Goat Feathers Emporium

It use to be a GREAT place to shop, making a special trip just to go to Goat Feathers, but since the prior owner who apparently absconded with the vendors money, closed, and the store reopened, it is far from an «antique store». More like a craft shop with some old stuff thrown in. Sorry, but it doesn’t get us to Boulder as often as before, which is too bad.

Nice location and plenty to see, worth a stop. Price range from low to high, several dealers
This area has grown in the last 10 years with Antique stores and if you like the Collectible, nick nack style Antique shops it is worth the drive from Vegas!

Huge and spilly with all kinds of vintage treasures, seems like you never get to the end, there is always another corner opening up to another area. Most of the prices are less than I see elsewhere, if something is expensive, I figure it’s because it isn’t elsewhere… rare has added value in my book. I stop by often, because the best deals don’t last long in there.

This in one open air, many seller shop. They have vintage and new, crafts, soaps, baby stuff, garments from India, (beautiful), so many varieties of things. I do wish there was a separation between the sellers of vintage and antique items and the craft and newer items. But that is just me. They don’t seem to get a lot of «new» old items as far as we can tell but we always stop and visit just in case. I usually end up finding something I want to buy. Old or new. It is worth it every time.

As far as antique shops in Boulder City go, it doesn’t get much better than Goat Feathers Emporium. It’s more organized, better stocked and most items are more fairly priced than the other stores that I have gone to in the area.
Goat Feathers is mostly located in a two story building, although they have a second building with mostly antique furnishings open now as well, with each of the booths/​rooms filled with items being sold by different owners. Personally, I love to look for vintage apparel and accessories and I have found everything from 1930s wedding gowns to Louis Vuitton handbags to bedazzled cat eye sunglasses all at very fair prices.
On many visits I do not buy anything, I just peruse the offerings and daydream about being born in another decade. If you love retro, vintage, kitschy items years past, do yourself a favor and stop into Goat Feathers Emporium.

By far my favorite antique store in Boulder City– and probably the largest, too. Lots of variety, carefully curated into distinct sections and styles. Plenty of stuff to search through, but their jewelry is awesome!
Vintage earring selection is on point, necklaces and earring sets are not even necessarily antique but retro-​style and great prices: $ 10 for a pair of earrings that can totally make an outfit; $ 13 – 18 for a necklace-​earring set that will elevate a simple black dress to A-​List status.
Lots of various collectibles here, but my favorite section is their Scrabble area: tiles divided into consonants and vowels, along with game boards and the trays, to customize into crafts however your heart desires! Anyone who loves Scrabble as much as I do automatically gets mad respect.
Staff is busy but friendly, love that they don’t follow people through the store or endlessly try to make pointless chitchat– sometimes I just want to browse without being bothered!

Love this place. So many wonderful things. Best shop in the downtown Boulder city area. Beats all the antique shops located nearby. Excellent prices! They have everything from antiques to new items.

This is a tough review to write, from a man’s perspective I didn’t care for Goat Feathers. They really didn’t have a lot of things for men. We visited other antique shops in the area, and one in particular had a lot of cool items for men. I know this is a Boulder City local favorite, I found that most of their items were overpriced. Example: vintage travel trunk was $ 120 dollars. So I looked on craigslist and Ebay and found the exact same trunk for $ 40.

During our journey into the unknown, THE CITY OF BOULDER aka Boulder City, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I didn’t know what was in store for me, until I saw all of the antique shops! ANTIQUE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!
I had no idea we’d be going antiquing that day, but out of all the shops we got to explore, this was my favorite one! As we were walking towards it, I spotted a Goat and the sign «Goat Feathers.» I had no idea what it meant, but my friends and I were so intrigued by the name of the place, we HAD TO GO IN!
This giant emporium had to be closest to the most organized! From the antiques, giant movie posters, old school typewriter, candy, handmade jewelry, vintage clothing and furniture, I was like a kid again! We had to have spent nearly an hour in there looking through everything! Such a fun experience!
I am a sucker for accessories, so the next time I hit up Boulder City, I’ll have to buy a few more cool earrings and necklaces! My friend did find the coolest little thing ever! It was a little Tea dropper in the shape of a little house. You put the looseleaf tea inside the little house and submerge it into your tea cup, and so you get fabulous tea! I’m so sad there was only one!
So, the next time you step into Boulder City, make sure to check this place out!
HAPPY ANTIQUING!

This place puts the A in Awesome! Full of fun items, from vintage everything to artisan jewelry items. Old cds, quality vtg clothes, books, home décor. You name it. The element of surprise is on an all time high here.
If you prefer the unique and unusual check this place out.

Charming, dimly lit, large space stuffed with all kinds of things. Seriously, aaaall kinds of things. Everywhere. There are creaky stairs that take you up to quasi-​attics stuffed with even more antiques. Great place to buy unique gifts for others, or home décor, or supplies for crafts. I could spend half the day here just looking at things and still not get around to it all. Just love this cute place. :)

This place is huge. It seems to never end as you are wandering through. My mother enjoyed pointing things out from her childhood to me. A great selection and the staff was super friendly. The only thing I didn’t like was the annoying goose that announced «welcome to goat feathers!» anytime anyone entered the store. I got tired of hearing it especially because it was a Saturday and plenty of people were in the store. But once you make your way through, you don’t hear it anymore.

