Las Vegas Mixtape v13: Drag City, French-Asian Sweetness, and Unknown Realms

Track #3: The Realms Within @W Sahara Av

Reality is a bummer, and losing yourself in the material world is a dead-end for those seeking true happiness and enlightenment. Let The Realms Within on Sahara Ave be your guide if you want a gateway to a higher consciousness in Vegas.

The spiritual store carries everything from incense, tarot cards, and crystals to occult items and books like “Psychic Vampires” and “Supernatural Sex.” There are even some fun bumper stickers with phrases like “Born Again Pagan” and “Never Piss Off A Witch.”

The Realms Within occupies 4,000 square feet, with rooms for classes offering healing techniques like Reiki and “meditations and psychic development,” as owner James Phoenix points out. He opened the store in 2017 and moved to its latest and third location in July 2023. 

“It seems as though people are beginning to seek the magic that comes from inner exploration,” says Phoenix. “We try to offer a space where people can feel comfortable to pursue the ‘crazy’ questions without judgment. I’ve been there with the ‘crazy’ questions I was too afraid to ask.”
