I see. If there is a even short line, I think I should make an appointment. Cuz I'm going to be with my kids. Thank you for replying!
I’m going this coming Thursday! Anyone seen a Bolide 25 there?
I’d love a classic non-logo bag.

Hello, I am going to Las Vegas next weekend with my wife for our 5th wedding anniversary and would like to get her something really special, i.e. a B/K. We are staying at Wynn, but can go to any of the boutiques. Can anyone please share any tips for making this happen? I’ve read that the Las Vegas boutiques cater more to tourists and are not necessarily about long term relationships?
Also, could anyone please make a referral to a SA that would be able to help us?

This may have been true ten years ago but is no longer the case. Vegas requires relationships just like any other H location, it’s just that many of its clients fly in to shop and have lifestyles where they can do so with a few days when called. In this current extremely low inventory climate, I don’t think even dropping $50k on a piece of fine jewelry would do the trick for a B or K, but maybe a Constance. At the end of the day they need to repeatedly hit sales numbers month after month and thus require long term regularly returning customers.
I second what @acrowcounted said.
Many YouTubers or online forum have mentioned that Vegas caters to tourists and can potentially score a b or k without purchase history or lower spend. Things have changed since the pandemic. Many of their regular customers wait for months to get an offer. Your chances might be higher if you try Wynn or Crystal. They have more stocks.
If you are lucky and willing to spend a lot, sometimes they might have bags their manager really wants to sell by the end of the month (most likely in exotic leather like croc, higher priced b or k). Good luck and please let us know if you are able to get a b or k.
I agree, I have had the same experience. There is not a lot of stock anywhere in the US, and building a relationship with an SA is essential. i go to Vegas every couple of months to maintain a presence. I suggest you come up with a back up plan. There are a bunch of Van Cleef & Arpels scattered throughout Vegas. Maybe your wife would like that. Good luck
Agree... there isn't a difference with Vegas versus other boutiques. Yes, they have a lot of transient traffic, but they push long term relationships just as much as any other boutique. Actually, perhaps even more.
Thank you all for the replies! If there’s any chance, do you think it’s best to be direct and simply say we’re celebrating our anniversary and looking for a B/K? Any particular sales associates we should try to talk to?
Also, assuming we strike out, does anyone have suggestions on the best places to get quality secondhand B/Ks?
It does not hurt to ask, but 100% chance you will not walk out with a quota bag with no history/spend. No particular SA could be of help here, unfortunately.
There are many reputable sellers of quota bags; I would suggest you review the stickied reseller thread here.
Agree with jenay, they hear these stories a hundred times a day to the point where I’ve caught SAs making involuntary eye rolls. It’s always someone’s anniversary or milestone birthday or career achievement and I think the SAs are generally pretty jaded and unmoved to care, especially for a new client. At the end of the day, the SA and the store itself has sales goals to make so they “reward” their long term clients who help them reach these goals with B/K offers. For resale, I recommend fashionphile for reliable authentic bags and a no questions asked return policy.
I was just at the Bellagio store 10 minutes ago, and of course with “no” bags available and all they have is on the shelf (lol), the attitude of the SA is really annoying and she didn’t even say thank you after she handed me my purchase, what in the world!
I stopped shopping at Bellagio because of this. Aria doesn't have great service either but I found the Wynn store to be much more attentive and polite.
I was deciding between Las Vegas stores as well. does the Wynn store have much more inventory? Thanks!
