When I was a mere lad, the summer of 63 to be exact my family and I took a trip to the Great Salt Lake...on the way back we stopped here in LV on a Sunday evening at the Hacienda Hotel. WHile we were taking the bags to the room a man with a5 Oclock shadow approached my Daddy and said that he has a 21 Jewel Self winding Longines watch that was worth $2100 and if my Daddy could give hime $200 for the watch as all the Vegas pawn shops were closed on Sunday. He had lost all his money gambling and needed gas money to get home. I looked at the guy and thought there is something wrong with this...my Dad offered him $2o for the watch which the guy accepted. On the way home the watch stopped and needed to be rewound. Upon returning home Daddy took the watch to a jeweler, who said that Longines nevr made a 21 jewel watch and di my Daddy buy it in Tijuna. My Daddy said, "No Las Vegas." The Jeweler said, "close enough." Thge upshot was that the watch was worth about $10 and got enough of use to be paid for.

However the moral of the story is that LV is a town full of Grifters and Thieves...this is one place where I don't TRUST ANYONE> especially on face value...now if I got nothing invested in that person, I will believe any story you wana tell me..cause it costs me nothin to believe ya.
