Any audio shops in Vegas that shouldn't be missed?


Hey all,

I'm off to Las Vegas for a week, playing in a hockey tournament there (believe it or not). Since a man can only gamble and drink to excess for 20 hours a day, any good audio stores that are worth dropping in for a listen?

I just got back last night from Vegas and their Yellow Pages proves unless you are into car audio it truly is a virtual wasteland for high-end audio.
I had a greate experience last Christmas at Premiere Home Entertainment, 2300 N. Rainbow (702)877-0222. They carry B&W and Audio Research so credentials in order and they couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful (even wrapped my DM303's for free!) (Warning: they put red pepper in the popcorn). Kim, the store's President, is a real Babe.
Viva Las Vegas!
The Upper Ear closed on June 1st 2000. Some of the people from there started a new store: Premiere Home Entertainment on Rainbow Ave. They are good folks and will treat you right.
Yes, I remember the Upper Ear. It was a sad day when they closed the doors. Like Driver stated above. I go to SoCal for most of what I can't get on the Net.

Such is life in front of the speakers!
The Upper Ear was bad experience for me. When I worked their they had a perverse distane for audiophiles, refering to them in a derogatory manner as "tweeks". I was the odd man out being the only real audiophile there.(I owned ARC gear at the time and had owned 3 pair of Magnepalnars)
They sold a very weird mix of stuff. Cheap Sony and Polk crap, Mark Levenson, Mac, Klipsch, Magnepan(which none of the other sales people seemed to like),Tandberg, B&W, Oracle. They had a system which consisted of Levenson class A ML 2's sitting on top of a pair of Big K horns fed by a Sony CDP 101 that they thought was real cool.It sounded dreadful!
You had to attend the Dale Carnagie sales training(brain washing)courses at your own expense.I sold the only pair of B&W 801's they had ever sold at the time. They had no idea how to make a TT sound worth a damn. They loved to put on a big Sigfried and Roy style show with all of their Hp test equiptment to set up a table but didn't even know what VTA was! . I got fired after voiceing the opinion that the Sony CDP 101 sounded like crap(seems they all bought one). I will not shead a tear for their demise!
