seperate areas which I would have liked but it is free. It is located in the celebrity hotel which made it super easy to find. However, parking not so much since it is located off of main street.

“Not worth the time”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

person found this review helpful

This was part of a casino and an attempt to throw a hodge-podge of celebrity paraphernalia together to draw tourists into the building. If you have a real strong attraction to one of the exhibits, it would be worth a stop since it is free, but it just felt tacky.

“Nice way to kill some time”

This attraction is not well marked. It is inside the Celebrity Casino and Hotel. It is free to walk through but only will take you about 30-45 minutes.

“Not huge, but excellent content - and it's FREE!”

The subject says it all. Cool stuff and the price is right. Walking through the attached Celebrity Hotel and Casino also presents you with more museum-quality exhibits.
