Best of Las Vegas tip: Aisle after aisle of deals await bargain hunters

It's still cool enough for garage sales, but if you want to skip the driving and still get the bargain experience, follow our readers' recommendation and go to Fantastic Indoor Swap Meet.

Whether you're into t-shirts, luggage, purses, silk flowers, knives, cheap jewelry, art or you're just looking to replace that lost pet iguana, you'll find a wide selection as you wind your way through the human herd at the air conditioned bazaar.

Prefer a more authentic experience? Our pick in this category is Broadacres, in all its sun-drenched glory. Read Corey Levitan's account today for a look at all that the outdoor swap meet has to offer.

Another category in our annual Best of Las Vegas readers poll will get you a different kind of merchandise, but sometimes you'll find just what you need at a thrift store. Our readers pick? Savers, with locations across the valley. Goodwill got a mention, too. Our pick was New Vista Emporium Store, where the proceeds benefit the intellectually challenged.
