VX flight was late. I picked it up Aug 06, 2017 (Sunday), around 11pm or so. Told the agent I've never seen the lot so empty before. Think she mentioned something about conventions.
Walking past the regular Hz counter, seeing all those customers, makes you glad your name is on the gold board. Then again, I think the gold desk was closed at that late hour.

Disappointing
Arrived Tuesday 8/22 around noon. PC section had five cars: two Camry's, a Fusion, a Nissan Rogue that looked as if it had been recently keyed and the Maxima I took that was relatively clean despite 38k on the odometer. 5* was full of a mix of intermediate class.
Friday 8/25 return around 6AM there was one Camry, Hyundai Sonata and a Santa Fe.

-Land Rover Discovery Sport (one I picked)
-Mustang Convertible

On Return on Sun 8/27, there were a lot more cars available but I didn't see anything special, mostly the standard F/YF cars.

Now that LAS has Ultimate Choice, renting a fullsize (unless it cheaper than a midzise or standard) is a needless expense and has no bearing on the car you end up with.

Picked up my car a little after midnight. Entire lot was pretty empty; maybe only four or five cars in each section.
PC choices were two MB SLC 300 Cabrios, an Altima, an Infiniti Q60 coupe and an Infiniti Q50 sedan, which I took. It's a 2017 3.0t model with CA plates and 17,500 miles on the odometer.
I noted a Porsche Macan and a Cayenne, Range Rover, and a Tesla Model S in the Ultimate Series section.
The lot was just about full on Sunday around 1300 when I returned my car.

PC - 7 pm on the Friday after CES. Ended up with the one and only Volvo S90. Also had a bunch of Infinitis, a brace of Chrysler 300s (one V6 300S AWD, one touring), a wide selection of Cadillac CTSs (probably a better car than the S90 but at least I know for next time) and pick-your-own Infiniti Q50. There was a Tahoe and a bunch of minivans in the 5* section too as well as a few F cars if that's your thing. Gold was pretty empty though they did have an Impala Limited - sort of want to rent one out of pure nostalgia!

After seeing a bonanza of luxury vehicles in LAS in June, I was totally unimpressed by PC selection last Thurs just before midnight. Basically nothing but a few F domestics. Was going to take a Equinox from the Gold Star aisle... it was base but only had 770 miles. They brought an Infiniti QX70 up..27k miles though. Still took it for the drive to Utah.
At least price was good... too bad about poor selection.

PC renting at LAS last Saturday morning, LAS is an Ultimate Choice location. There was one Infiniti Q50 in the UC Aisle which I grabbed. There were a couple of smaller SUVs and then the usual selection of standard issued rental cars (Sonatas, Altimas, Fusions etc.)

Hi there! Does one of the Forum members have any recent insight what model year the Adrenaline Collection Mustang GT Premiums are? I´m planning on renting one out for 11 days starting 08APR. The Hertz Website states on their Adrenaline Collection page that it will be 2016 models. But I doubt that ´16s are still around the fleet due to the mileage. Can I even expect one of those (Shelby) GT-H as a Gold member?
