Only in Vegas can you pick up your luggage from the carousel then walk a couple of feet to a liquor store. That is what I did after picking up my luggage following hours on the airplane and in airports. It was very late at night, and I was not up to stopping at a 7-Eleven for the 24-ounce Michelob to enjoy in my apartment. Liquor Library couldn't be more convenient.
Now let's talk about outrageous prices. The $5 price they charge for a 24 -ounce beer makes 7-Eleven seem like Walmart. The same beer is usually $2 at a convenience store. I cannot really fault Liquor Library for their sky high price. It shares a terminal where the majority of businesses are off the charts expensive. For example at the Wendy's, a value meal averages around $12. Looking at it from the business's perspective, they are most likely paying exorbitant rent and taxes for the prime location of selling liquor next to the baggage carousels. More than anything I appreciated the convenience of buying my first 24 ounce beer after returning to Las Vegas soil and having had only a couple beers the past week when I was in Washington DC. It was $5 on a can of beer that was well spent.
