I'll be heading to Vegas in a few weeks and wanted to know where you guys thought I should stop by to find the best selection and prices of Rolexes?! AD or non-AD is fine, but please differentiate.

Also, I had heard that the Wynn Rolex shop had some crazy 'sale' a little while back, but never found out the details. Anyone have the full story about that?

Last time I was in LV I stopped at several AD's (they are primarily in the major hotel 'malls'--Bellagio, Wynn, etc). You get a whole lot of attitude and zippo discount. Don't know what you are looking for, but better off buying elsewhere IMHO. Avoid AD's get it 'used' in LV.

Vegas is a hot spot for Pre-owned. If you are looking to buy new then you can get a better deal in almost any other city in America.

There are a ton of Vegas AD threads here.

Let me summarize:

Vegas is a great window shopping town. Not good for buying unless you like paying full MSRP.

Great Rolex selections: Wynn AD, Tesorini at Bellagio and maybe Tourneau. Be prepared for less than stellar treatment at Tourneau but very nice folks at the former. A lady at Wynn almost "insisted" that I try on a watch. I obliged and put on a WG Daytona!!

If I were heading there, I'd want to visit the Gold and Silver pawn shop, just to see what they had and what their prices were like, every time I see Pawn Stars they have a decent selection (albiet two-tone).

Just look there, man. I bought my there while on my honeymoon, bu I'd never buy another one there again.

I would be very careful buying used in a city like Vagas...

Watch store at Mirage offered me 10% discount plus by shipping to me in CA I saved NV sales tax.

Definitely on my places to visit while I am there just to check out the store itself. I'll definitely take some pictures of their selection if I can.

raskal83 · 7 June 2011, 05:32 AM

Guess the concensus is to just go window shopping out there as I had expected. Still on the hunt for a SS Daytona with black dial (non ceramic bezal). Guess the hunt will continue if I hit up the islands.

nsatibl · 7 June 2011, 05:44 AM

They have a black dial SS Daytona at the shops in the Mirage. I just got a call letting me know they just got a black and white dial one in on Saturday. The number is 702-791-7111.

Abid · 7 June 2011, 05:50 AM

Another member here mentioned T-Bird Jeweller's in Summerlin. Other then that Vegas is just good for window shopping.

expensive as hell and condition of the watches aren't so good

My favorite AD in Vegas was the AD at the Bellagio. I stayed at the Bellagio and the guy let me try on all sorts of watches from Rolex to Panerai up and through Patek. I had my GMT-IIc on, but I let him know I was strictly window shopping. It was a quiet part of the day and he was excited to meet a WIS, so he obliged and let me try on whatever I wanted. He brought out a platinum Patek without me even mentioning it. No pressure sales tactics or anything. After about thirty minutes of treating the AD like my personal playground, I thanked him and moved on.

If you bring up a lesser popular brand and work from there, the ADs typically respond well. I went to the AD at the Pallazo (or whichever has the Lamborghini dealership) and tried on a URWERK and started speaking with him about IWC. He was trying to give me hats for the two brands just to call him back if I was ever interested.

But as mentioned, I would only use it for window shopping.
