Record City
This longtime vinyl outpost has two Valley locations: this freestanding purple home on East Sahara and a strip mall-housed shop on East Charleston. Though the former offers a fair number of new records, both spots specialize in the used stuff, with the Sahara store, in particular, a favorite of visiting collectors looking to dig for deals. 300 E. Sahara Ave., 702-735-1126; 4555 E. Charleston Blvd., 702-457-8626; recordcityonline.com.

Moondog Records
Sitting just a few doors down from the original location of the beloved, now-shuttered Big B’s CDs and Records, this University District store offers a great selection of used albums and 45s from all areas of music, and also sells CDs and cassettes, turntables and stereo equipment and even some instruments. 4440 S. Maryland Pkwy., 702-802-3333, moondogrecordslv.com.

Wax Trax
Some vinyl collectors have rightly described the three-story, west-side shop as a local record museum. A staggering half-million records populate it, according to owner and doo-wop enthusiast/DJ Rich Rosen. Also impressive: his extensive selection of used turntables and vintage AMI jukebox. 2909 S. Decatur Blvd., 702-362-4300, waxtraxonline.com>.

Urban Outfitters
No joke—this mall store has the goods. New vinyl dominates the impressive curation; you can buy everything from Haim and Public Enemy to Can, and if you’re lucky, you’ll stumble on one of their biannual sales, where premium platters can go as low as $10 a pop. Fashion Show, 702-794-4011; Miracle Mile Shops, 702-733-0058; urbanoutfitters.com.
