Broadacres Marketplace

Okay, so… I’m stupid. I came here last weekend on a Sunday…108 degrees outside lol. So, nothing against the marketplace itself but omg, the weather made this trip miserable lol. Learn from my mistakes, Sheeple! Anyway, I can’t get over how huge this place is. And we didn’t even get to walk the entire place. I love a good swap meet, especially an outdoor one! I’m from Mexico and so this place felt very comforting for me :) They had an endless amount of candy, chips, snacks, and drinks from my childhood! I also got a michelada and watched the band play and people dance. Then I bought the most beautiful summer dress for $ 20 and awesome sandals for $ 13 LOL. Pretty and cheap! I can’t wait until it cools down so I can go back!

Hey, its a swap meet! But I did have some degree of expectation. I tried to give it a shot as a seller, but someone stole my space on day 2 and they did nothing about it, but ask me to go find somewhere else empty lol. It was too dang hot to walk around looking for something that I had already stood in a hot line days previous paying for. No refunds the «manager» in the office says. Oh well… nice racket and a huge money maker for the owners as I heard several people say they have come several times and made zero. This place is a little Mexico. There is plenty of Mexican food and live Mexican music on the entertainment stage. The food didn’t seem too bad in passing, but the conditions for things to be sanitize and safe are questionable. But a cool spot to people watch for the entry fee of $ 2 and if you like festive entertainment.

First time coming here they have a variety of food to choose from and many fresh fruit drinks. The fruit drink stand let us try the flavor a before buying one. We got a green one with pineapple inside it was delicious. Bought a cute hello kitty lamp for my daughter for $ 4. Some people over price by overall good prices if you bargain. Didn’t get to try the corn in the cup but it looked delicious. Had some birria tacos that were Bombay! Compared to California flea markets this outdoor one is pretty big. They have so much stuff to look at.

Today 5÷21÷16 i purchased (3) tickets at $ 15 a piece to enter this place simply because it was an «special event», Apparently the tickets were to go see ‘Pancho Barraza’ i was not even within the swap-​meet for 10-​minutes before i had to go fetch the portable charger for my phone in my car; PRIOR to exiting i ask an security guard if its okay for me to leave and come back. This employee tells me that it usually isn’t okay but since there’s barely anyone in line that it will be alright for me to do so.
Few minutes later i’m back in line and as i attempt to get back inside the event i am told by the SAME security guy that i couldn’t get back inside, As i sit there outside the gates for 30+ minutes waiting on my friends whom were still inside to get back i notice something peculiar.
I personally witnessed as several other folks purchased tickets, passed the gate and not even two-​minutes later returned to retrieve something from there vehicles and they too were told that they couldn’t come back inside the event despite them purchasing the ticket just minutes prior to going back to their car.
This is a blatant scam-​tactic often used by promoters and venues to take the most money they can out of people while covering themselves with a ‘company policy’, To me this is unacceptable and borderline stealing from the consumers. I will be contacting BroadAcres and requesting an FULL REFUND if one isn’t provided, I will be in touch with the Spanish press as well as making an official report to the BBB, Consumer Agencies and lastly the city of North Las Vegas.

I went to this place thinking I was going to have a good time just walk around and look at the many items they have, I was more wrong then ever. My husband, uncle and friend and I were walking around the swamp meet when a security guard began harassing my uncle. The security guard named Jorge asked for id’s on my husband and uncle and before they could take there id’s, Jorge pushed and snatched the beer out of my uncles hand. They began telling them they are being kicked out. When my husband asked why the security guard stated that we were not allowed with glass I understand what he was saying but Jorge just wanted to be offensive. Then 4 other guys came to escort us out. When we asked for names and numbers in order to file a complaint they only stated my name is BEAR and that he was head of security and by Monday we could receive the footage from cameras. We were trying to talk to the main security all he stated was that there was no footage and no other way we could file a complaint. We research online but there was only a written statement saying the place was closed. And no further openings were going to happen.

This place is like a mini TJ. The food is authentic and the little shops remind me of Mexico. I do enjoy walking around here every weekend with my wife.

I love going here with my kids. It only cost $ 1.50 per person and you can go out and come back in with a hand stamp. No bad. They have a wide range of items there. It’s your typical swap meet/​flea market. You won’t be able to find too much antique stuff, mostly new and yard sale items. Price is reasonable but you will need to barter for lower prices. The food court has some good food. From Hawaiian to Mexico to Italian to Asian food. Lots of culture mix. It’s a pretty good size place, should take you about 1 to 2 hours of walking. Sometimes they’ll have a band playing in the middle of the flea market… mostly Hispanic music but nevertheless, some music.

