albert: you're more perceptive than i. i've eaten at the shalimar more than once but never saw the used lp store you discovered. if you're in the area of the sahara, which used to be the highend audio venue for ces, look for the holy cow brew pub-- good beer, copious helpings of food, including at breakfast, and great prices; it's not as pristine as the casino restaurants but is real "homey" and NOT A CHAIN OUTLET. BTW, if you've got the time and ain't a gambler, take a tour of the hoover dam, an amazing bit of engineering. -kelly
