Well things are slow this week at the office so I found it the perfect excuse to grab a flight to Vegas.

Time to try every watch on my wish list, and Vegas is the best place to do that.

Decided to take 44mm with me, as it's the perfect travel companion.

Will update as we go. Could get interesting....

HL65 · 12 July 2012, 09:19 PM

Great traveling mate! Enjoy and come home a winner!

EdChoi · 12 July 2012, 10:01 PM

Perfect travel watch, do post pics of pieces you see, have a blast!

Slider817 · 12 July 2012, 10:12 PM

Have a good trip, I was just in Vegas, stayed at the Wynn, you don't even need to leave the hotel to see basically every high end watch.

Enjoy, and am looking forward to your pics

PS. Fantastic watch

MrJ320 · 12 July 2012, 10:26 PM

Have a great trip, looking forward to the updates and the photos

Andrés G · 12 July 2012, 11:04 PM

Sounds like it will end up being an expensive trip. Hope you find what you're looking for.

Enjoy your time in Vegas.

I work for The Venetian/The Palazzo and I have to agree with you. The employees in the watch stores and not educated. The exception is Horologico where I've had some better luck getting ee's that know what they're talking about.

One of the girls at Venezia at Palazzo told me last month when I tried on Legacy that in order for them to sell it to me I have to buys another watch first.

I didn't know Legacy was that popular at 48mm.

Check out Radiance at Aria, John over there was nice and offered discount right away on a Diver

Try Milo's Mediterranean restaurant at Cosmopolitan, great seafood!

Will head to Radiance today (EDIT- looks like they have closed). Moving hotels to Mandarin Oritental today so will be next door. Yesterday was a bust as far as AP. did see one 44mm carbon, several 15400 and one new 15202--too small for me, but very nice!

Going to do the Bellagio route today--probably more Rolex/Patek hunting there.

Mike I did not get pics of it ( feel weird whipping out camera). It was nice, not for me because of size, but amazing piece.
