When it comes to antiques and collectibles, Las Vegas is rich in quantity and quality. Although many stores have dropped off in recent years, you owe it to yourself to go to the heart of what was “antique row” on Third Street and Western Avenue (both off of East Charleston Boulevard, just seconds east of the US Highway 15). Due to affordable space and availability, Las Vegas has the fortunate luck of having a few behemoth antique and collectible warehouse and retail centers. Here are a few tried and true. – Marco Medrano

Not sure what to get that special someone? Antiquities is not only a very special antique and collectible store, it has literally hundreds of signed, registered, certified and documented memorabilia to choose from. Antiquities was handpicked by the owners of The Forum Shops (one of America’s richest malls). When was the last time you saw a life-size statue of Batman or a vintage tuck-and-roll barber chair in mint condition? Trying to find that “Raiders of The Lost Ark” movie poster (signed by Harrison Ford), or “The Spy Who Shagged Me” photos (signed by Mike Myers)? Well, there is plenty of that caliber here. How about Abraham Lincoln or Al Capone? Antiquities has it. Service is at the peak of professionalism here.

However, it’s an effective way of seeing how a special antique might fit in with your more modern collection or vice-versa.
