My understanding is Vegas is a reefing black hole. No Quality LFS, no support or local farmers on facebook. Do they have even have a MACNA affiliate? No swaps or shows. You'd think its Vegas ... convention capital of the world, but nope on Reefapoolza too.
You are definitely misinformed. We have quite a few good stores such as Aquatic Treasures, Blue Reef, Pisces, and Artistic Oceans. Aquatic Treasures is the best in town and definitely a better quality LFS than some stores I've seen in other cities
We have our own shows and swaps at least twice a year and our Facebook group is full of people with support and a great way to get coral.
The reefing community here is great. There aren't aren't any huge conventions here but that's to be expected. We live in a desert...
