October here I come!
B & C Camera of Las Vegas has been a Leica Dealer for years. They recently opened a Leica Boutique in the store. Seems odd that Leica would put in a store 3 miles away from an authorized Leica Boutique.
Coincidently, the new Leica store is right next to the Agent Provocateur boutique, which has the most photogenic window displays of any business in the complex!
I had always wondered why Leica didn’t have a store in Las Vegas, so I was pleasantly surprised to see one when I was at the Forum Shops in Las Vegas last week. They told me they had just opened the store the previous week. Great location, but there was very little foot traffic in that store when I was there. I was in there for only about 5-10 minutes talking to the salespeople and no other customers walked in during that time even though there are tons of people walking by since they happen to be the very first store on the left when you walk into the Forum Shops from the Las Vegas Blvd entrance. I hope business picks up for them. The salespeople we very eager to chat with me and didn’t pressure me too much to try out cameras. They seemed to have every current model of Leica cameras on display for customers to try out, along with lots of lenses, binoculars, and several types of high quality leather camera bags, which was very cool. My wife marveled at the quality of the leather camera bags. The salespeople in the store said it’s been very slow there so far since most people don’t know they are there yet. Hopefully, business will pick up there soon so they still there the next time I visit Vegas!
Ill have to take a drive down there soon to check it out, thanks for the report!
Just went by there today, nice store, although not very large. (And they didn’t even have the M-D there yet).
Buy it on Friday, pawn it on Sunday. Las Vegas, the city built by losers.
You’ll never loose money on a Leica. It’s an investment that will last for many years. And the quality will remain long after the price is forgotten….
Well, you will lose money on Leica cameras, big time. Lenses, only a little if you keep them for many years. But buy a new M today and it loses $40% as soon as you leave the shop. Like a car 😉
Do you work for Leica?
No, but I do own and run this CAMERA review and PHOTOGRAPHY related website that posts press releases 😉 There are thousands of Leica fans here, and this is something they would like to know. If you are not aware, sites like mine post press releases all the time, and this is what this is. Thank you.
I think he said that to Paul, because his quite unique statement. 😉 Haha. (Which for sure, Paul didn’t mean it the way you COULD read it 😛 )
Indeed, you will need to let “loose” money from your wallet at the door and also, as Steve mentions, lose on bodies immediately afterwards, in a major way.
Further to Steve’s point, I paid $400 for a near mint Summaron 35/3.5, 1951 vintage, several weeks ago. The IQ is worth every penny.
As if there weren’t already enough ways to lose all your money in Las Vegas 🙂 But at least this one will give you something worthwhile to take home…
Lol, true!
