Viva Las Vegas

okay guys i just got back from vegas last night, and i had the best time of my life, vegas was simply amazing.

i saw some nice shows, lost some money lol, had great food AND VISITED SO MANY AD's

by the way i have never seen so many rolex's as i saw in vegas, almost every other person was wearing one !!

ok other than the bad news of losing my money, i forgot to pack my camera charger and i tried buying another one but they but no one sold any !!

so i took some phone shots and some shots with my friends camera but he went back to dubai and im in houston now so i will posting a very little of pics later !!

Tell us about the ADs please.
Which was your favorite? Who had the most? (I assume Wynn) Where there lots of bling watches? Etc.
I'm going back in March or April.

Sounds like a great trip!

I never really had an interest in Las Vegas, until I realized that there are a ton of ADs with virtually no repeat business. Hmmmm...

I was watching a National Geographic special about the power grids of Las Vegas.

They say the city spends somewhere in the millions of dollars a year on just supplying the city with the light it uses.

Las Vegas needs so much electricity that they purchase it from nearby major cities (like Reno, or Los Angeles) just to keep the city lit because just their own supply alone cannot meet the demands for energy. And that purchased electricity aint cheap one bit.

Man and those people who keep the power lines in the deserts near the city maintained, all I can say is wow. Their work is so scary and very important. I gotta give them the credit they deserve.

The store at Wynn is quite impressive.


The showcase lighting is perfect.

I went to Vegas a couple of years ago on a business trip. Most of my free time in the evening was touring the various watch shops and there are an amazing array of them--I have never seen so many brands in one city--wow. Glad you had some fun.
