| - With the Green Valley Hobbytown being bought out by an independent, downtown Henderson hobby store, this is the national chain's only store left in the Vegas Valley. It's a long commute to get to, but once you're in there, you won't want to get out.
This is everything a hobby store should be. Plastic model kits, display models, die-cast vehicles, miniatures/tabletop games, rockets, RC Vehicles, it's all here. This place has the best selection of all of the above, as well. No matter what your hobby is, you'll find it here in mass quantities. Additionally, they have a shelf of clearance books, which is nice.
I haven't dealt with the staff a whole lot (aside from when I am purchasing things), but they seem to be helpful and have never been standoffish, even when I simply come in the store to browse.
The store is fairly large, but easy to navigate, with each row generally relegated to one type of item (a row for plastic kits, a row for rockets, etc.)
My only real complaints are the location and the parking. This is in a fairly big shopping center and usually the lot is a bit congested. Also, it is far enough from any freeways that getting there, particularly in rush hour, can be a nightmare.
But I can't let the minor flaws pull this place down. This is the premier hobby store of Las Vegas, and it's worth the trip.
