Viva Las Vintage

Forget spirit hoods, spandex dresses and urban kicks. The coolest lifestyle scene in Sin City is Vintage Vegas. Between the resurgence of downtown and the popularity of the Neon Museum, which houses old neon signs from now-extinct properties, Vegas is obsessed with vintage. Get the most out of it by shopping these vintage retailers:

Electric Lemonade Shop

Channel your inner Cher as you step into this 1-year-old boutique owned and managed by two sisters. Filled with vintage delights that range from music-festival-chic hippie dresses to disco era jumpsuits to authentic rock concert T-shirts, the boutique balances its vintage collection with doses of modern brands like Jen’s Pirate Booty and Lovers + Friends. But what makes Electric Lemonade a must-shop stop is the store’s ability to locate and carry rare deadstock items – pieces that were never sold, never owned and never worn, so they’re basically still new.

The Gypsy Den

Small in space, but big on style, the Gypsy Den is a pivotal part of the downtown Las Vegas art scene, often showcasing artists and musicians during the monthly First Friday events. Owner KT Cewe makes an impact with not only her eye for wearable vintage fashion but also by creating custom one-of-a-kind jewelry, headdresses and handbags to complement her selection.

Ooh La Vintage

The originator of the Patty’s Closet brand, now a nationwide chain of affordable fashion boutiques, Patty Barba expands her empire by adding a taste of vintage with Ooh La Vintage shop. More designer-influenced and trendier than other vintage stores, Ooh La’s pièce de résistance is its collection of upcycled vintage furniture, featuring many charming pieces that are refurbished and repainted to create unique looks you won’t find anywhere else.
