Its funny, but some places call them flea markets and some places call the swap meets. I have been to some of the "indoor swap meets" and the products are ok, but low in quality and some things seem to be poor knock offs. I only go because I like to buy these utility work shorts that are 100% cotton, so they are perfect for my outdoor type working conditions and still keep cool. I cant find those shorts anywhere but at Washington/Rancho.

There is a huge flea market on Las Vegas Blvd across from Poker Palace in North Las Vegas. It is open on the weekends.

Nothing that compares to the Orange County or LA Flea Markets, but Fantastic Indoor Flea Market (or Swap Meet) is on Decatur at Oakey. It's pretty good. We just spent a small fortune there yesterday. There are several like that around town where they took over closed big box stores' locations. Rancho & Washington, Flamingo and US 95 are a couple. I'm not sure but I think there is one at Sahara and Eastern, and Sahara and Boulder Hiway (E. Fremont). The one at Pecos and Las Vegas Boulevard North, is an outdoor market. You have to get there early to beat the heat. If you are selling, that's where you'd go. I think you can only enter off Pecos Rd.

Like mosquitoes, there aren't any fleas in Vegas. Too hot, too dry, not enough water. There's a new indoor swap meet up in Centennial Hills, behind the Carls Jr, on the SW side of Craig and Decatur. I've never been there, but I think that it's open most of the week.

the one at Boulder and Sahara, I think has closed a while ago...

i think you are thinking of the Q Mall at Trop and 95, I don't think there is one on Flamingo...

There is one at Charleston and Bruce (which is huge), which is near Eastern, one at Eastern/Bonanza, Eastern/Owens, and Civic Center/Lake Mead (also huge)...

Broadacres is the best on Pecos at LVBN...

i don't like the fantastic one because it is only open on the weekend and is the only indoor one that charges a fee to get in, the others are free and are usually only closed on tuesdays...

It would be interesting to find out what some of these indoor ones were...I know the one on Rancho is a former KMart, and I believe the one at Eastern/Bonanza is a former Smiths...

Those indoor swap meets..i went to one on Craig and can't remember the cross street..towards Rancho i think. Most things in there were overpriced.
i miss the old swap meets in calif from years ago. Everyone would just rent a space in the old drive-in, and you could get some great deals.
