Vegas watch shopping

[Spice_Weasel]

Re-posted bue to Blackberry problems!!

I am sure there was a thread on good watch shops in Vegas (not the ones in the Caesar's Palace mall) but I can't find it using search.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the thread or help via knowledge of the city please?

Mate is over there next week and may be looking to add something to his collection.

TIA

When I was over in the summer, they were in the process of opening an Omega boutique in The Bellagio. Having said that, a quick look over prices suggests there is very little saving to be made, and a lot of the stuff seemed to be cheaper in the UK.

I'd second that. I had a look around quite a few watch shops whilst over there in September and the Longines I had my eye on was significantly more expensive than in the UK (c$2,300 compared to c£1,300). And rather annoyingly, nothing is actually priced in the shops so you have to keep asking how much things are.

Wynn has two watch shops, a general one selling Panerai etc & a seperate one that is Rolex only.

On the Wynn in-room tv Steve Wynn says that the Rolex shop is the only one in the world guaranteed to hold every model of Rolex in stock. If thats your thing, worth a look, though i would doubt that discounts would be forthcoming.

There's also a good shop in the Venetian, can't remember the name though. Had a good selection of brands and were willing to haggle without much effort....

I was there last week and in the 3 Rolex stores I looked in they were all at least 20-30% more expensive than the UK.

We stayed at the hard rock hotel and they have a well stocked watch shop.

I found however that they weren't great discounters and I could only get the price down to save c£50 over the UK RRP
