Costco Business Center

This Costco is the BEST! Ever since this Costco had been converted to Costco Business Center, they sell stuff that other Costco doesn’t sell. So far, at this location, they sell lots of stuff like lots of:
— cases of specific Gatorade drinks
— different cases of drinks
— different kinds of chips
— brands of water
— Turkey Hot Dogs
— Different variety of Protein bars
— Different variety of gum
— Different variety of candy (including chocolate, mints, etc.)
— restaurant equipments
— Different variety of Granola bars
If you decided to have a party or need something for your business, this Costco is for you. The reason why because they sell specific drinks like a whole case of Gatorade lemonade in 12. If you want a BBQ, they sell Turkey Hot Dogs (can’t find anywhere except this Costco).
The sad part is that this Costco does not have a food court. The good part though is that this Costco still has a gas station which is convenient and cheap to pump.

Can I rate this specific location on Mlk a zero star for customers service?
I went to try and get a membership (thusday the 30^th @ around 11am) and when I walked up to the membership counter the two employees there complete ignored my wife and I … They didn’t even acknowledge us till a couple of minutes later amd when they did it was with an attitude they asked to to Wait a «Bit». They couldn’t even make eye contact with us at all they were so «busy» they they couldn’t even politely tell us it’ll be a long while till we’d get any help (when all we wanted was to get a membership). After waiting even longer and not to mention it wasn’t even busy at ALL we were pretty much the only ones there !!!
I guess its safe to say it made my decision even easier. I’m better off going to Sams Club worse customer service ever mlk costco !

Still not happy there is no Snack Bar. Business owners want to eat hot dogs and pizza, too. And in Las Vegas everyone needs a cool drink when they are done shopping. Deserves one star though because it’s still the best place to gas up in the central Las Vegas area.

This is a great location and not very busy on the inside. I have started to come to this Costco to avoid the lines in Summerlin. They have some business sized supplies — bulk meats, danishes, etc. The shortened hours are the downfall of this location… its hard to get into here before they close M-​F and they are closed Sundays.

Good prices, but not always the best, you should still try to compare.
In most cases, their bulk packages are actually not too big for the ordinary consumer, which is good.

It is not as busy as the other costco’s and it is right off the 15 so I usually stop here for gas and also to buy water to take home. They have a really good selection of bottled drinks.

HELLO people it’s a BUSINESS Costco, for your business needs! Not pjs, books, food samples. It’s for business needs! My go to place for printing needs. So affordable for copies and logoed items. They have cleaning supplies, restaurant equipment such as refrigeration, stand mixers, shelving, carts, office chairs… And hardly a line!!!

This Costco has a Colombian coffee the other ones don’t carry.
Everything is portioned for resale but that can work to your advantage if you live alone.
Lots of spices etc for restaurants and things you won’t see at the other Costcos.

The smallest Costco I’ve
been to. It’s like a
Neighborhood store with no clothes to sell or food concession. However, it does have a GAS STATION ! So if you’re in the downtown casinos it’s just 5 minutes away.

Try chicken sandwich with Caesar’s salad. the best!
Love shopping there great store!

By far my favorite Costco, here’s why.
They open at 7 am, which makes it super convenient to stop by after I drop off my kid at school or before I head to work.
They don’t have books, clothes, seasonal aisle, toys, movies, prepared food, rotisserie chicken, food court– all the things that jam the aisles and parking lots at regular Costco with slow moving patrons and their sample loving kids. Here everyone is in a hurry and on a mission.
The selection IS different. It’s a business Costco, so you can stock up on crates instead of bags of produce and cases instead of family packs of meat. I likes having the option, even though I may not buy a whole lamb every shopping trip. They have a whole restaurant equipment section and all the goodies a convenience store owner might need to stock shelves. It’s fun to actually just come in once to experience something very different.
The things people tend to complain about– they close early, 6 pm on weekdays and they are closed Sundays. They DON’T participate in same promo book other Costcos do, BUT they do run their own specials. The lines are short, but you have a really good chance of getting stuck behind a flatbed filled with bags of grated cheese, enormous bags of charcoal or a seeming lifetime supply of napkins– plenty of restaurants, eateries and food trucks do stock up here. I have seen staff from Lola’s, H&H BBQ and our fabulous mayor Carolyn Goodman in line before.
The best thing– where else can you get a view of Downtown from Costco parking lot? It’s practically a tourist attraction.

Very convenient and the staff is always so helpful! The Only con is they don’t have a lot of variety with certain products.

CBC doesn’t offer many of the things one might be accustomed to getting at other Costcos, but what it lacks in that area, it makes up for in others. With that being said… if you don’t get caught in the trap of implies shopping, you’re in and out in no time flat. Same with the gas station… in and out. The savings you get on TIME (the most valuable commodity) it’s a solid fiver star experience!

This place is great if you are into buying in bulk.
It’s your basic grocery store on steroids! lol
Enjoy!

I was disappointed when this store transitioned into a business center but now it has become my go to Costco versus fighting the crowds at Summerlin. It is set up differently then a normal Costco. No bells and whistles at all. I’ve never seen samples here but I’ve never seen long lines either. I usually hit up Costco once every couple of weeks for staples like vegetables, fruits and meat. In this area I find it very similar to a regular Costco. They don’t except the coupons that you receive in the mail here, but at times I have found frozen items on sale here that are not on sale at the regular store. As far as gas goes Costco loses a star in this area. I don’t understand why all Costco don’t have uniform gas prices. It’s frustrating to get gas in Summerlin or MLK and see a price difference of as much as .10 at times.

