| - The R+D Hipster Emporium... where to start ~ originally unoriginal. Walking in this place, it's clear they copped the sewing machine installation in the front of their store from Allsaints, and the overall look of the store from Urban Outfitters.
After living in LA for 10 years and seeing true hipster stores in Silverlake, Echo Park, and DTLA, it's hard to get that authentic "hipster" vibe in Vegas, but I can't blame the store for trying. It's like a watered-down, faux hipster store with trendy, crazily over-priced clothing and tsotchkes.
If you're looking for vintage-looking hipster clothing and have $130-$175 to spend on a pair of jeans with a brand name you and i have never heard of, then this is your jam. $80 for a ripped up sweatshirt, or are looking for a book called "The Big Butt Book 3D," this is your spot.
I'd still give it 3 stars... I mean, where else in Summerlin can you find a fart card game, kids clothes, over-priced boob books and trendy flannel shirts in one place? If you're in the area and want to visit this place for entertainment value, I'd recommend it. If you're in the area and looking for a ripped up sweater or a pair of faded, high waisted jeans; I'd recommend the Salvation army on Durango at Flamingo ~ They have a whole designer section and you can get those same looking jeans for $10 and save that cash for something that really matters... like food and alcohol ~ lol.
