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?

My brother lives there & he sent me this answer:

Upper Ear 3900 W. Charleston at Valley View, In the NW corner. Just about the only true stereo shop in town that is not a chain. For a city this big with as much money that floats around here we don't have squat for high-end audio. Best of the chains is Ultimate Electronics. Most people here that are into audio go to LA to get it.
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!
