I don't care what the occasion is - SUIT UP, MEN, SUIT UP!
Whether you need a suit for a formal or casual occasion, they've got you covered. Ranging from classic to modern styles, you'll never look at suiting the same again once you've gone with Italian-made suits.
My boyfriend needed a suit (he's never had one before and wanted one just in case), so we stopped by. I've only been to the EA location in Caesar's Palace's Forum Shops in Las Vegas, so I was a bit surprised that they had an EA here, as Armani boutiques are few and far between.
Abe helped my boyfriend try on various suits in different fabrics and styles. He was very friendly and helpful by showing my boyfriend how suits should fit look. He even admitted to us that customers are often intimidated by Armani and thus overlook their boutique. However, their suits are nicely tailored and he assured us that there is no pressure to buy, but that when it comes to suiting, fabric and fit is very important. Abe is very down to earth, and he understands how important it is that a customer feels comfortable when trying and/or purchasing clothing. I can tell right off the bat that the employees here are not snobby/snooty at all.
Ken provided further assistance, as he brought over 10+ suits for my boyfriend to try on. After three different styles in multiple fabrics, we all settled on a suit of the David line. And guess what? The suit was 40% off! From my past experience, most retail stores will try to sell you full-priced items, or ignore you if you're buying clearance or sale merchandise. Half of the suits that were brought to us were on a 40% off promotion! One of Armani's personal tailors, Sonny (?), tailored the suit to my boyfriend's body. Sonny is a bit old-fashioned in terms of tailoring, so Ken helped persuade him to fit the suit to our liking. The final fit of the suit was impeccable, where we couldn't even figure out how and where the suit was tailored! Custom fit indeed, I must say. Ken is definitely the most professional out of all the sales associates I've seen here.
As for me, Yoshi told me that Armani specializes in men's suiting, so there are limited styles for women. We discussed my difficulties in clothing over glasses of sparkling mineral water; I'm petite, so I often have to tailor multiple garments, regardless of whether they're casual or business styles. Her personality is quirky and very forgiving while I vented out my frustrations, as it is quite difficult for me to find the perfect fit. Despite being the quirky one out of the bunch, she can easily tell what size you are just by looking at you! She knew right off the bat what size my other friend is in their suits. Even the women at Victoria's Secret can't guess my bra size when I'm wearing a fitted shirt! Talk about knowledgeable!
The sales associates here more than welcome to help you find a suit within your budget, as long as your budget isn't ridiculously low since Armani is an Italian designer brand. We spent $1000 (including tailoring costs) for a designer suit that trumps the likes of Hugo Boss and Theory. Once you go Armani, you can never go back to non-Italian-made suiting... They'll be hearing back from me real soon!
