After 16 hours travelling time Dee and I arrived in Las Vegas yesterday morning

We will be here for a week

I'm sure this town has doubled in size since I was hear 8 years ago. The watch shops in our hotel are amazing, 2 Rolex only shops, the saleman told me the have over 2500 Rolex's in stock

. Plenty of diamonds on most of them I think. I did try on the new Explorer and a few Panerai's

The view from our room is great

Yes, We are going to see Le Reve

then out to dinner with a couple of friends

Mike B · 30 October 2010, 09:52 AM

Nice ! Enjoy your Vegas trip my friend !!

The last time I was in Vegas (around 2002-2003 ish), they were just finishing the Hotel Paris. Vegas was really fun, exciting, and fast paced. We stayed for 3 days, and that was more than enough time to see everything, and have a little fun as well.

Edit - I just looked up the Paris hotel in Vegas, only to find out that they opened in late 1999. WOW how time flies ! I haven't been there in over 10 years !! Time for another trip !!! lol

gmh1013 · 30 October 2010, 10:13 AM

Its about a 5 hour drive for us.....but its time for a trip.
We goto to Laughlin more than Vegas because we can stay at Harrah for free with comps.....and hope we win.
Best win on a slot in Laughlin was in 2005? at Colorado Belle 10k on a dollar slot
In Vegas was 2500 on a .25 slot in 2007 at Mirage
My wife won 4k on video poker at Paris back in 01 or 02 I think.
You CAN get lucky and walk out with a wallet full once in awhile
Most of the time its empty

JUSTROLEXES · 30 October 2010, 10:14 AM

Have fun Peter and stay out of trouble

Don't do anything I wouldn't do

Looking forward to more snaps

View looks fantastic.....

Thinking about it...last time I was in Vegas was 1993!

HYDROMAROC · 30 October 2010, 10:49 AM

Make sure you go to the "real" Vegas. Fremont St. Cheaper games, no shows but still a good distraction from the volcanos, tigers, and pyramids...

100% agree.....

Fremont St is the true essence of Las vegas!! Minus the light show..

PHDX2 · 30 October 2010, 10:58 AM

HL65 · 30 October 2010, 11:18 AM

Enjoy Peter--welcome to the USA--Happy times in Vegas!!!

TheVTCGuy · 30 October 2010, 03:25 PM

As long as you're there visit my money and tell it I miss it OK?

Damage Inc. · 31 October 2010, 02:11 AM

While you're there...if you like Thai food, get to a place called Lotus of Siam. Really good food and a well chosen wine list. Ask Bank (that's the guy's name) to choose some wine for you...he knows his list well.

Have a great time!

Frogman4me · 31 October 2010, 09:02 AM

Have you seen any places that carry vintage rolexes? I might be heading to vegas in few months, thanks.

Have a great time, I take it that most of the shopping in that picture belongs to Dee? At least you are getting the benefit of a decent exchange rate.

All the best, Jules.
