I believe this place clearly discourages from people coming here just to hangout & study in the cafe area because 1.) UNLV is close to this store, why not go study in the freakin' library there? & 2.) There's also a public library down the street that has TONS of tables, plugs, & fast wifi you can study at! So I can understand why they originally designed it as a place to sit for a minimal time with your laptop to surf, but besides that fact, this place has a pretty damn big audio/dvd section to it. Not to mention there is a great variety of books here, more so than what I found at Borders. A great local place in the neighborhood to catch up on a brief read, & even enjoy some tea & internet in the cafe for a little bit. This place is actually quiet & never crowded despite the location its in, so it's tolerable.
