Don't believe what was said about ""rudeness."" I have never been treated in any other way but wonderfully at Williams Costume. (How can they be rude when they have a live sanctuary of desert tortoises for customers to see?) \r

The owner, Nancy, herself a former dancer for a Strip hotel floor show in the late 1940s (see her pictures there, and the mural of her on the building), has made literally thousands of costumes over the years, stored upstairs and down, for virtually anything -- Halloween, Easter, Xmas, costume parties, etc. These aren't cheaply made costume either! She is recommended by Strip hotels for guests needing costumes while in town. You go there and you'll see costume people from shows on the Strip buying or renting her merchandise (she has almost every kind of costume jewelry, rhinestones, fabric, masks, et al) for their performances -- that's been true for years and years.\r

It's worth the trip to downtown Las Vegas, if only to look at the museum-like atmosphere of the place. \r

Nancy is one of the nicest people you'll know, and she has SO many stories to tell about the old days of Las Vegas from the 1940s onwards.
Pros: Unbelievable selection 1,000s of custom costumes
Cons: It's downtown Vegas, that's it
