| - READ MY REVIEW IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A PURCHASE HERE AT THE BRIGHTON IN CAESARS PALACE.
I walked in here on a hot hot October day, only be to greeted by a sales associate and offered cold bottled water. COOL! I feel special already.
I eyed a couple of bags by Bottega only to rule them out because they were EXPENSIVE. I stumbled upon the Furla area and started to drool. Quickly decided to rehyrdate my mouth with water from Brighton than saliva. I picked up this relatively big all leather hobo handbag and frantically searched for a price tag. There was none. So I proceeded to the sales associate who had given me water.
Heidi C.: There's no pricetag for this bag, how much is it?
Sales Associate (SA): Oh let me check for you...
Heidi C: Okay thanks
**Heidi C. keeps drinking her water while the SA talks to another SA to find out the price of this gorgeous Furla bag**
SA: I'm pulling it up right now. I believe it's 50% off.
Heidi C.: OH MY GOD REALLY? Okay...
**Heidi C. noticed the two SAs whispering to eachother about my bag, staring at it, touching it, etc**
SA: It's originally about a thousand dollars, but we discounted it to you for $495
Heidi C.: WOW that is a big discount....so wait, can I know the exact original price?
SA: Let me look...about a thousand
Heidi C.: About? Uh...okay
**Heidi C. spends about 15 mins deciding if she wants the bag, discussing it with my friends**
Heidi C.: I think I'm going to pass...thanks though.
SA: Are you sure? It's 50% off, $495 is a good deal.
Heidi C.: I know, thanks though.
AND GUESS WHAT? I DID MY RESEARCH AFTERWARDS AND THAT EXACT FURLA BAG WAS PRICED ORIGINALLY AT $475. EXCUSE ME? SO THE DAMN SALES ASSOCIATES AT THIS VERY BRIGHTON WERE TRYING TO RIP ME OFF, BY TELLING ME THE BAG WAS A GRAND WHEN IT REALLY WASN'T, THEN TRYING TO LURE ME TO BUY IT BY TELLING ME THAT IT'S 50% OFF WHEN IT REALLY WASN'T AT ALL. THEN THEY PROCEED TO TELL ME THAT IT'S $495 WHEN THE ORIGINAL PRICE IS $475. THAT'S $20 MORE. WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE??
I AM SO TICKED OFF BY THIS BRIGHTON. IMAGINE HOW MUCH ANGRIER I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD I PURCHASED THAT FURLA BAG. IF I COULD BURN THIS BRIGHTON DOWN WITHOUT GETTING IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW, I SOOOO WOULD.
Ladies & gents, do your research next time you go handbag shopping.
I definitely learned from this experience.
F YOU BRIGHTON COLLECTIBLES.
