Tour Information
Three legendary garages, two TV-famous shops, and one unforgettable motorcoach ride through the beating heart of Las Vegas car culture — this tour is built for people who think horsepower is a love language.
There are Las Vegas tours that show you the Strip, and then there are tours that take you somewhere most visitors never think to look — into the working garages and collection halls where automotive art actually gets made. The Count's Kustoms Car Tour is firmly in that second category. It begins the moment you board the motorcoach, which isn't your average charter bus. It's a vehicle built to set the tone, and by the time you stop for a photo at the iconic Welcome to Las Vegas sign, you already know this isn't a sightseeing loop — it's a rolling tribute to horsepower and craftsmanship.
The first stop is Count's Kustoms, the East Las Vegas shop made famous by the History Channel series *Counting Cars*. What the show captures in edited segments, you get to experience up close and at your own pace. The cars here aren't props — they're finished works that tell stories of what's possible when skilled hands get to work on raw metal. Every curve and chrome detail is intentional, and seeing them in person rather than through a camera lens is a completely different kind of experience. From there, the tour rolls to Welder Up, home of *Vegas Rat Rods* on Discovery Channel — a shop with a distinctly grittier aesthetic. Where Count's Kustoms leans into polish and precision, Welder Up deals in transformation: taking forgotten machines and rebuilding them into something that feels both post-apocalyptic and oddly alive.
The final destination is the Shelby American Collection, a museum dedicated to the legacy of Carroll Shelby and the performance cars that redefined American motorsport. Cobras, GT500s, Daytonas — the Shelby name carries serious weight among car lovers, and standing next to these machines in person has a way of making decades of automotive history feel immediate and personal. Taken together, the three stops create a journey through distinct chapters of car culture: custom craftsmanship, raw fabrication, and racing heritage. If you've ever watched either of those TV shows and thought 'I'd love to actually see that shop,' this tour answers that question directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How different are Count's Kustoms and Welder Up from each other?
They're almost opposites. Count's Kustoms is about polished, precision custom work — the kind of finished builds that stop you mid-sentence. Welder Up goes the other direction entirely: raw, industrial fabrication that turns rusted-out machines into something almost sculptural. Visiting both on the same tour gives you a genuine sense of how wide the world of custom car culture actually is.
Do you need to be a hardcore car enthusiast to enjoy this tour?
Deep mechanical knowledge isn't required, but a genuine curiosity about craft and transformation helps. Fans of the TV shows Counting Cars or Vegas Rat Rods will feel like they've stepped inside the screen, while the Shelby Museum carries enough visual drama — Cobras, GT500s, Daytona racers — that even casual admirers tend to find themselves lingering longer than expected.
What's the pace of the tour like, and how much time do you actually spend inside each stop?
The tour moves between three distinct locations, so expect a mix of motorcoach travel and self-paced exploration at each stop. None of the venues are physically demanding — mostly walking and standing — but bring a camera and budget extra time mentally for the Shelby Museum, where the collection tends to slow people down considerably.
