Nick Dossa is a Canadian-born entrepreneur and automotive executive known for founding and operating Vegas Auto Gallery, Las Vegas’ largest indoor showroom for luxury and exotic vehicles. As dealer principal, he has grown the business from a one-car operation into a multi-story facility with franchises for brands like Lotus and partnerships with the Vegas Golden Knights and other organizations. Nick’s approach combines a lifelong passion for cars with a commitment to fairness, curated inventory, and concierge-level service, earning the trust of clients from around the world. His work extends beyond sales, with active involvement in community events and philanthropic initiatives.
Early Life & Background
Born and raised in Canada during the 1980s recession, Nick lost his father at a young age. His mother, Sherin Dossa, was a top-ranked Realtor who achieved No. 1 in Canada in 1993 and 11th worldwide, and she instilled in Nick and his two siblings the values of hard work and resilience. As a teenager, Nick bought and sold cars using AutoTrader while attending school, negotiating deals through beepers and pay phones. He later earned a degree in business and opened a small dealership after graduation. When his mother fell ill, he moved to Las Vegas to be closer to family and soon discovered that the local luxury car market lacked variety and competition.
Entrepreneurial Beginnings
In his youth, Nick bought and sold cars while balancing school and work, sharpening his negotiation skills and building a network of clients. Those early ventures laid the groundwork for his future dealerships. Guided by the example of his mother, who raised three children on her own while becoming Canada’s top Realtor in 1993 and ranking 11th worldwide, Nick pursued both business education and hands-on experience.
Building Vegas Auto Gallery
Upon relocating to Las Vegas, Nick saw an opportunity to disrupt the luxury and exotic vehicle market. At the time, there were few dealers, limited selection and little price competition. Starting from a modest warehouse, he opened Vegas Auto Gallery with a commitment to fairness, transparency and service. The company quickly gained a reputation for concierge-level care and a curated inventory of high-line vehicles. Nick notes that although Las Vegas is known for its flash, his mission has always been to provide substance—quality cars, honest deals and a welcoming environment.
Leadership & Growth
Under Nick’s guidance, Vegas Auto Gallery has become one of the largest exotic and luxury car dealerships in the United States. The showroom features brands like Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls‑Royce, Aston Martin and more, supported by an in-house service department for specialty vehicles. In 2025 he purchased Johnny Legends and rebranded it as Las Vegas Mitsubishi, broadening his company’s reach. Vegas Auto Gallery is also the only authorized Lotus dealer in Nevada and has become the top‑performing Lotus dealership in the nation.
Community & Philanthropy
Nick’s business philosophy extends beyond cars. He is dedicated to the Las Vegas community and supports local sports teams and charities. Vegas Auto Gallery is the official luxury car partner of the Vegas Golden Knights, and Nick is an avid supporter of the team. The dealership frequently hosts “cars and coffee” events and participates in charity auctions; for instance, Nick donated a Lotus to benefit the Cleveland Clinic’s Larry Ruvo Center for Brain Health, teaming up with actor Sylvester Stallone to auction a walk‑on role in the series Tulsa King. Nick emphasises that after the tragic events of One October, Las Vegas came together as a city, and he is proud to contribute to that sense of unity.
Family & Values
Despite his business success, Nick keeps family at the center of his life. He credits his wife Selcen, his mother Sherin and his brother Reese for their unwavering support. Vegas Auto Gallery is a family-led enterprise, with Reese serving as chief strategy officer. Nick believes that the loyalty of his family and team, along with strong community relationships, are the true foundation of his company’s growth.