If your ever looking for Men’s designer style clothing or body jewelry look us up here at the Broadacres Swap meet.
Isle 7, space 7020. Ask for Ignacio or Uriel.

A plethora of merchandise and food that you might become interested in that you didn’t even think you wanted before. Always get te freshly roasted peanuts, they are amazing and generally $ 5 will get you a big enough bag to last a week or so. They have a good court too with different, mostly Mexican, food choices. And the admission price is not bad either! Only thing is, it does get hot after awhile because it is all outdoors.

Six months ago I wrote a pretty detailed review of my favorite shopping and haggling Mecca in the world, and now that I have survived the sweltering Summer months, I can give a bit more insight as, for the first time since I started going to Broadacres, I started to head there on Friday nights instead of Sunday mornings.
It was recommended to me by one of their regular vendors that I am friendly with that I check out the Friday night action at Broadacres. I had always thought that the Friday night selection would be slim at best as far as vendors and that most people that go on Friday night aren’t there to shop but are more there for the live entertainment on stage. For the most part, this is actually true, and there are droves of people that pour in after 8PM that are specifically there for the concerts.
I, on the other hand, am really only interested in the shopping for crap I don’t need, so when my vendor friend suggested Friday night because it is the first time that the weekly goods will be displayed (and that by the time Sunday rolls around, the wares had already seen two days of shoppers), and that the weather is MUCH more manageable as the Sun has set.
Sure enough, she was right, and though there are significantly fewer vendors on Friday night (mainly due to the lack of the one-​weekend Fly by Nighters, the quality of the goods is quite high since it is indeed the first day to display them (most of these vendors spend the week purchasing their goods and then start selling them Friday night).
My one piece of advice would be to get there fairly early on Friday. It starts at 4PM but due to heat and setup, I recommend arriving no later than 6PM. Many vendors do not have electricity in their booths, so the lighting is minimal once the sun sets.
Overall, I absolutely still love Broadacres, and still religiously go every week. I am glad to add Friday night to my weekend repertoire and I cannot recommend it more highly to Swap Meet fans and non-​fans alike.

I just happened to pass by this place last week and had heard of it on Unilocal so i made a date with my friend to come here. I’m so glad I did!
How rare is it in Vegas anymore to truly find a DEAL?!? This place was full of them! So many wares, so little time!
We stayed for three hours and would’ve stayed longer but it started to rain. Thats ok, we still had fun.
There were tons of toy stands for our kids to keep them interested, plus a moonbounce and a mini buccaneer ride (pirate ship). $ 3 each and the moonbounce was a generous 15 minutes.
There were a ton of food vendors. We chose a spot across from the bandstand, where lively music was playing. The kids each got a burger or hotdog for $ 1.50. They got chips and a drink. Then me and my friend split the bbq combo plate, which was 10.50, included ribs and bbq chicken AND 2 sides and was more than enough for both of us.
$ 40 for 5 kids and 2 adults. A little under $ 6 each. Not too shabby!
More than anything I just really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was so much fun to find what was so similar to the flea markets of back east. I was grinning from ear to eat all day.
And I didnt break the bank. The kids were free to get in, me & my friend were $ 1.50 each to get in, i gave my kids $ 5 each to spend, and they each got a few things and didnt even spend all their money. If it hadn’t been raining and i didnt have kids with me i would’ve been able to hunt more, but i did get a video for $ 1, my friend got some CUTE clothes for $ 1 each, and i felt like it was a morning well spent.
I will definitely be back.
Oh and tables are only $ 30 each so if you have some junk to unload you might think about coming here.
For what it is, a quirky market with all kinds of interesting stuff — 5 stars.

This place has everything, though most things are same price as the stores or even overpriced. In general, place is fun and very crowded. Good for family and kids. Mostly Hispanics are here I’m probably the only Asian there. Mexican music is played everywhere. Very energetic atmosphere.
Haggling is off limit here and I dislike that part. I know stuff and I know the price and some things are just ridiculous. I get it they’re making a living and stuff. Some stuff are just really in bad shape idk why they’re selling it. There are some antique items here that caught my eyes. They literally sell everything here from bras to shoes to video games all types and some really old stuff. Some guys were selling organic honey also. It’s fun to go through all the stands but I recommend go with a person who somewhat fluent in Spanish or else you might feel lost.
They have food stands but mostly finger food, nothing special or fancy. I had a fresh coconut being chopped right in front of me to open for the coconut juice, after we drank all of it and poured into a cup, they broke it in half and scooped the flesh inside. It was really delicious and refreshing I loved it. Many fruit drinks stands around. I had chamango or mangonada. It was delish, $ 5 for a small but they filled all the way, well garnished with chewy stuff. Then I ordered 4 tacos that took 20 minutes to make and it wasn’t even busy. I had this sandwich made with soaked red and soggy bread with inedible fillings. My friends and I later had huge stomachaches and diarrhea. It was terrible and the food gave us food poisoning. I’m pretty sure it was the mango fruit desert thing mangonada or chamango bc only two of us got the diarrhea and we were the only one that ate the mango thing
Over all experience is fine, fun place to hang out and to spend sunny day. I don’t recommend the food bc I think it’s really unsanitary. I though recommend everyone to bring their own cold water or whatever drinks bc it was really expensive there

