Two employees saw me struggling, and both looked away. Two stars for being a cool-looking place, but zero stars for the cold employees, especially the redhead who obviously got up on the wrong side of the bed that day. Unluckily for me, she was who "assisted" me at the counter. Odd policies in place, but it's their right. Something felt off from the beginning, so I left. Another reminder to trust your gut.

AWSOME place. Had the original Metal Blade Record shirt and hat. Found a couple band T's as wellread more

If you're a heavy metal fan, you've heard of Metal Blade Records. It was one of the first labels…read morethat truly catered to this genre of music, featuring many of the best in the industry. When I heard Metal Blade founder/CEO Brian Slagel had moved to Vegas and opened a booth in the Antique Mall of America, I knew it was a place I wanted to check out. I've been a handful of times in recent years. The Antique Mall of America is HUGE, so just finding this place is a bit of a chore; it doesn't help that the outdoor strip mall where the facility is located is largely abandoned. Once you get inside there are a ton of vendors and twists and turns, but believe me, if you're a metal fan like I am, it's worth looking for. The Metal Blade store is technically THREE different kiosks in the mall. The two main ones are adjacent from one another, with one being mostly shirts/clothing, and the other being mainly CDs and vinyl releases. A third booth (located in a different part of the mall) mostly consists of hockey jerseys/related clothing/etc. While I'm admittedly not a sports fan, it was cool to see that the latter kiosk wasn't just limited to Golden Knights stuff. A divers selection is always a good thing. Those two main booths I mentioned before are where I spent most of my time. The shirts and such are offered for fair prices which is a nice change from the overpriced swag sold at concerts. And the vinyl and CD selection is nice too, including many vinyl LPs newly reissued by Metal Blade, not to mention a nice grab bag of assorted CDs. I walked away with two T-shirts and a 2CD Deep Purple set that was fairly cheap. The only issues I really have with this shop stem from the space, or rather, a lack thereof. Having booths in an antique mall isn't the same as having a standalone store, hence the lack of space and merch. I'm hoping Mr. Slagel can give us an independent store one way, possibly as part of the Metal Blade Museum that should be opening here in Vegas soon. Metal fans shouldn't hesitate to check Slagel's wares here out. It's a little tricky to find and on the small side, but worth it.

If you're looking for a basic record store you might as well go somewhere else. This is not your…read moreaverage run of the mill record store intended for the occasional collector. This place is something special, something unique. A once in a lifetime experience for the true vinyl collecting junky. I had the pleasure of visiting wax trax while on a work trip a week ago. Before coming in I did my research. I read all the bad reviews about how they don't price their inventory, how the owner is rude, blah blah blah. Those only made me more curious. Upon arrival I was immediately greeted and asked what I'm looking for. I told the owner my genre preference and they without hesitation showed me all the sections so I could start digging. Spent 2 hours searching on my hands a knees through row after row of 45s/ 12". Till eventually I landed on a rare banger that I myself have never even heard of and according to Discogs only 9 people own. This is something that doesn't happen so often when digging for me anymore. Right then and there I knew this place was something special. A true treasure trove of vinyl. The owner was even fair with his pricing. Overall this is a business that will never come around again and if you don't appreciate it while it's here then you will only miss it when it's gone. 10 out of 10 will be back again

I read couple…read moremixed reviews on prices and service and I have to say I thought most of the prices were inline and the staff was incredibly friendly! I found one of my "grail" albums there and spent 30 plus minutes chatting with staff. I feel bad I didn't get names but everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. They have the mot organized system of used media that I have ever seen. I can see stopping by regularly to sift through their inventory. I give this place a solid 5 stars and plan on making this a regular stop when I'm in the area!

Almost like shopping online but instant gratification with some sale items, no shipping, and best of all, no waiting. Pretty constant flow of customers, and most left with something including their happy smiling faces. Sort of an obscure location at the far end of a generic strip mall off Spring Mountain. But worth the drive. My daughter went in with a list of 10 items, found 9 of the items, and picked up a couple of extra things not on her list (irresistible sales up to 50% off!).

Good morning ARMY! Are you concert ready?…read more So whenever I travel I like to visit local K-Pop stores. On one particular trip to Vegas we rented a car since we were doing a lot of things off The Strip in Spring Valley. Parking was free. They had a good selection of K-Pop merch even more so than the K-Pop stores up here in Seattle. If you're traveling to Vegas make sure you have enough room in your luggage for merch. Also make sure you bring bubble wrap and sheet protectors. You don't want any magazine pages getting torn or mementos getting distorted, smashed, or cracked on your flight or car ride back home. The store will probably be busy right now because of BTS' world tour so if you're the type of shopper who doesn't like waiting in lines or needs breathing room to browse maybe you'll have to visit the store at opening or you may need to visit Vegas again when there isn't a major K-Pop event. Anyway, happy shopping :)
