| - As much of the population of Las Vegas, I decided to go to Ikea on the first weekend it opened. BIG mistake. The parking is a complete disaster because of the amount of people going to the store. You have to wait in a huge line in your car to even get into the parking lot. Once you park, you have to walk about a mile to get into the store (which isn't the best idea when you buy the entire store, going in expecting just to buy a spoon).
Inside the store was complete chaos. It was worse than going to a theme park on the busiest day. The amount of people at the store was just crazy and, of course, no one is paying attention to where they are walking and decide to walk and stop in the middle of the aisle. Oh, and there was a HUGE line for...wait for it.....BALLOON ANIMALS....yeah I wish I was kidding. Not that I wanted a balloon animal, but the line was so long it was cutting into the walkways.
I would recommend waiting at least a month to come here until the hype is over. Trust me, you'll want to wait. Needless to say, I went to the nearest bar after coming here to get myself a drink after surviving.
Anyways, the items in the store, prices, and layout is great. I went in thinking I was going to buy only a coffee table and came out with a rug, sheets, and some kitchen items (not fun to take to my car that I parked ten thousand miles away). The prices are ridiculous (in a good way) for what you are getting, which Ikea is known for. Was it worth the chaos? Maybe. Will I be going again? Absolutely. Will it be soon? Hell to the no.
