Hey guys. I figured I'd post some shots of my new showroom in Las Vegas that me and my wife manage 3 days a week. We live about 3 hours south from Vegas, so we just make the drive once a week, and anyone in town here for fun is welcome to come stop by and say hi smile.gif

This is my family company that I've spent so much time involved in for the past couple years. When I'm not at the shop or working on FlyRyde in some other way, I'm here in LV holdin down the fort and working off the computer to take care of orders, arrange pickups from my suppliers, and doing my best to keep the shop managed from 300 miles away, lol.

Let me know what you think of our furniture and the showroom! Thanks guys,

-Chris

I like the card tables. Seems like more of furniture you would put in a game room or something along those lines

Very classy stuff
Like those card tables very much too!

But these things got sold by somewhat older people I suppose, right?

Is that like a dining room table with a card table underneath? Awesome idea for anyone that would hold poker nights on a regular basis.

That table, eight chairs, and optional table top retail at $14,455.00 Its a BAD ass table. All of our tables have a flip top with Dining on one side, and Poker on the other. I wish i had some of this furniture at my house. I have one table and our lowest model of chairs. This stuff sells to celebrities, high end furniture stores, gameroom and billiard stores, and some pretty wealthy people. I guess during market last week we did about 3 million in sales and commitments in 5 days. That's why I've been working so much with the company lately to get them prepared for the show, and set up the showroom and get all the furniture out here to Vegas safely. It all paid off last week. We had a bunch of people working the floor, and there were 30,000 dollar orders coming in left and right. I was SUPER proud to see my hard work pay off so damn well. We dont normally make 12-14 weeks of sales in 5 days.

From the looks of things, we'll have some pretty wealthy people come in here and pick 2 of these, and 4 of those, and so on. Friggin Carot Top stopped in last week and said he'd come back after the market was over because he liked our stuff so much. So hopefully that dude drops some cash in here. The main thing is that I get a nice comission on this stuff now that I'm running the showroom, so the couple grand I have left to refund people could dissappear in one designer walking through the door. The first day we were here this week, some lady came in, said she wanted a quote on 25 tables, 18 barstools, and 60 chairs. That's like 150,000 dollars retail, granted she gets a fat slice of that price off since she's a designer, that's an INSANE order if it goes through. I take 10% of what I bring in. So hello debt free Chris making widebody kits and building the baddest RD1 ever, hehe.

I'm studying interior decorating/design, I know how expensive this stuff can be. Looks like good quality furniture.

Believe it or not Carrot Top has a show in Vegas at the Luxor. He's all roided out now with veiny buff arms and hot biatches all over him? But I'm located one exit north of Sahara on the 15 freeway, which is Charleston East. You cant miss the building:





Its located in the World Market Center, which when completed will be over 2,000,000,000 sq. feet. Crazyness. The bottom 2 floors of the Market Center are called the LVDC, or Las Vegas Design Center. We're in building A, on the first floor, down the first hallway to the right. Space 132. We're basically right there when you walk in. I need to take some time to do some photography, since this building is absolutely gorgeous, with tons of unique and interesting architecture.
