| - In the best crate-digging tradition, Record City is an old, converted house that's filled to the gills with vinyl - Lps, picture discs, 45s, what have you, both new and used.
I've been collecting for a very long time, and I love this place for a couple of reasons. First: quality. It's superb. Most vinyl is in near-perfect shape. If it's not, it's there because it's rare (like that Whispers Lp on Soul Clock that I found during my last visit). Second, selection: although the bulk of their vinyl is rock and R&B, there are smaller but respectable collections of jazz, country and classical.
Cool thing about record shopping in Vegas is that so many people come through there from all over. This makes for a lot of inventory change, all the time. And that's very cool. Unlike other local stores like Zia, you will come out of here with an armload rather than one or two Lps.
Note that they close at 5PM and are NOT open on Sundays, so plan accordingly. Last time I was here, I came up with a half-dozen sealed early 70s Motown titles, a couple of hard to find Quads that i'd been searching for, and a ton of other cool goodies. Definitely worth the visit if you're in Sin City, with a better chance of a "win" than any casino you might drop cash at ;)
