Las Vegas, Nevada

[somethinpositiv]

They've built a Barneys New York on the Las Vegas strip, if anyone checks it out, let us know about it! Like does it have Chergui/Fumerie Turque, and does it have any Bell Jars?

Also, the shops at the Bellagio have a Chanel store that sells exclusifs, and others such as Hermes, Gucci, YSL, ect.

[The Bark]

Haven't been there yet--where exactly is it at? Neiman Marcus at Fashion Show has the best, and most diverse, collection with Creed, L'Artisan, Jo Malone, Keiko M., and lots of others. They said they were getting the Tom Ford private collection sometime this year.

[somethinpositiv]

Barneys is at The Palazzo hotel, it looks HUGE

[The Bark]

That's how fast they're going up here. I've been here almost 11 years now and I have no idea which is the Palazzo. I tend to avoid the strip unless I'm heading to the Fashion Show Mall or Ceasar Forum Shops where there's a good selection of boutiques (Varvatos, Penhaligon's, Etro, etc.)

[kess]

I had a chance to visit Barney's at the Canal Shoppes in Venetian/Palazzo. They had a pretty nice selection of niche lines. Here are the ones that I recall seeing there, there were probably more:

Acqua di Parma
Antonia's Flowers
Byredo
Comme des Garcons
Costume National
Frederic Malle
Heeley
L'Artisan Parfumeur
Le Labo
Nasomatto
Parfums 06130
Parfums de Rosine
Parfums Delrae
Serge Lutens
The Different Company

I know I did not post on here a lot, but I wanted to share what a wonderful experience I had at the Guerlain shop in the Palazzo (Venetian) Casino/Resort in Las Vegas. I dealt with Claire young and another very wonderful gentleman.

First off, the shop is awesome, they have every Guerlain you can think of, I got to test Cologne 68, many many many more, and FINALLY got to test DERBY and let me tell you it is pretty damn amazing. If I had the money to buy it, I would have dropped the cash on the spot.

A lot of times when you go into a perfume shop, you have one of either two experiences, the latter being that the staff is knowledgeable, smart, and kind. This shop is the latter, they were both very helpful and knew a hell a lot about Guerlian cologne, ie the notes, etc…. In addition, they told me some cool stuff about the history of the company.

Guys and gals, I am telling you, if you are in Vegas and want to buy some Guerlain go see these guys. Hell, even if you can’t afford to buy some great Guerlains, go in and they will likely love to talk shop with you. They seemed very very passionate about what they do and totally cool to the customers.


Their phone number is 702-732-7008, just in case anyone wants to order anything.

Yes, the boutique is staffed by wonderful people, and they will take phone orders, as well.

Sad the Truefitt and Hill barbershop closed in Las Vegas. A casualty to the economy.

[The Bark]

This is actually at the Palazzo. The Venetian is adjacent, though when walking from and to, one probably wouldn't notice. I forget the one gentleman's name (it was something on the unique side), but he was a pleasure to deal with, albeit I OD'ed on how much stuff they actually sprayed. There's also a Boutique at the Bellagio, too.

Yea, I just noticed that too when I looked at the business card and amended my post. I also emailed Claire a link to this article so hopefully he will chime in. He has some cool super old rare bottle of Guerlain cologne he was telling me about, maybe he can share more.

[andylama]

I went to that boutique a few weeks ago and met Claire. He was lovely. (Claire is a man, btw). He's pleasant, generous and knowledgeable. (no nasty SA's here!) The boutique is small, but they have pretty much everything you'd want to see (including Guerlain's cosmetics lines) No trip to Vegas would be complete without a visit.

Clarification: The Guerlain boutique at the Palazzo is the only free-standing boutique in the city. The other locations are only counters. (This was according to Claire himself--I did not fact-check him).

[LiveJazz]

Bump - I'm going soonish.

Anything new I should know about? Planning on hitting Guerlain @ Bellagio and Dior Perfumes @ Caesar's. Maybe Barney's @ The Venetian if I find the time, but boutiques are a higher priority.

I'm going next Wed for couple days and I haven't been in 10 years. Also planning to hit GUERLAIN Didn't know about Dior at Caesar's- thanks.

[andylama]

The free-standing Guerlain boutique is also at the Palazzo. Other Guerlain 'locations' in LV are only small counters at larger department stores. The one at the Palazzo is the place to go. Look for a dapper young man named Claire. He's friendly, knowledgeable and polite...a model SA.

It isn't big, but they have a lot of what you want to see. (two-thirds of the shop is cosmetics) They stock many of the harder-to-find classics.

[BayKAT]

I second asking for Claire, i get great service from him.

[knit at nite]

Andylama and BayKAT, thank you.

Palazzo here i come....Hope M. Claire is working the days I am there (fingers crossed)

Bumping this thread to report on my recent experience shopping there. I did not meet Claire, but I did meet Ms Tee and Chuck, who were both extremely knowledgeable and generous in spraying and allowing me to test to my heart's content..

[Primrose]

I agree! The SAs are so helpful, and I have met SA Tee--she is a gem!

You can register for updates of releases and pick up samples in vials.

If you are in Vegas, I urge you to stop and sniff and browse.

[Primrose]

I recommend asking for Tee at Guerlain, as she is very, very helpful. Very good customer service from her!

[pancks]

May I add my kudos for Ms Tee? My experience was over the phone ordering some Sous Le Vent and she was the most pleasant and helpful SA I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Will definitely place all my orders with this Guerlain shop!

[Mimi Gardenia]

Wonderful - thanks for the info !

[cellophane]

Another thumbs up from me regarding Claire Young and the Guerlain boutique at the Palazzo. He is my go-to guy for all things Guerlain. We already have an appointment for a couple of weeks from now when I will be in Vegas. Can't wait!

When we were there last, he converted my wife to Guerlain and for that, I'm eternally grateful.

[Mimi Gardenia]

Cheers!

[JeanieE]

Any Vegas updates??! I'm here!!

[WillBell]

My experience with the Guerlain Boutique at the Palazzo has been outstanding. Jorganne is super in every way. I feel valued, and the service I have received is impeccible. The boutique's inventory is extensive, and Jorganne went out of her way to help me special order something from the Champs Elysees boutique in Paris. Shipping is free, and no sales tax for this out of stater. Whatr a great experience.

[Redneck Perfumisto]

The Guerlain boutique beats any game or show in Las Vegas, hands down!

[Tappio]

This is one of my "must visit" spots every time I'm in Vegas. Everyone there is extremely friendly and helpful, and it is always a pleasure to sample things I just can't find elsewhere. I highly recommend everyone stop in whilst in Vegas.

[hednic]

Have ordered via phone from them in the past and it was a wonderful experience. Next time I'm in Vegas, I will definitely stop by.

[philmcphe]

Ahhhh I love Claire! Knows me by name and is always so helpful and in a great mood!

[massy03]

You can find the La Collection Privee fragrances at the Dior Beauty Boutique in the Palazzo. Barneys is down the hall and Guerlain is 4 stores down.
