As I explore the sights and sounds of Las Vegas, I came across The Spice Outlet from an article in the Las Vegas Review-The Southwest View last week. This is a new store on W. Warm Springs Rd, that has been offering spices on a wholesale basis to restaurants & Casinos in Las Vegas, but now offers them for the individual retail customer as well. My interest was peaked when they talked about selling "beet powder", that can be used for red velvet cake instead of red food coloring. You can get "a pinch of this", a "dash of that" or by the ounce (s). They offer over 250 spices-a sampling, whole lavender, leek powder, ground fenugeek (I have no idea what this is), chamomile flowers, spinach powder rub. With your first visit, they will give you a complete list of all spices offered.
A small shop, but worth exploring. The Spice Outlet is located at 9690 W.Warm Springs Rd, past Rainbow, before Buffalo. 702-534-7883.
