Hobby Shops in Vegas?

[astronboy]

I will be in Vegas next week.

Are there any good hobby shops to visit that carry rockets?

Thanks in advance!!

Well, I don't know the area since I'm from Florida, but I did a hobbyshop search here https://www.hobbyretailer.com/ and came up with a few results. I know HobbyTownUSA sell rocketry products and they came up as one of the results. Also, you might want to try Emailing someone from https://www.tripolivegas.com/. I bet they know of the best spots. If I were you, I'd be sure to find out if there was a HobbyLobby nearby. That dang place seems to be giving away rockets. You might score some good deals there if they have a location nearby.

I'm positive someone here local to the area might respond.

So let me get this straight - you're going to be on vacation and you're gonna go rocketry shopping? I suppose I'd do the same if I were in another town!

Thanks Eugene,

I already checked on the Hobby Lobby link, and they are in NM, but not NV!! Darn!!

I also have a list that includes the local Hobby Towns, but they vary so much in what they carry, that I really wnated some 'ground intelligence'!!

Sooo, I fired off (launched!?!) an email to the pres, VP and Secretary of Triploi Las Vegas... thanks for the link!! That should do the trick!!

What's wrong with that? I'm going to Hawaii for Christmas and *I'm* going to be playing with rockets! (I know - Vegas is a "playing/gambling" state...) I plan on scouring whatever local hobbyshops are over there just to see if I can find me some good deals. There don't seem to be any rocketeers in Hawaii (as far as I know), so there might be some OOP stuff just sitting on shelves. And yes, rocketry does exist in Hawaii. I believe there's an NAR chapter over there.
