Are you a fan of thrift shops, antique malls, farmers markets, and other such shenanigans? Good, because I'm pretty sure I found the best antique mall in Nevada! The incredible, 18,000-square-foot behemoth of a store is so much MORE than an antique mall, though, and you'll soon discover why — it's jam-packed with antique goodness, modern-day pop culture, and even educational classes! Come see for yourself exactly why Charleston Antique Mall is one of the coolest things to do in Las Vegas.
Open every single day from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., Charleston Antique Mall is an amazing way to kill a whole afternoon no matter what day of the week it is. It's home to more than 75 awesome dealers, all of whom have cool stuff up for grabs that is truly unique. After all, a lot of this stuff is no longer in production and hasn't been for a long time. You never know what you'll find: from knickknacks and rock collections to historic artifacts and memorabilia, military history, and just about everything else you can imagine, the only thing you'll need for this adventure is time. And do take your time; browsing the place aisle by aisle, section by section is strangely satisfying. Perhaps it's the feeling of having been thorough? Either way, I enjoy it — and there's plenty to be had within these walls.

My favorite booths and displays are the ones with old-school tech on 'em, like awesome vintage cameras from various points in history. The place isn't terribly far from the Vegas Strip, either, so if you're just visiting and you love a good antique shop be sure to come check Charleston Antique Mall out! It's a treat. On a mission? Looking for something? No problem — start your query here. Seeking out unique home decor? They've got it. Vintage jewelry and clothing? Yup. Records and CDs? Totally. Art? Absolutely.
Personally, I think the biggest draw to this place is more than just the items for sale; this epic antique mall offers all sorts of fun and educational classes one can sign up for to learn a little something-something. Class topics include vintage cameras, mining and ghost towns, vintage jewelry, and more. Best of all, it's all free, and who doesn't love free knowledge? I sure do, and since you're here, I assume you're at least a little like me. Come on out to Charleston Antique Mall in Las Vegas; it's easily one of the best antique malls in the United States, and for good reason — its treasures are one of a kind.
