Question of the Day - 19 April 2011

Q:
On Sept. 19, 2005 you answered a question on laundries close to the Strip that do wash and fold, and charge by the pound. Can you do an update?
A:

For you, Westie*, anything! (Although, having just spent the afternoon battling language barriers telephonically all over town, please don't ask us to revisit this anytime soon.)

It was, as you correctly point out, back in 2005 that we last tackled the question of laundromats and not surprisingly, given the subsequent economic meltdown that hit our city particularly hard, a good number of the venues we listed before have disappeared (or at least weren't answering their phones when we called within normal business hours).

Here are details for the ones that did. Please note that we haven't tried any of these facilities in person, but many of them have online reviews -- positive and otherwise -- if you Google them, plus we'd recommend calling ahead to verify hours and prices, just in case. The majority also offer self-service wash and dry.

NORTH STRIP & DOWNTOWN (Circus Circus, Stratosphere, Palace Station etc.)

  • Magic Wash, 1120 S. Decatur Blvd, (702) 259-3007 Open daily 6 am-11 pm (last wash 9:30 p.m.) $1/lb wash and fold; min. 15 lb; next day pickup.

  • 24 Hours Laundromat, 2547 S. Maryland Pkwy, (702) 893-2424 Open 24/7, charge $10 for up to 5 lbs, and $1.50/lb after that for wash-and-fold.

  • Sahara Laundry, 4601 W. Sahara Ave., (702) 876-0590 Hours: 7:30 am-9 pm daily. Wash-and-fold is $1.25/lb. White washes they soak for 1-2 hours for extra sparkliness.

  • Sparkle, 326 West Sahara Ave. (702) 982-1361 Open 7 am-6 pm weekdays, 9 am-5 pm Saturday, closed Sunday; $2/lb wash and fold. (Despite the name, they don't do the sparkly soak thing, as far as we know.)

  • Launderland, 1175 E. Charleston, (702) 383-5161 This is the nearest venue we found to downtown Las Vegas that was still in business. Open 6 am-8:30 pm, $.75/lb.

CENTER STRIP (Venetian, Wynn, Caesars Palace etc.)

  • Jack's Wash Tub, 4821 Spring Mountain Rd., (702) 876-9526 Open 7 am to 11 pm daily; $1/lb wash-and-fold.

  • 24 Hour Laundromat Twain, 525 E .Twain Ave., (702) 696-9698 ? Open daily 24/7; $1.75/lb for wash-and-fold.

  • Wizard of Suds, 4275 Arville, (702)-873-1453 Open daily 24/7; $1.49/lb

SOUTH STRIP (MGM Grand, Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, etc.)

  • Cora’s Coin Laundry, 1097 E. Tropicana Ave. Hours: 8 am-8 pm daily. Wash-and-fold $.75/lb.

Since most laundries have last-load time requirements, we recommend you get there at least two hours before closing if you plan on doing your own wash and dry.
