Each store, which range in size from 50,000 to 180,000 square feet, decorates the aisles with its own unique theme--from Alice in Wonderland to Atlantis--making every shopping trip a fun experience.

I had to think very carefully before awarding this viper pit of commerce a one-star rating, and only because there simply is no alternative in Las Vegas now that CompUSA is no more. Otherwise, they merit no stars. Selection on the web is virtually unlimited, and often at a better price, but nothing can beat a brick-and-mortar experience, particularly if some critical computer component has just failed and you need it NOW. That said, your shopping experience at this establishment will frequently be so distasteful that you may well determine that a 24 to 72 hour delay in product procurement is preferable. I WANTED to like this store. Hailing originally from San Francisco, I had a good experience with Fry's computer store on the Peninsula. Fry's "Las Vegas Experience," however, was akin to Star Trek transporter accident, landing you in the evil Mirror Universe, where good is bad, up is down, and most people are just generally nasty because they like being so. SciFi allusions aside, the Vegas Fry's does everything wrong, particularly in customer service (with the general exception of the cashiers who try hard to be pleasant and helpful - but hey, the salesman, technical staff and managers have even more contempt for them than the customer). The only good thing you can say for this store is its extraordinarily diverse assemblage of product - every other aspect of your shopping experience will range from minimally irritating to the downright repugnant, particularly dealings with technical support drones and mid to upper level management hacks, all of whom have worked hard to polish the fine art of dissembling. One would think the company trains its employees to lie, cheat or steal in order to close the sale. I know because they tried to cheat me twice in the last month through false advertising and outright lies on the part of the sales staff. If you absolutely don't need it today, go to a competitor (Circuit City or Best Buy) or buy online. CAVEAT EMPTOR!

Fry's Electronics is the largest electronics store I've ever been in. That also means they have a huge selection of items to choose from and there are some pretty good deals to be had. The cons of Fry's are the long lines of customers that wait to checkout. Unfortunately, I don't recommend a shopping visit around the holidays.
