Vegas guitar shopping is two cities: pawn-shop row (yes, the famous one — real gear does surface, haggle accordingly) and the locals' shops in the suburbs doing setups for working musicians who play six nights a week. More gear churns through this town than anywhere its size — patience and repeat visits win.

This is just a piece of my last score at Zia Records. We got $360 in store credit or $250 in cash. You also earn rewards points on trades as well as purchases. Points are simple, 1 point for every $1 bought, sold, or traded, you get a point.
This place is very cool. Found a lot of stuff that is hard to find anymore. From posters to socks, candy, movies, albums, collectables, games, video games, etc. The staff was really nice too.
First, this Guitar Center is incredibly impressive with the vast selection of nearly everything, and the ability to test out just about anything too. My teen and I just stopped in to check out the store but then remembered that we were in need of an adapter.
