I am Yelping this place out of the sheer fact that the Vegas community needs some help as far as finding good services (which I'm sure there are, just not any reviewed so far on Yelp).
So our situation was that our supply of clean clothes were running out and we definitely needed to do a load of laundry. What's a beleaguered tourist/visitor to do? Pay outrageous laundry prices to the hotel we're staying at to do our laundry? NO. Find a laundromat to take our laundry to and wait 2-3 hours? NO. What we stumbled upon was a pretty good compromise . . . a "Wash & Fold" service. Basically what "Wash & Fold" service is you take your dirty clothes somewhere, drop them off, and they clean and fold them for you. It's like the perfect middle ground. So what does any good Yelper do when he or she needs to find a reliable place, we go to the community.
I did a search on Yelp but nothing really turned up, just stuff for dry cleaning and laundromats. No mention at all of "Wash & Fold." So we had to do a little online research as to where we could go for a good "Wash & Fold" service . . . which is how we came upon Wizard of Suds.
Located off the Strip, just past the Palms and next to a kart racing course, you can easily miss Wizard of Suds. It's actually a laundromat combined with a convenience store as you walk into one side, start your laundry, then walk to the other side and buy a drink, snacks, or magazine. From outside, and even inside, it looks a little ghetto and shabby. However, what they lack in looks, they make up in service.
Since it was the late afternoon, the "Wash & Fold" service section was closed, however there was a note on the door indicating if we wanted "Fluff and Fold" service to go to the convenience store register. Apparently the "Wash & Fold" area is staffed with 3-4 people during the day, but only one at night. Hence, more clothes get done during the day than at night. So the guy told us that they could take our clothes but that they wouldn't be ready till lunchtime the next day.
We were fine with this as we figured it was going to be next day service anyway. So we gave them our clothes and our contact info and information and they told us to come back the next day. How it works is that they charge you a per pound rate with a 10 lbs minimum. Sure enough when we returned the next day they had our clothes for us washed and folded. Total cost around $16. I'm not exactly sure how much clothes we had, but it was approximately 1.5 loads of clothing.
Nothing went wrong with our load, but that's not to say that things can't go wrong. When we returned to our hotel we checked our clothes and actually found that we had more clothes than what we dropped off. Apparently another t-shirt got mixed into our batch of clothes so someone in Vegas is missing their shirt. Whether it was a load mix up or perhaps just fell off another pile is hard to say, but I would recommend that you don't take in any vital articles of clothing if you elect to do this.
Overall though, I thought it was a great service, fast, pretty reliable, and fairly priced. Don't be deterred by the look of the store though.
