Shops in Las Vegas

Hey all,

I will be going to LV in a week and was wondering if anyone knows or could recommend a cool music store ... not a GC type place but something with more of a booteek type offerings. Just something more then Marshall, Boogie, Fender, Boss ... etc.

Thanks.

By far Cowtown Guitars is the coolest store in Vegas for boutique gear. The owner is the lead guitar player for Bob Seger (he's on tour right now). Very cool shop.

Another +1 for Cowtown! GREAT guys! Tell Jesse Marko (from Toronto) says "hi!" when you go there please! They've got some great amps, pedals and mainly guitars there, and they let you play it all!

+1... While I was there I just went there just for the hell of it, and so that I could say that I've been to Ed Romans, but once I got in there was some dude at the door who asked me if he could help me literally the second I walked in. The entire time this dude kept watching me... Besides some nice guitars there aren't any nice amps or pedals or anything though.

I did business with AJ's once and NEVER again. Bought a Rivera r30 1x12. Had it for 1 week, and it was super noisy. He wouldn't fix it or take it back. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Cowtown is awesome, bought and sold many things there in my years in Las Vegas.

Not sure if it's still there, but I used to go to a store on the corner of Maryland and Tropicana by UNLV that sold VHT, Anderson, Matchless. It's been a few years though.
