Coffee/Breakfast for the dark souls:
Dark Moon Coffee Roasters
@alexdeanmedia
This one is pretty substantially off strip. Unless you're already in the area, I'd probably opt for Nightmare Cafe instead!
Details
Shop Local:
Halloween Emporium and Haunted Tea Room
@alexdeanmedia
While this is also a tea room, I decided to include it in shops because it's a MASSIVE selection here of really unique items. This place is owned and ran by one super rad lady.

Nightmare Toys
@alexdeanmedia
Year round halloween horror, right beside Nightmare Cafe!
Details
Hellbound Horror Collectibles
@alexdeanmedia
Horror collectibles galore!

11th Street Records
@alexdeanmedia
Too obvious. Is it really a punk rock visit without a record shop?

Details
Cash 4 Chaos
@alexdeanmedia
Since opening in the late 90's, this store has become a "staple for finding cheap punk clothes and harder to find punk and metal music" here in Sin City.

Food Stops:

Fatty's
@alexdeanmedia
Fatty's LV is a local bake shop with punk rock influence and design. It literally screams punk rock. Fatty's is also woman owned, and that's pretty punk rock itself.
Details
Dirt Dog Fremont
@alexdeanmedia
Okay, Dirt Dog actually is more rap influenced. But I feel like the punk community can respect that and would enjoy it. Also, they're amazing hot dogs. Three locations.

SAW Escape Room
@alexdeanmedia
There are several escape rooms here, but figured I'd stick with the horror theme.

Twilight Zone by Monster Mini Golf
@alexdeanmedia
Themed mini golf! This one is inside Horseshoe (formerly Bally's). There is also a KISS themed mini golf if that interests you as well, and it's inside the Rio.
Details
Downtown Container Park
@alexdeanmedia
DTLV is just more punk rock than the strip. I don't make the rules.

Details
Koolsville Tattoo
@alexdeanmedia
Get a $10 tattoo while you're here, why not? Every punk rocker has at least 3 bad tattoos anyway.
Note that there are like six or so locations. Check out the one nearest you!
Details
Punk Rock Museum
@alexdeanmedia
This is a BRAND NEW museum and was one of the most anticipated openings of 2023. Opened April 2023.
The Punk Rock Museum "houses the world's most expansive, inclusive, and intimate display of artifacts, fliers, photos, clothing, instruments, handwritten lyrics, artwork, and just about everything else donated by the people and bands who were there." (via the museum's website)
It is a bit spendy, but that's Vegas for you. Besides just the museum, they house a bar, punk shop, tattoo parlor, and even a wedding chapel.
A note that based on location, I would advise not walking here, especially at night. Take an Uber for this one.

Fremont Street Experience
@alexdeanmedia
