Las Vegas Mixtape v14: Culinary Burlesque, Aisles of Treasures, and the Right To Rock — Track #3: Charleston Antique Mall @Charleston Heights

Track #3: Charleston Antique Mall @Charleston Heights

When you want to get out of your head for a few hours, wandering around Charleston Antique Mall on S. Decatur Blvd is a good choice. Plus, you might even feel the presence of some ghosts hanging around—the ones who didn’t want to part with their earthly belongings.

Inside the mall’s 18,000 square feet, 75 price-friendly dealers operate booths filled with antique jewelry, vintage clothing, hats, and bags, along with yesterday’s home furnishings, houseware, and more. On the day I was there, I spotted a life-size Elvis statue for $1,500, proving that the man never really “left the building.” I happily left the mall with two mint-condition blazers from the ‘70s.

The aisles here are comfortably wide, and the booths are not overly stuffed with merchandise. The roaming staff is accommodating, which is essential since most dealers are not stationed at their booths. 

The mall’s history stretches back to 1987 and has been in this location since 2006. To satisfy vintage-aholics, it’s open seven days a week from 10 AM to 6 PM, and there’s endless free parking.
