One of the first things you gotta learn about Vegas is that all of the GOOD stuff is hidden in crappy strip malls. And I do mean strip mall in the traditional sense, not a mall on the Vegas strip. Zia is hidden off of Flamingo on Eastern in a strip mall and I've been on my way there and driven past and screamed "Dammit!!!" many times. ( I'm not sure what kind of sentence that was.)
So yes, Zia is a chain record store, but since the demise of Tower Records.......Zia has at least brought back to life a traditional sort of record store that we desperately need in the Valley.
They sell new and used. They have movies and video games too. Also a few racks of cool accessories. But my favorite is the event stage and their rockin' staff who has never left me in lurch when I needed help.
It's a great place to waste an hour or two looking for a cd that you've lent to an x and have missed for years. And really, who needs itunes? I wanna hold an album in my hands and hopefully find a nice fold out to hang next to my computer....as I dream about being a rock star.
