| - How I spent my Christmas vacation...
One of my friends was in from Shanghai, and the friend that tagged along from Taiwan wanted to come here. We had limited time before our seating at a "nice" French restaurant at one of the "top-name" casinos. So, it was decided, (Not by me, I got wrangled into driving to Vegas!) that this was going to be a quick trip (About 3-4 hours) in the Outlet stores.
Well, her friend from Taipei made a beeline to the Ferragamo Outlet! I heard my friend spent some time in there but wandered to other stores. And she had lost track of the Taiwan friend (BTW, they are both Taiwanese), and she wasn't picking up her cell! So, she enlisted me in the search! Mind you it had been a good 2- 2 1/2 hours that has transpired.
I was searching in the Food Courts, and all the luxury outlets without avail.. Finally, as a last resort, I ended up at Ferragamo, but, there was NO way she could even be there! Lo, and behold, she was! Dang! I guess, she was giving the business to the salesperson. She was still busy deciding on what to get! Shoes, bags, skirts, etc...
Finally, my friend from Shanghai arrived to give her a little nudge. So, she finally finalized all her purchases. As she was paying, we started to realize, her credit cards were not going through for some reason... ooohhh, man, we were already a bit late, and had kept calling the restaurant to preserve out reservations..
It became evident that her credit cards were not going to make it, so, I volunteered my cards... Oh! man did they get a work-out! We had about 4-5 bags of Heavy Ferragamo Bags! So, both my card got a work-out and so did we walking back to the Parking structure!
The sales staff were extremely supportive and knowledgeable of the "ins and outs" of the art of the transactions. Service was nothing short of spectacular!
BTW, we never made the reservation.. But, I had a full trunk and back seat of Designer goods... But, my friends both were rather pleased with their immense purchases...
