Talking The company that we keep!

We were in Vegas this past weekend and stayed at our usual hotel....the Bellagio.

It was pretty cool to walk into valet and see a SGM IS F parked in the "showcase" section right next to the door with this Ferrari.

P.S. Feel bad for the dude with the F....driver's side fog light had been blown out.

Nice! Although I'm sure the Ferrari owner doesn't appreciate sharing the spotlight with a non-exotic.

LOL....not sure what kind of clearbra's they're putting on your M's Henry....but it's sure not going to hold an entire fog light in place with the impact needed to remove one completely like this one.

Classy! I've stayed there before and it's a beautiful place, great deals now too. Love the fountains.

Nice to see the IS-F getting some love from the valet.

When I was there last year there were LS 600h Ls being chauffeured regularly to the Bellagio's porte cochere.

You are correct Sir!

I completely forgot to mention that they had a few 600h's as their "house" cars for VIP's.

Awesome... I'd totally try to valet my car to see where they park it, but I don't trust the valet... self parking only for me!

BTW, OT but how fast are the 360s? Just curious.

Yeah, whenever I valet in Dallas at place like the Ritz, etc., they always valet it in the front with the big boys! The valet guys always are highly complimentary of the F... they particularly like the exhaust note of the Joe-Z and the LED interior lights I have. Pretty cool to be up there with the lambos, bentleys, etc.
