Assistance League of Las Vegas

Meh. We mainly look at thrift shops for furniture and not clothes and they don’t have much furniture or housewares here. What they do have a lot of though is clothes. Real vintage clothes. The kind of clothes that people who like to wear ugly «ironic» stuff would like.
If you want regular, normal people used clothes, they have great prices on jeans, shorts, blouses, etc for one flat price. I think jeans were $ 5 for example. But «designer» is marked up much more, and they use the term designer loosely. Like how Ross thinks they sell designer clothes.
I don’t like how they write with a marker on their housewares. And they price them a bit high.
Though the ladies working there seemed to be friendly to others, no one seemed to notice us.

The west side has so many thrift stores! This one is run by volunteers, stocked via donations, and uses it’s profits to support the local community. Always nice to hear.
Selection is heavy on clothing, even including a small rack of name brands and special-​occasion dresses, but they have TONS of shoes. They also have some higher-​priced collectible type items, with evaluation paperwork, with their home goods section. And I’m always happy to see a thriving book department!
One thing I dislike here is that many of the non-​clothing items have prices penned on in marker– dishes, vases, appliances, etc. Not sure what kind of marker is used or how well it erases, but it kept me from purchasing a vintage cookie jar, because the placement of the writing was not discrete.

I’ve been here several times and MOST of the elderly ladies (there are a couple of nice ones) that volunteer here are rude. :(The Assistance League of Las Vegas do lots of good for the Vegas community and you would think that the ladies that represent them would be kind like the organization.
Prices are a bit high (like retail) but there are bargins to be found. Store is clean & organized.

I thought this place was amazing when My mom and first went there. It is a very nice store. I love that they give to back to the children of Vegas, with all earnings.
The store is way overpriced, yet I continue to buy almost every other day. Many of the ladies who work behind the counter are rude. I always smile and try to comment happy things, sometimes people just have bad days. When this behavior is repeated day in and day out, it is time to find the other perfice thrift shop.
Also it might be a good idea not to mention if you can pay $ 30.00 for a coat they are asking $ 35.00 for, even though the coat cost $
35.00 online new.
Have a happy day. Always smile, life is to short not to be happy. Find another shop to shop…

Assistance may do wonderful things for the community, but their Thrift store is not a great place to shop for bargains.
The Good: The store is well organized and clean. Its easy to look through the merchandise and the store has amble parking and easy to find. Very little furniture and some bric-​à-​brac
The Bad: The merchandise is overpriced. Shoes are $ 10 – 15. Better brands go higher. They really separate merch by brands and price accordingly. If you are looking for a deal on anything designer, then be prepared to pay. I dont have an issue with this, since they have to make money, but $ 20 for a men’s dress shirt? And some of the stuff they price «designer» is not (Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein, Reaction and RL) I see this stuff all over Goodwill and Salvation Army priced for much much less. I’d be willing to buy some of the stuff I saw, but not at the price they were marked. I saw lots of pretty nice designer stuff priced between $ 50 – 100. Maybe a deal to some, but I kept wishing if I saw this stuff at Savers or Goodwill, so it would be a lot less.
The Ugly: The woman I encountered behind the counter was rude. I asked if there are any specials and she clearly shot me a stink eye.
I thought: Hey Lady! News flash: All other thrift stores have daily specials. If your lame ass thrift store doesn’t, its ok, just say so. No need to take offensive.
She finally said «Everything is special here» with an attitude.
I stared at her and said «Of course it is. You are special too» and walked off.
In short, I would not go out of my way to shop here. If in the area and you have never stopped by, you were bored and wanted to spend more then you should, then buy all means stop by.

I’ve volunteered here a number of times with my school organization. It is a thrift shop where its proceeds go to buying supplies and new clothes for needy children.
During Operation School Bell, I help children pick out new clothes, shoes, and books, and also give them a bag full of hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, etc. It’s a great feeling to see how happy the kids are trying out their new clothes. A lot of the children I’ve talked to tell me that the clothes and shoes they are wearing are what they’ve gotten last year and they’re excited to have something new.
After shopping, they get to go to another room where they play games, do puzzles, read, color, and eat.
It’s a great atmosphere to volunteer at and they have a lot of things on sale to help benefit their program.

A wonderful organization, one of approximately 120 chapters nationwide.
Consists of volunteers only, who run a fabulous Thrift Shop and whose primary philanthropy is to provide new clothing including shoes, jackets and health kids to needy children sent to us by the Clark County school district, through a program by the name of Operation School Bell. Last year we dressed over 8,000 kids. We also have several other programs that benefit the Las Vegas community. A proud member.