We returned to GFE to check out treasures from the past and possibly see if I could add to my collection of vintage and retro toys or food collectibles… no luck this time but I did see a few cool things like an Edison Phonograph, Vintage Humidifier and Cigar Cutter, and a seriously overpriced Vintage Ice Cream Scoop from Japan priced at a whopping $ 93 dollars??? Lucky for me, I already own the same one which only cost me $ 8 on Ebay…:P
Stop in if you’re ever in Boulder City and wanna take a trip down memory lane, you just might find something you like… ALOHA!!!

This place is heaven for people who like old, weird junk. I’m one of those people. I could browse Goat Feather’s Emporium for hours. It was a breath of fresh air after spending some time in Las Vegas.

My girlfriend and I have lived in Vegas nearly 40 years. We’ve been through Boulder City many times but never actually stopped anywhere other than to get gas.
Today we decided to play tourist in Boulder City. This was one of the first stores we stopped in. Actually we stopped in Goat Feather Too.
The woman working the story was very friendly and helpful. When she heard we were from Vegas and that this was our first time actually checking out the town she went out of her way to tell us all about where we should visit.
Although this was our first visit we were impressed enough with all of the antique stores that we plan on coming back when we need to do some gift shopping. These stores have something for everyone. This will definitely be one of the stores we revisit.
Thanks again for making our visit fun!

Goat Feathers Emporium is such a fun place for browsing and finding unique gift items. The talking chicken that greets you at one of the entrances adds to the fun of the store.
They feature handcrafted jewelry and alpaca items made by locals in addition to antiques GALORE. The older dish sets and home accessories showcased are like a step back in time and right into my grandparent’s home. It’s well worth a visit out to Boulder City, Nevada to see the fun and quirky shop Goat Feathers Emporium.
ANOTHER sweet treat is that if you are looking for nostalgic, old fashion candies they have barrels of them too!

I wish I could live in this store. Vintage-​y EVERYTHING that I wish my day job was to create masterpieces at peoples homes with items from this store.
I scored sweet scrabble pieces that are 10/​$ 1.00, perfect for displaying sweet sentiments in my bedroom.
Blue mason jars which are my obsession, were found everywhere in this store. Vintage signs, cookware and bakeware, eclectic items, vintage Christmas décor. you name it, you can find it here. Prices are reasonable and encouraging. No buyers remorse here!
The staff is always friendly. I can walk the store for hours and feast my eyes without anyone thinking I’m a stalker and/​or thief.

This store is adorable. I love the little talking chicken that welcomes you to Goat Feathers when you walk in the door. It’s just so kitschy. I grew up in the Midwest, so this place makes me feel like home — lots of homemade tchotchkes and useless junk. Just like my parents’ house in good ol’ Missouri.
Sometimes things are really overpriced, but it’s always fun to look anyway.

If you go antique shopping in Las Vegas or Boulder City you will tend to find that most stores are expensive and stocked for women who collect dolls, glass, and vintage clothes (nothing wrong with those but the husband was less than impressed). Goatfeathers is not like this.
Goatfeathers has various sections made up of different people’s collection of wares for sale. The trick is finding that particular area that speaks to your interest. If you want to find something very specific talk to the staff — if you are waiting to be inspired walk around and wander.
Highlights
–Old beer/​alcohol labels and crate labels for .75 a piece great for découpage
–Tiny old medicine/​alcohol bottles for around $ 3 – 5 a piece for jewelry making
–Keys for $ 3 a piece that will be turned into jewelry
–Antique bullwhip for my husband for $ 35 (Paid a little much for a non working condition one, but it was so cool like an Indiana Jones whip I couldn’t resist
–The place is clean, the items are clean, and nothing has that antique funk smell
Most likely if you are a diligent etsy/​ebay buyer you will find things cheaper than Goatfeathers. For tourists from actually older parts of the country you will find cheaper prices where you come from. For a market which is historically marked up for tourists and lacks many antiques due to the recent history of the area this is a great antique store and my husband and I plan on going back.

Went here yesterday after finding that Antique Depot, my jam, was closed for the day. Dang it! When I go to an antique store, I’m on the lookout for two things, and two things only — 1: furs 2: old kitchen utensils. This place had both, and a fur cape that I was considering getting but decided against it. Why? Basically, I wanted to sleep on it, and I don’t want to support a business that jacks up its prices.
I saw an 1890’s Enterprise Manufacturing cherry pitter that I wanted but they were charging $ 56 bucks for it! WTF?! An equally sized, same cast iron, with a table vice grip mount meat grinder goes for $ 10 at other antique stores (which I bought back in CA.) There’s not a chance in hell it’s worth that when they’re selling for $ 5-​$ 20 elsewhere.
This place is huge but I can’t support a place that tries to sell an old wall mounted coffee grinder for more than $ 250. They have some cool stuff but they’re pricing their items for way more than they’re worth.
