Record Stores in Las Vegas 2026: Where to Buy and Sell Vinyl

Las Vegas has fewer record stores than a city its size might suggest, and several that older guides recommended have closed or gone quiet online. The reliable choice is Zia Records, a Southwest chain with two big stores in town that buy, sell and trade new and used vinyl. Barnes & Noble stocks new records at three of its local stores, and the rest is crate-digging in thrift and antique shops.

We checked each store below against its own website in September 2026. Hours change, so check before you go, and remember that none of these is on the Strip: plan on a car or rideshare.

Zia Records

Zia Records is a Southwest chain of music and media stores that sells new and pre-owned vinyl, CDs and more, and buys, sells and trades through its "$ell Your Stuff" programme. It has two full stores in Las Vegas, both open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with trade counters open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.:

Store	Address	Phone
Eastern	7380 S Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89123	(702) 735-4942
Rainbow	1216 S Rainbow Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89146	(702) 233-4942

Zia also lists a Cheyenne store in North Las Vegas, but without an address or hours on its locations page, so call before heading there. Older guides give different addresses for Zia (on Sahara, and further north on Eastern); use the ones above.

Tip: the used bins turn over as people trade in collections, so a second visit during your trip can turn up different records. Bring records to trade before 9 p.m.

Barnes & Noble

For new pressings and reissues of popular albums, three Barnes & Noble stores list vinyl among their features: Town Square (6671 S Las Vegas Blvd, Suite A-129), Crossroads Commons (8915 W Charleston Blvd) and Henderson (567 N Stephanie St). Town Square, at the south end of the Strip, is the closest to the resorts. It is a mainstream selection rather than a collector's store. See our bookstores guide for the full list of stores.

Crate-Digging: Thrift, Antique and Pawn Shops

If you enjoy the hunt, Las Vegas's thrift, antique and pawn shops are worth a look. Stock is unpredictable, but the city's entertainment history means lounge, soundtrack and showroom records do turn up.

Thrift stores: chains and charity shops across the valley have record bins; donations arrive daily, so go early.
Antique and vintage shops in the Arts District, around Main Street and Charleston Boulevard, often have a crate or two, and you can combine the trip with galleries and cafés. See our Arts District and street art guide.
Pawn shops sometimes carry records and turntables; see our pawn shops guide.

Buying Tips

Check the vinyl under good light for scratches and warps, and look at the label and runout for the pressing if originals matter to you.
Ask the store to play a record before you pay a collector's price.
Selling? Clean records in good sleeves get better offers. Call ahead if you're bringing a large collection.
Flying home: carry records in your hand luggage flat in a sturdy bag or record mailer, and keep them out of a hot car; heat warps vinyl quickly in Las Vegas.

Record Store Day

Record Store Day, when independent shops sell limited releases, is usually held on a Saturday in April, with a smaller Black Friday event in November. Participating stores and dates are posted on the official Record Store Day website; check it for the next event and whether Zia's Las Vegas stores are taking part. On the day, expect queues before opening and limits on how many copies of each release you can buy.
