Apple stores bound for casino resorts in Nevada, Connecticut
High rollers will soon find themselves with a host of Apple stores and resellers in Las Vegas and elsewhere to choose from when spending their winnings, say reports from observers.
The store will mark the third official Apple location in Las Vegas but will be the first in the gambling city to be located in one of the may resorts along the famed Las Vegas Strip. Both the previous Fashion Show and Town Square outlets have been located in traditional shopping malls.
The Mac maker's store would also be just its second to be situated on the grounds of a casino anywhere in the US. Despite Las Vegas' reputation, Apple has already experimented with such plans through its existing Atlantic City store, which is also attached to a Caesar's Palace casino.
Another Apple store may also appear in a casino outside of these two locations, according to some claims. An MGM Grand resort in Foxwoods, Connecticut has claimed that it will offer an Apple store in the location in approximately three months' time.
The authenticity of this claim is disputed, however. While MGM has since pulled its page for the future outlet and has said a third-party reseller would take the space, the site used official Apple graphics and language to describe the future location, including the mention of a Genius Bar for service.
Apple has not commented on the authenticity of the Foxwoods location.

I wonder will they have any kind of special return policy, you know, like if you suddenly decide your mac book isn't really you after all and maybe you'd like to get the cash back instead?
Or if maybe instead of a full refund you could leave it with the Apple Store and get just a partial refund or something, and you could return with the rest within a specified period if you decided to go ahead with the sale?
They could do that with secondhand stuff too.

I can hear it now at the Craps table... "C'mon, (as the dice are furiously shaken), Baby needs a new MacBook Pro! -
Europe, Australia, Asia.
Caesar's Palace in Vegas would be a good fit, I think, given the kind of stores that are there.

Makes sense. People make high-ned impulse buys when they start to win. I recall a story a few years back when a Ferrari deealership(?) was opened n Vegas.
