Holiday Shopping in Las Vegas: Local Artists
After spending an evening at Las Vegas’ First Friday, an arts and entertainment festival that takes place the first Friday of every month, I realized what a great holiday gift shopportunity First Friday is. This was the last First Friday before the holidays, but there’s still opportunity to find special and artistic gifts by shopping directly from local Las Vegas artists. Here are some suggestions:
- Zen Fish Shoe Painting – Artist Steven McRae specializes in turning an ordinary pair of canvas shoes into something extraordinary. You can even give him a pair of your shoes and he’ll customize a design just for you. Contact him at 702-379-9492 or steventhefilmdude@yahoo.com.
- Art from Francois Dubeau – While Mr. Dubeau is actually from Montreal, his seductive pieces can be purchased through local art gallery Laura Henkel Fine Art at The Arts Factory. 702-952-9656 or www.laurahenkel.com.
- Pretty accessories from My Collette – Gorgeous, on-trend hair accessories and jewelry. Contact the artist directly and have a piece customized to suit your taste. 702-813-9308 or mycolletteaccessories@yahoo.com.

ModernLV Brings IKEA to Las Vegas
Go Shop Vegas has devastating news for you Las Vegas shoppers. Ready? There is no IKEA in Vegas. (Cue the dramatic music.)
But, now here’s the good news. Thanks to the innovative minds of a local Las Vegas couple who saw the need for IKEA goodness in Sin City and found a way to make it happen, Vegas shoppers can at last have IKEA furniture, home accessories and so much more from the shelves of this popular functional and affordable home store. You may be thinking, “Big deal. IKEA’s online. I can just order that way.” Well, good luck with that. Whether ordering online or over the phone, you’ll find that many of the items on your IKEA wish list are not available for online ordering or by phone. Just try adding your coveted IKEA products into a shopping cart while online with IKEA.com, and check for yourself.
