| - With the debut of the Vegas Golden Knights, we thought it was appropriate to make our first trip to the team's official store at T-Mobile Arena, The Armory.
There was a lot of good about our visit but did have one negative we felt we should point out. When deciding if & when we should go, we wanted to call and double check on the hours that the store would be open as we were wanting to go earlier in the day of the home opener. We tried calling 3 times and each call we chose the automated option to be connected with an associate and each time we were unable to be connected to a live person. In the end, we decided to just go, but in the future, I am hopeful they will have the system ironed out so you can reach a staff member.
With the negative out of the way, let me just say that the VGK team has done a great job with the store. Getting in and out was super easy and both associates we had contact with were extremely helpful. We were looking for specific apparel and the first associate took us exactly to where we needed to go.
There are tons of options for both males & females and plenty of supply in all sizes. I was not in the market for a jersey, but if you are, you may enjoy the kiosk that will allow you to personalize your jersey with any name or number.
The entire store is easy to navigate and nicely decorated to fit the Knights theme. We purchased the #Vegasstrong shirts currently in stock and made it through the busy checkout line very quickly. All in all, if you are in town and specifically on the Strip, I would make a few minutes to check out the store's inventory. It felt like there was something for everyone.
Locals Tip: You may find other outlets not in the tourist corridor to find your VGK apparel and that's ok. However, if you do want to go to the Armory, I suggest combining a visit with another trip you are already down on the strip for. For us, we were down by Bellagio and simply took the free tram from there over to Monte Carlo. It was easy to get to and we avoided the mess that is parking by T-Mobile.
