| - Its selection needs improving, but it's the only bookstore at Town Square so you have to make do.
Don't get me wrong, this Borders is new, clean and usually very lively. But if you're looking for a bookstore with a greater selection, try the Barnes & Noble on Stephanie near the galleria mall.
When it comes to bookstores in Las Vegas, your choices are almost strictly limited to Borders or Barnes & Noble. With all the suburban sprawl, new clean looking chain stores rule. This is far from a quaint college town with smaller, independent bookstores... so you'll have to accept it for what it is. This Borders opened up within the past year or two. It regular has visits and signings by authors, some of them more famous than others. A few pluses would be plenty of search stations to find books you want. Another is that there is a Seattle's Best Coffee Cafe inside the store. Also, there are frequent book drives to help out local schools and community organizations to help get kids reading. How can you possibly say no to that upon checkout?!
But the thing that only gets this place 3 stars is the limited selection. Especially when it comes to the two shelf film section. Oh but if you're into the "young adult teen vampire obsession" genre, there's plenty of that. So yeah, if you're looking for something well known and relatively new this place will do. If you're into something a little more obscure, or just want to browse, maybe not.
