I left feeling disheartened after a recent visit with my son as we prepared for his endowment and purchased temple garments and clothing. My son is a larger young man, and during our visit an employee said directly to me, "Oh yes, your son is the big man in the dressing room." I am very grateful that my son did not hear the comment. I understand that no offense may have been intended, but remarks about a person's size are inappropriate, especially in a setting where members are preparing to make sacred covenants. Members of every body shape and size wear temple garments and temple clothing. No one should feel singled out, labeled, or made self-conscious because of their body. I would also encourage greater attention to the availability of larger sizes. Accessing temple garments and clothing should be a simple and welcoming experience for every member. These items are sacred necessities, not optional purchases, and members should be able to obtain them with dignity and respect. I share this feedback because I believe the Church strives to make everyone feel welcome. I hope this experience can serve as a reminder that words matter and that all members, regardless of size, deserve kindness, sensitivity, and respect as they prepare for temple worship. read more

Deseret Book - Bookstores Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Love this place- it's just lovely! I can spend a couple hours here browsing its large selection. Staff is helpful and warm.

Wide selection of books to read. Staff was helpful and attentive. Store was well kept and clean.

I am disheartened. I recently lost my dad and was tasked to purchase his suit for his burial. When I arrived at Deseret Bookstore, I waited to speak to Brittany since she was the next available customer service rep. I explained the situation, and I was surprised that she didn't offer any empathy. I train Customer Service Reps at a call center to show empathy for lost and damaged items. I was surprised that she didn't even express empathy for the loss of my loved one. She was polite and helpful, but she may have had a long day. When she checked me out, I took my dad's clothes and started to walk away. She called out to me and said, "Have a nice day!" I replied, "Thanks. Gonna bury my dad." I was too upset and hurt to turn around. We lost the patriarch of our family, and I felt as if I was just another transaction on Wednesday evening. As members of the church, are we not to show love and compassion for those who are mourning? Maybe Deseret needs to re-train their employees and add compassion and empathy to their business model. read more

I've wanted to see inside this shop for a while now. My husband and I stopped in and were blown away by how beautiful and plentiful it is. Very clean and bright. Breath taking art work, tons of options for bibles and religious gifts. Staff was lovely and kind. Great literature options as well as video. Baptism and wedding dresses are beautiful as well as the jewelry available. We will definitely be back. read more

best place for wholesome books! my kids and I love going here. there's a feeling right when you wall in that is very peaceful and inviting.

This is a great store. The Manager and all the staff are very helpful and friendly. I love just spending time inside to peruse the shelves, it gives me such a peaceful and comforting feeling. read more

I always feel like family here. They are fabulous and go above and beyond to help in any way they can...truly wonderful people. Dora and Kim saved me and my mom with a last-minute challenge we needed to complete for the next day when they didn't have to help. They were amazing and saved us in a crunch...which, in turn, helped the kids and families we were working with at a school. I highly recommend Deseret to any and all. read more

It's sad to leave a bad review about this place but on multiple occasions I have bad experiences. It's mainly the employees, no one seems to know what they are doing. Today on a simple exchange on a few items cost around $50 the manager had to get involved and even she had a difficult time with the exchange. An exchange should not be so complicated that it takes 20 minutes. I think they need to start paying more competant employees a little more so they stay. For example Jody should get a bump in pay because since this place opened she is the only efficient employee I have come across. Thanks Jody and I hope you stay and can train the new employees. read more

Never had anything but good experiences here! A worker even told me about an upcoming sale before I made a purchase, so I'll be going back on that day to make the same purchase. Their artwork selection is beautiful too. I've shopped there many times and have always had good experiences! read more

The store is very clean and employees are kind. Sometimes you'll have to wait for a while before anyone help to cash you out, but that's mainly on days when they're extremely busy. read more

Just went in to get my niece a baptism gift. One of the employees was super helpful. Then my daughter went to look at CTR rings and another employee came up to me and told me that I wasn't allowed to have a backpack in the store and I had to leave it at the desk or take it outside. My black leather PURSE doubles as a backpack so my shoulder doesn't hurt as much. It's clearly my purse. Not a school backpack. She then explained they've had theft issues. Not very good customer service to approach a mom and tell her she can't have her purse and imply that she is going to shoplift. FYI it's pretty hard to put something in a bag that's completely out of arms reach behind me! read more

This is a wonderful stop. We are visiting from California. We don't have such wonderful stores. Everyone so helpful and shelves were so well stocked with so many wonderful things. Staff very knowledgeable and willing to answer any question. read more

I love this store, the merchandise is simple and elegant. The staff has always been kind, the store has the Holy Ghost peaceful spirit about it. Its clean and well stocked and there has always been someone to assist me immediately. I have never had a tough time to check out. Its not Barnes and Noble and its not supposed to be, its a church run religious bookstore. Check it out! read more

I have a had a few SNAGS with service but on the whole very pleasant and efficient. They are always willing to do what they can to help you and even told me where to look for a book that was back ordered and they didn't know when it would be available. I obtained the book and at a reduced price! I also love that you can sit and read and take time to select the proper book for you when several are available on the same subject. read more

I had a horrible experience here and wrote about it, but noticed today that MY PREVIOUS REVIEW HAD BEEN REMOVED. Anyway, in a nutshell, a very nice lady helped me select garments. I got to the register, provided my recommend, and the cashier refused to ring me up. She wanted to measure me at the register, in full view of a ton of other customers. Humiliating, right? She wouldn't ring up my purchase and made a comment about my body size, claiming that I needed a size 20+, when in reality I wear a size 12-14. She held up the measuring tape and said, "prove it." Deseret Book, instead of removing my honest review of my experience, perhaps train your employees to not be openly hostile. read more

This bookstore was okay. It was clean and neat, and when we went there weren't any other customers. So we got a lot of attention from the staff. They had a lot of cute things (a little over priced) but my only complaint is that it was hard to get around in my wheel chair. It's a big store. So, I don't understand why they can't make the isles bigger and easier for people who need it. There were a few places in the store I was not able too look at because I couldn't access it... Mainly the corner with all the art which is my favorite part. Other than that it was a peaceful place to shop. read more

I had a great experience here. The customer service was awesome, as I was helped to find everything I needed right away by someone who was very nice. Clean store. Things are organized well. read more

I give this location a FIVE STAR REVIEW because of Colette. She is seriously the most helpful and kind person. Very hospitable and attentive. I felt comfortable talking with her and she listened to my needs, which helped me find what I was looking for. read more

I frequent this store, & sometimes resist, because there are too many things to want from all the spiritual material in form of books, cd's, paintings to lots of fun things for baptism gifts, missionaries, etc. Actually would like to see more stuff missionaries could use. Enjoy/love the staff. read more
