| - FINALLY.
Las Vegas is the perfect location for an Ikea. It seems like around every corner they are building new homes or apartments and it seems like everyone and their mom is moving to Vegas, so this is a winning combination.
When I moved from LA, I filled up my SUV with a bed frame, a mattress, a sofa, a dresser, a tv stand, a computer chair, and a desk and drove it all the way to Vegas. Then every few months I would drive back just so I can make a run to Ikea. Now, I can just drive down the street and voila! I can get my Ikea on without driving past state line.
This Ikea is no different than any other Ikea. The layout is virtually the same. You take a magical escalator to the labyrinth of show rooms. The food court is in there somewhere if you can find it. There is childcare on the bottom floor for your convenience. The self serve area to pick up all of your boxes is on the bottom floor. At the exit of the store, there is also a little market where you can buy all the frozen meatballs your tummy desires, as well as trays of fresh cinnamon rolls. Mmm!
I have heard some people complain that Ikea is cheap and unreliable furniture. Well, I think that is up for debate. Growing up, my family preferred fancy furniture from department stores because of the quality. Let's be honest, all of that department store furniture is clunky and outrageously expensive. My Ikea furniture that I have purchased has survived many years and still looks great! I like my furniture modern and simple, not intricate and overdone. You will not find Game of Thrones-esque furniture here.
On this trip alone, I bought a dresser, some cool light bulbs for decor lighting, and a couple of floating shelves, and a patio set for the balcony. It was all easy to install, even though I forgot to pick up the screws for the shelves, doh! Nothing a quick run to home depot can't fix.
Oh, and as teacher this place is heaven! There are so many things that I know that I will be back for before the school year starts. There are $5 stools that are perfect for my reading table! Cute decorations that I can use for my library and reading nook. Love their storage ideas and $20 art easels. Ikea, just take all my money now!
For the price and the style, you cannot go wrong with having a few simple pieces from Ikea. Even when you lose a screw or can't find a part, their customer service is friendly and convenient.
