I’ll be in Las Vegas for launch day and am looking for some advice on which store to line up at for the best shot at a launch day PM in orange? I was leaning towards the Forum Shops. I didn't want to preorder since I'm on vacation.

I live in Vegas, welcome! I hope you have an amazing time.

Honestly I would just use the Apple Store app and see which configuration can get you same day pick up. You might have better luck on the strip with Caesars or Fashion Show Mall as the locals generally pick Town Square or Summerlin.

When you get in town, check with the store closest to you and ask if and when they start a queue for walk in purchases.

Edit: I just tried to buy via the app and it looks like the regular Pro in orange can be picked up on 9/20. Pro Max variant not showing any available pick up date.

Thanks! I figured Caesar’s is a good option; if I can’t get one waiting in line, I can turn it into an early morning adventure at the resort. I’ve noticed models starting to come available, so I’m hoping I’ll snag the config I want as Apple’s supply chain adjusts.

Yes I think you’ll definitely get some luck as the shipments go out and stores see what stock they have. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully you’ll hit a jackpot with your new phone! ;)
