Vegas is now on the map for weed tourism in addition to the rest of the glitz and glam appeal that is already affiliated with Sin City. Located not far off the strip, Reef Dispensaries has all the trimmings to attract out of staters to their probable first legal marijuana purchase but is inferior to its more inland counterparts who service locals aka 'repeat visitors'. Here they are:
1. Long lines. They're efficient but very busy. You have to wait in line just to advance to the next wave of lines, managed by a mack daddy bouncer.
2. Poor variety. Only one indica cartridge option on the menu at the time I was there. I ended up having to go to another dispensary just to fulfill my quarterly run quota.
3. No freebies for first-time customers.
4. Prices are much higher than competitors. Because... strip.
5. They charged me for a carry-out bag I didn't even request. And they didn't tell me. I realized it when I looked at the receipt later that night. WTF?
The Positives:
1. Open 24/7.
2. Flower is on display with smellguards and magnifying glass so you can smell it and examine it before you purchase.
3. If you already know exactly what you want, you can skip the showroom lines and head straight to the cashier lines after they've checked your ID.
4. Speaking of IDs, there is no time consuming questionnaire to fill out or any number of questions from staff before they let you in. Scan and go.
