I am in Vegas for a few days at the National Association of Broadcasters trade show. Any advice on a nice AD here in Vegas to peek at if I get a chance? Not to buy, just to look and maybe try a few things on for fun. Int he airport there was some Rolex adverts that mentioned a few hotels, are those ones with dedicated Rolex stores, or just jewelery stores that also are Rolex ADs? Thanks folks!

The Wynn is great, just don't expect any deals. Tourneau is also a fun place to go if you like getting treated like dirt!

I agree with scott!!!

There is a watch store in Treasure Island. It was stacked with Rolex when I was there in January. I did not talk to the sales staff, so I do not know about discounts or friendliness.

Yume-sama · 19 April 2009, 01:54 PM

As stated, The Wynn is good. But don't go expecting deals. It IS the tourist capital of the World, filled with *many* extremely WEALTHY people.

Not the best conditions for bargaining / discounts.

rpryan55 · 19 April 2009, 01:57 PM

I was there in February on the hunt for a watch. I found no deals on Rolex no matter where I went. And at Tourneau, I got an attitude along with a complete lack of knowledge about the product. But Scott's right, the Wynn is fantastic.

asian1128 · 19 April 2009, 02:03 PM

There are rolex ad everywhere in vegas. the selections at the wynn are great, bellagio, torneau at forum shops (caesars palace)have great selections too.but u cant get discount on those ad's. there are also ad's at the mirage and in the mgm grand, they wer offering 10% discount when i was there end of march.Then if you will have the item shipped u can save tax..
Vegas has great selections of rolex but its not the best place to buy. you cant get a good deal there.. there are some ads that gives 20%discount on other state ,not in vegas!!

When I was in Vegas a few years ago, I tried the Tourneau. I was checking out a Bluesy, but I was really searching for an SS Sub. When I asked the sales rep if he had any in stock, he said he only had one in the safe, and I could only try it on if I was going to purchase it!

When I showed my surprise, he further shocked me by saying that Bluesy was the original version of the Submariner, and the black stainless version hadn't come on the scene until many years later!?!?

Long story short, I took the elevator down from my room in the Mirage, and bought my first Rolex, a stainless Sub, at a humble place called Watch Boutique. They were friendly, eager to please, and all other things somebody should be when dealing luxury items. The experience was painless. I'd go there again!

Nicky G · 19 April 2009, 04:34 PM

thanks all! I'm not here to buy, just browse and maybe try some stuff on. Unfortunately the AD at MGM was closed when we got out of the restaurant right across the hall from it, so i may check out one or two tomorrow if biz allows. :)

That would have been the green light for me to try it, then hand it back saying "nah, changed my mind, what you going to do now, sue me"

diablojota · 19 April 2009, 04:40 PM

To see a great assortment of them, The Wynn is the place to go. But I wouldn't purchase from there.

mikeyatc · 19 April 2009, 04:49 PM

The AD in Reno gave me 12% off a new Sub Date.

KKB · 19 April 2009, 04:51 PM

At the Wynn/Encore there are actually two Rolex-only stores. One on the Encore side of the Esplanade and another on the Wynn side. The selection on display is huge, and the salespeople are friendly and encourage you to try on anything you want.

No discounts, but they will ship the watch to you out of state so that you don't pay any sales tax.

I'm in Vegas at the NAB Convention also. I'm staying at Bellagio. Jet lag had me up at 4am this morning.

I plan to use today to stop at ADs. Tesorini (Bellagio), Tourneau (Caesars) and possibly one or 2 others.

JayDH · 19 April 2009, 11:46 PM

I have had good experiences browsing the AD in the Bellagio. I haven't gone to the Wynn AD yet but will be sure to check it out this August when I'm back in Vegas.

I have also had very bad experiences at Tourneau. Very rude and uninformed salespeople. The woman I dealt with spewed wrong information for 10 minutes and looked annoyed after I didn't buy a watch within my first 5 minutes there.

Nicky G · 20 April 2009, 05:28 AM

Well, I got a chance to stop by the Rolex store at Encore, and all I can say is WOW!!! What a selection! And Carolee who works there was extremely friendly and definitely gave me attention despite the fact that I told her upfront I was in browsing mode. I highly recommend a visit there for any Rolex fan in Vegas. No discounting as others have said, but if you're looking for something a little tougher to find, they might just have it. Thanks again for the tip, gang!

allanofcalifornia · 20 April 2009, 05:39 AM

Do the ADs in Vegas always have all the different models in stock? They must sell a ton of watches!

The stores in Vegas are pretty well stocked. Vegas in general has an impressive number of watch dealers/retail outlets, with virtually every brand you have ever heard of being represented. Generally though, none will give you a discount.

mck22 · 20 April 2009, 06:35 AM

I was in vegas in December and the best luck I had was in TI. The staff was friendly but we never talked price.

Steve Wynn, owner of the Wynn and Encore claims in his informercial that is broadcast on the "Encore" channel in the Encore hotel rooms that his Rolex stores stock every variety of Rolex that is in production. I can almost believe it seeing the store.

allanofcalifornia · 20 April 2009, 08:40 AM

Are there any or a lot of places in Vegas selling pre-owned Rolex watches? If yes, then do they sell them at a fair price or top dollar?

Thanks
Allan

TempoKing · 20 April 2009, 09:44 AM

Best deals are right here at TRF....look no further.
All Rolex watches are availble for sale between
10% and 40% off retail for new watches and 40% to 75% for used
depending on how easy or difficult are these watches to get

If not today, one will show up tomorrow....

Well said. I was looking for a BNIB ND Sub. Can't find one at a great deal, but there's lots of other great deals here. And, as many will attest, Anastasios is one of the best guys here to deal with on watches.

mdtddd2007 · 20 April 2009, 03:36 PM

Wynn is best selections. On the strip of all hotels...don't count on discount...back home local will be much better.

Nicky G · 21 April 2009, 12:00 AM

The only stuff not there that I noticed were dssd and green milgaus. Overall it was awesome!

Arby · 21 April 2009, 09:43 AM

I stopped in Torneau at the Forum Shops yesterday and the salesperson was very nice ( I was wearing my Day Date. Can't say if that had a factor into it or not.). She said the Deapsea stays in a day and is sold. She also said they had the Milgauss. I wasn't sure if it was green glass or not (not interested). Even said they could work on a deal for a new (or trade) Day Date. But a definite no on discounts for the Sport watches.

I've been interested in Breitling for years and the salesperson even took me around to the back of the store where they had Navitimers on sale.

I didn't buy anything though...
