North Las Vegas finally has a record store to call its own. Zia Records, the Arizona-born chain that has been part of the Las Vegas music scene for 21 years, has opened its third Las Vegas Valley location at 1366 W. Cheyenne Ave., near Martin Luther King Boulevard. The grand opening was set for Saturday, Nov. 14, at 10 a.m., kicking off an opening weekend of deals.
Key Takeaways
- Zia Records’ new store is at 1366 W. Cheyenne Ave., Suites 101–103, in North Las Vegas.
- It is Zia’s third store in the valley, joining locations in Las Vegas and Henderson, and its ninth across Arizona and Nevada.
- Opening weekend perks: 5% off and double rewards points, plus gifts for the first 100 people in line on opening day.
- The store sells records, CDs, movies, video games, books and collectibles, and buys pre-owned media for cash or store credit.
What’s inside
Like Zia’s other shops, the North Las Vegas store stocks new and used vinyl, CDs, movies, video games, books, pop-culture merchandise and collectibles. Customers can also sell or trade their own pre-owned media for store credit or cash. Zia said the first person in line on opening day would get a $1,000 shopping spree, and the first 100 in line would receive a special gift.
Zia marketing manager Christina Wilson said North Las Vegas has been “untapped territory” for the company and that a store there had been heavily requested for years. Chief operating officer Brett Zimmerman said the goal is to reach people who may not have had a record store close to them before.
The “Sphere effect”
In an interview with 8 News Now, Wilson also described what she called a “Sphere effect”: when an artist announces or plays a run at Sphere, Zia sees more interest in that artist’s records. She pointed to higher demand for Metallica and early interest in Pink and Rush.
A little history
Zia began in spring 1980 in Phoenix, when Brad Singer opened Zia Used Records and Incidentals. The chain now has nine stores in Arizona and Nevada plus an online shop.
What it means for locals and visitors
For North Las Vegas residents, crate digging no longer means a drive across the valley. Collectors and visitors who like hunting for vinyl while in town now have three Zia stops to choose from. Check ziarecords.com for store hours before you go.
