I dont get the hype of this place especially when it first opened. When I found out people were excited this place was opening up and were still hyping it up after checking it out, I guess eventually I will get around to it. I just happen to be shopping at Whole Foods with the fam next door when I realized this was our chance to check it out.
First of all, I didnt set my expectations too high based on the excitement factor of others that have told me about it. Good thing I didnt because after my visit, I was still trying to figure out what all the excitement is about.
I will just come right out and say it. Its a mini me of an Ikea store. Pretty much the same things that you would find at the Swedish place but on a way smaller scale. I guess since there is no Ikea in Vegas, these guys are betting on the fact that people need a store like that so here they are.
After walking around through the whole store which didnt take much time, I really didnt see anything that peaked my interest and I am usually bad for buying things on impulse. On this occasion, I did not give anything I saw an extra second to think that I might really need it later on down the road sometime.
As for service, I dont recall anybody that worked there asked me if I needed anything or asked how I was doing. Maybe it was the sheer look of boredom that was written all over my face that they thought that I didnt need anything at all.
So, sorry to those guys that felt giddy about shopping here. I literally yawned about 10 times from the moment I stepped inside to walking out the front door. Good thing they dont sell any kind of bedding or I might still be there snoozing away. Also add the fact that they dont have a food court where I can have some meatballs or at least some cinnamon rolls to make my stay there actually worthwhile. Might as well have built this place next to the Downtown Container Park so that at least you can have some kind of theme going on. Who knows, you just might become a very popular multibillion dollar company like that one guy who started out with just a simple mouse...............