I love visiting this place just to see if I can find interesting items or something i may need for home that can be purchased used and cheap. Today i ran into some hedge trimmers. First seller: the seller tried to sell me a trimmer held together by a piece of wire. He wanted 12 for it. Next ran into a stall that was able to find a hedge trimmer and a branch cutter. Both rusted but still pretty sturdy. He gave me a slashed down price for two of them at 11 dollars. What a bargain. Felt like I hit the jackpot.
Btoadacres has a mix of new and used items. They also have alot of snacks and produce and lots of phone accessory. This place makes well the meaning of «one’s man trash is another mans treasure.» The stage area and entertainment was Definetly a bonus.

I love going to Flea Market but outdoor is my favorite compared to indoor. First time yesterday although weather sucks but I had a good deal of getting a new dress with a tag from French Connection that cost $ 10 only which the original price was $ 168 from the tag. Everything from this place is organized and I will keep coming back here every week hopefully to get some more good deals.

Oh how I love this place! If not just for the nostalgia. I always came here as a child and actually my first paying job was here in the summers as a child.
Sunday is the best day to come and the only thing to complain about is the parking! Coming after Sunday service is now a routine:) So we just park down one of the side streets and walk over.
They have EVERYTHING under the sun! Plant shops, tropical fruit stands, clothes, music, Mexican and hard to find spices and herbs! It reminds me so much of the open markets in Sinaloa. They have a coconut ceviche place that is amazing.
I like the music too, and the place is festive!
Do not forget to get the Mexican street corn. Best thing I like to share along with churros :)
This place makes the end of my weekend and beginning of my week just perfect, along with service of course !!!

This place is always fun. Be prepared to wheel and deal. They have a lot of random things. It’s like one big garage sale. Lol

Love this place! Sooo many treasures to be found. Our outdoor swap in Phoenix has nothing on broadacres. A visit is not complete without a michelada of course.

First of all let me just say this pace is #TheSh!t
I’ve been coming here since I was 8 years old (now 27) and it had only gotten better.
They have everything from fresh produce, herbs & spices to furniture, pets, clothes, toys and of course live entertainment & food! The list is endless and keeps growing and growing.
It’s always a good time when you go there with friends and family and just browse or buy a few things you don’t need (which I’ve done a few times lol).
A few famous/​semi-​famous artists and performers have graced the stage in this open air location. The sights, sounds and smells just take me back to my childhood.
Any questions? Lmk…

Unilocal 365 CHALLENGE 2014−(173÷365) «Takin’ A Break At Broadacres»
Awesome spot to find some cool deals, tasty treats, listen to live entertainment, and great people watching too!
Its only $ 1.50 to get in on the weekends and if you’ve got enough patience, you can score certain items at dirt cheap prices that you may pay for double or triple outside.
With warmer temperatures, you can cool down with Micheladas or aguas frescas, snack on a tasty Cocoloco, Churro, or Gordita. Guys, If you need to get your hair did, there’s also a Barbershop inside.
One of my favorite things to get is the roasted peanuts here which are so cheap and very addicting. Taco Tijuana fans will be happy to know that they have a location in the events center too! I was also on the hunt for a burner for a paella pan that I’m still waiting to break in, but sadly, no luck… still a great place to spend the day! ALOHA!

I don’t love shopping at swap meets, but I have wanted to see what Vegas had to offer in that realm for a while. I finally go the chance.
They are open every weekend for $ 1.50 admission on Fridays and Saturdays and $ 2 on Sundays. The swap meet is huge. It took us a good two hours to walk the entire area and see as many of the booths as possible. There are tons of food options, including Mexican, BBQ and even a Chinese and Thai spot.
They have a center stage that has live entertainment throughout the day and evening and there is plenty of seating to enjoy the music and a michelada while you’re at it.
As far as vendors, there are all the typical items you’ll find at pretty much any other swap meet you encounter. We were a little disappointed in the lack of variety and the pricing tended to start on the higher side for most options, but oviously negotiating is the name of the game here.
Broadacres is definitely something to be experienced at least once, if not on the regular, if that’s your thing. Obviously it’s best to enjoy this outdoor shopping as much as possible before the weather becomes too intolerably hot.
