Las Vegas is packed with flashy lights, themed hotels, and show-stopping sights—but if you’re hunting for a photo spot that’s full of character, charm, and retro cool, look no further than 11th Street Records. This downtown Vegas record store is a hidden gem for portraits, couples sessions, family photos, and more. Whether you're a local from Henderson or Boulder City or just visiting Las Vegas, this is the kind of spot that adds instant edge to your photos.
What Makes 11th Street Records So Great for Photography?
Imagine shelves of vintage vinyl, cozy corners filled with music history, warm lighting, and pops of color at every turn. This place isn’t just a record store—it’s a whole vibe. If you're into photos that feel fun, nostalgic, and totally un-staged, this spot delivers in every frame.
And here's the best part? They allow photo sessions inside! For just $20 for 20 minutes, you can shoot in-store—or spend that same amount on records and get your photo time as a perk. It’s affordable, unique, and supports a local business all in one. Talk about a win-win.
Not Just for Music Lovers
You don’t have to be a vinyl collector or music buff to appreciate how cool this place is. It’s the perfect backdrop for:
- Solo portraits (great for seniors or birthdays)
- Couples sessions with a moody, urban twist
- Family sessions with older kids or teens who love a little downtown grunge
- Creative content if you’re building a brand or just want something different from a studio setup
And yes, even your dog would look iconic next to a record wall (I can confirm this from experience).
Downtown Las Vegas Just Hits Different
11th Street Records is right in the Fremont East District, one of my favorite spots to shoot in Vegas. It’s walkable, packed with murals, neon signs, and quirky bars and shops. So if you want to mix things up, we can hit multiple spots in one session: start at the record store, wander past street art, and end under the glow of Fremont’s famous lights.
It’s fun, spontaneous, and packed with color—basically a photographer’s dream.