Used the ATM without any charges here. Alright!
This Costco is pretty small The layout is not like any other Costco. It reminded me of an actually warehouse, like a Home Depot layout or something. This location had a lot of sales. My friend and I wanted to load up and take things home to CA, but knew we couldn’t because we had no space in the van. We came on a Saturday. There were no samples at all. Not sure if we were too early, or they just do serve it here. We bought our things and were on our way. The lines were really short too. We decided to drop by the next day to fill gas. We were shocked to see the parking lot so dead and to find out this Costco location is closed on Sundays. What a shame…

Unlike the Costcos I’ve been to in the Bay Area, this Costco sells Mexican Coke, Jarritos, and Sangría Señorial by the case.
The friendly folks at the cash registers also offer to help you pack your goodies into boxes for ease of transport.
Plus, a gas station for your drive to SoCal. or wherever home is.

I never thought the day would come when I give Costco anything lower than 4 stars.
I visited this Costco Business Center twice last week with a group of friends to purchase supplies for a long Las Vegas trip weekend. The good thing was that it had pretty much all the provisions that we needed to last three days in Sin City (food, drinks, equipment, etc.). Where they may have lacked in diversity of consumer goods, they offered more choices in a single type of good. For example, there aren’t any tool sheds, but they do have bottled water. And not just a couple brands of bottled water; they have pretty much all the brands you can think of and all the flavors within a specific brand.
Another positive thing is the fact that it’s quiet here. It’s dreamlike quiet. If you had a dream about Costco or wanted to feel existential for a bit, this Costco Business Center is the place for you… especially on a weekend. There aren’t huge, choking crowds like the other Costco Wholesales. There are no samples being given out, there are no loud, attention-​getting vendors, and there is no food court.
This quietness, however, is what made me take it from a 4-​star place to a 3-​star place.
Towards the end of my trip, I and a friend came back to Costco to make a few returns of some unused items. The slow and overall lack of customer service here started to become apparent to me. It took me half an hour to get someone to help me out with a return. It would be fine and dandy if there was a line in front of me and I was just queuing up, but… I was the only person in line for refunds!
What made it worse were that every employee there avoided me like I had the plague! Not a single associate would even make eye contact with me! No one assured me or told me how much longer it was going to take before someone who had the capability of doing returns would be around! I just stood there silently getting angrier. I had my receipt, my ID, my credit card/​Costco card and the item ready to go.
A small business owner, who apparently was taking up the time of the one person who can do refunds caused me and my 30 second transaction to wait 30 minutes. I only found out after the fact that the person who was helping this business owner in the membership side of the return desk was also the only person in the whole damn building who could do a fucking return! He just started helping the business owner, who had a million questions and didn’t bother to even tell me something as I stood next to them both. Not even after 20 minutes. Nothing. No apologies. Nothing.
Then the phone rang. The one person manning the desk picks it up and starts helping a customer over the phone! Now he’s leaving the business owner, me and another person who just arrived for a membership question (I know because the latter stood on the membership side of the desk) hanging.
Finally, after about 25 minutes into helping the business owner and not making any eye contact or acknowledging me, he picks up the phone and asks for Sandy to come to the desk to assist in refunds. I thought to myself, «Hallelujah! At least the line will speed up and someone can help me.»
Little did I know that Sandy apparently doesn’t do returns. I know so because she told me herself, looked at my item and just walked away. No explanation as to who does! No apologies. No nothing.
Surely this was a dream. This is a quiet, dreamlike Costco. The associates here can’t be so thick to assume I know who can do returns and who can’t. Surely they’re not treating me this way because of some form of discrimination! I got tired and yelled to whoever can hear me, «Can anyone here help me?!»
The business owner patron douche just gave a little shrug as he was trying to figure out what sort of benefits he could get by shopping at Costco. Yeah, thanks pal for holding me up.
The one man who does the refunds, who is now on the phone didn’t even look at me. Sandy, well, damn it, she wasn’t gonna help me after just simply walking away in the first place!
When the half-​hour mark came, the one person who can do the returns finally decided to help me because the business owner was handed off to someone else. He thanked me for my patience, but I was too emotionally drained to respond. Again, no apologies. While trying to keep composure, I said in as quiet a voice I could, «ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THE ONLY GUY IN THIS ENTIRE STORE WHO CAN DO RETURNS?!» He sighed and didn’t respond because he probably thought I was gonna go ballistic on him for making me wait 30 minutes with no hint of wanting to assist me, as he assisted a patron who had a question outside his immediate duties at the return desk. Either that, or he was also under a lot of stress because his bosses don’t hire more people to ease his workload.
That’s makes two of us, buddy.
At least the gas I fueled up with was cheaper than what I get back home.

This review is for the gas filling area in the southwest corner of the Costco. I’ve never been on the property before, but when I came from an appointment yesterday, I decided to stop and get gas as there were no lines at all. This would never be the case in the middle of the day in Summerlin.
I drove in and pulled up to one of the pumps without any line. The pumps are newer than the Summerlin Costco but the layout is much the same. I was on my way in just a few minutes and it proved to be very convenient.
Considering the fact that I’m at the Smith Center so much and which is ½ mile away, when I need a quick gas stop, I’ll be looking to this Costco more often in the future. I am a fan for sure!

This Costco doesn’t have the same feel as the other regular Costcos, as it is geared towards businesses. So if you are expecting to get all the items you typically find in the traditional Costco, this may not be the right Costco for you.
For me, this business-​centric Costco is perfect, because I know I can get a good price on the professional grade kitchen items that are usually not available at the other Costcos and there tend to be less people here in general.
Suppose you want a good set of high gauge stainless steel cooking set at a decent price, this Costco has it for $ 100. You can also get them individually, based on your needs. Plus there are just more selection of commercial grade kitchen tools, gadgets and other business supplies available here than the other Costco.
Overall, the best part of shopping at this Costco is easier parking and shorter time spent waiting in line to get to the cashier.
4 stars!
