Vegas Baby, Vegas!

Not as exciting as title might have you think.

Just thought I’d share some info on my pitstop at Wynn Rolex Boutique (which is owned incidentally by Watches of Switzerland).

No SS (or PM or even TT) professional references, but amazing historical display including some nice vintage pieces.

Pictures tell the story





























The AP shop in the Polazzo was temporarily closed for private client viewing.

The lack of SS professional models on display will be echoed all across the ADs in the city, as it is all over the world.

There’s an AP boutique at crystals right next to a Rolex boutique. There’s also a Patek Phillipe boutique there, along with a Richard Mille, Hublot and Tag Heuer.

The Venetian right next door to the Wynn has 2 ADs by Horologio. The one by the Love sign has a selection nice selection of A Lange & Sohne. The one on the ground floor next to the canal has a selection of Grand Seiko and they even have the Godzilla reference.

Just to clarify so others don't get excited or confused: There are no Rolex ADs in the Canal Shoppes @ Venetian/Palazzo... Not trolling, just wanted to clarify... Those 2 stores you referenced do have cool brands, though quite annoying salespeople... Lol

I never said there were Rolex ADs in the venetian. He was looking at AP in addition to Rolex and I thought I’d mention the other interesting watch boutiques around the strip that have far more to look at

Really awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing them. The Director of that Rolex is a great guy.

I stopped by the WOS Rolex AD on my way to the Wynn 40k signature poker tournament... I didn't see the display. All I saw was empty shelves

Visited the Wynn & was told that I needed to spend 100K to even be considered for a SS model.

I’m off to Las Vegas in April and naively going to ask of there is any hope of any stainless models since there appears to be a lot of AD’s. Guess I’ll be in no luck. Lol
