I've been to Ikea a handful of times since they opened and grew up with Ikea in N.Y. so I was so glad we finally got one in Vegas about 2 yrs ago.
I have found some really good pieces of furniture at Ikea like an adjustable standing desk, storage and shelving. I'll also sometimes pick up a plant since they are very affordable and easily sustainable.
I recommend doing all your measurements and have them with you as well as measuring tape so you don't have to guess especially with Ikea's refund policy. Don't pay a reboxing fee if you can plan your project.
I really like going to walk around and get ideas for home projects. I usually start by entering though the exit door and grabbing a frozen yogurt cone or drink to walk with unless I plan on grabbing a snack upstairs. I like their chicken fingers, Swedish meatballs and salmon dishes in the upstairs dining room and it's affordable for a simple meal.
On this trip, I bought a storage cube set called Kallax for $65 which is really nice and has drawer and door add on accessories. One of the pieces was damaged when I opened the box so I will go back to see if they will replace it after reading the damage replacement policy.
