Lee’s Discount Liquor

Lee’s in Boca Park is a rock-​solid store, in a local liquor chain. This review is for that store.
The staff is always friendly and very helpful if you’re looking for something and don’t know where it is. While they don’t have the largest selection, they have all the essentials, and quite a decent assortment of some of the less common wines, liquors, pre-​mixed cocktails and secondary ingredients for making mixed drinks. Even though there’s a large competitor very near by, Lee’s prices are overall competitive.
The reason I’m giving Lee’s three stars instead of a higher score: they seem to be inconsistent with special orders, or even orders for things they carry that they can’t keep in stock. Two examples: Lee’s carries one of our favorite vodkas and had it consistently on the shelf for years. Then suddenly they never seemed to have it even though the spot on the shelf and signs remained in place. After a couple months (!) of asking and being told more would come in the next delivery, then being told it was was selling out immediately after delivery (possible but a bit unbelievable since they should know to increase the order), then not holding a bottle or two out for me when the delivery is made, they finally told me it was a problem with the distributor… a bit strange since other liquor stores in the area still always had an ample supply. I finally contacted the distillery directly and asked if they were aware of a problem with the distributor in Las Vegas. The answer was what I expected: no. They said they’d confirm it though and called their rep in Las Vegas who reported back that the Lee’s store I was frequenting hadn’t ordered the vodka in months. The company told me the distributor would contact Lee’s and within a week it was back on the shelves. I’m not sure where the breakdown really was, but it seemed odd that a customer could fix the problem with a single email while the Lee’s was apparently unable to fix it for months. I also attempted a special-​order through this store. We were after something a bit unique and Lee’s told us they could get it. Great! I’d rather buy through them since they’re local. We ordered several bottles. The order never came in. After asking about it several times and being told the order was still in the system, they couldn’t explain why it was taking so long. (Again, even though other stores in the area had this on their shelves.) The last time I asked about the order, I was told I didn’t have a special order in the system. I had the impression the order was probably canceled since we were hitting a point that it seemed they couldn’t get it, but no one called to let me know.
If it weren’t for these issues, I would easily rate Lee’s with four stars, and possibly five. I want to end by reemphasizing the positives though: the selection is fine for most everything you’ll probably need and the staff alone at the Boca Park location is overall fantastic. They know where everything is, they’re always friendly and it’s a very rare day that I’m not greeted with a heartfelt «hello» when I walk into the store. This is what keeps me coming back to Lee’s first rather than going to a competitor.

Not being knowledgeable about wines I needed help and got it with no pressure.

I usually go to Total Wine but they were out of the particular rum I was looking for as a gift. I entered about 15 mins before they close (which I hate to do to places since I feel like a total jerk but it was last minute) due to me running errands taking longer than expected. I had to use the bathroom real quick and asked an employee if I could use a restroom really quick. I was told in a rude tone they didn’t have a bathroom. I went and grabbed what I came for and went to the register. The female working was texting on her phone and I stood and wasn’t even acknowledged until she was finished doing whatever she was going on her phone. I quickly paid and went to Total Wine. Total Wine is open an hour later, they have a public restroom and they are always super friendly and eager to help. Definitely won’t be returning to Lee’s unless it’s out of necessity.

I had a Ad from Total Wine and went to Lees because they say right on the door «they match advertised prices» and Total Wine was out of stock of what wanted. We took our 4 twelve packs to the counter and the girl said we could not use the Ad from Total Wine because the ad had coupons for the sale price. Obviously they didn’t want our business, which is funny because there was no one in the store. We will go back to Total Wine tomorrow when they get stock back in, not going to waste my time ever going to Lee’s again.

Made the mistake of going across the lot to TW first. Was looking for something very specific and when i went to the customer service counter at TW I was told they didn’t have it in stock and couldn’t order it. The girl behind the counter didn’t even attempt to check (or PRETEND to check) to see if they could order it and I was told no one in the area was likely to have it in stock. Anyway, went across the way to Lee’s and sure enough, they had exactly what i was looking for. I needed a case and then some and Francois, the wine manager, was super accommodating. I will strictly be a Lee’s customer from here on out.

They always have PBR in a bottle and the price is reasonable. Marcus the cashier is very friendly and well versed on everything in the store. If you can’t find something he always is able to find out if they have it or if it’s on order. He is a great employee…

Yes, you can go to the other fancy pants liquor store that is in the same complex as this location, I choose to spend my money in a locally owned business. Mr. Lee is a big supporter of local charities and schools. You can get yourself something extra special knowing some of it is going back to the community.
The employees can be a bit lackluster in knowledge and customer service skills. Also their rewards program needs a major overhaul.

I love this place. They have all the liquor you need and the wine selection is amazing. Can’t forget to mention how cheap everything is.

Im not a heavy drinker but once in a while I stop by this lee’s for a stock up. This time was because my company was creating a specialty fall drink for a gala and I needed to pick up a few bottles of Cinnamon Schnapps for the Apple Pie Martini, unfortunately they did not have the reg. Cinnamon Schnapps so I opted for the Hot and Spicy Cinnamon Schnapps. As I was checking out I asked the girl at the counter if we could return the schnapps if we found a the regular somewhere else, she said no return but exchange yes. The next week I came back to do the exchange (because we ended up finding the reg cinn schnapps somewhere else) and it was very easy and hassle-​free. The girl remembered us and she got her manager and the exchange went very smoothly. This is a great lee’s liquor location and the staff is always very helpful & knowledgeable. They made our day!

Great store located in Boca Park. Clean, easy parking, and GM Scott and his staff are a pleasure to work with. Fantastic selection of wine beer and spirits.
Will match and beat any competitor. I myself prefer to support an independent business rather than a corporate chain like TW. High end selection is kept tempurature controlled. If you want great selection, pricing and customer service.
Go see Scott, Francois and the crew at this newer Lee’s location. I can’t vouch for the other stores, but if you live in the Lakes/​Summerlin/​Northwest area go browse the selection and you’ll leave satisfied.

Rolling into this particular location, one would think they should have their head examined because a little more than a hundred yards (approx) is a Total Wine & More. Having been to a few LDL’s and having met Uncle Lee once, I wanted to check this one off this list. while creating a list in the process.
Intimate is the location. The space is not of the «warehousey» feel, like at other locations. The inside is as one would expect when entering anything in Boca Park. It was a refined Lee’s Discount experience.
They open at 9:00 AM and the place was empty and allowed me to roam in peace. My current flavor of the past half decade, Jameson was found with ease. I thought given a previous conversation, I would seek out Stella Cidre. It was located with ease.
Given that it was time to check out, I went to the check out counter. I mistook what the clerk said was the total, and this lead to further conversation. The result is they will price match the discount liquor establishment giant that lurks in the area. I will say that I have no idea if I was being lied to because I could not see the computer screen. My one suggestion is to do your homework before you make your selection at either place.

This is an OK liquor store. They have a decent selection of spirits, beer, and wine and it’s mostly laid out logically (although for some items, they have them kind of spread all over the place). Prices seem pretty good and the customer service folks are nice enough.

I really like Lee’s and being so close to another big liquor store it has to be tough to compete but they do. Although smaller and maybe not as «ritzy» I think the Lee’s staff has the ‘other guy’ beat hands down on knowledge of staff and willingness to help.
I’ve gone in looking for a specific wine and vintage and instead of just we don’t have it the answer was «let’s see if we can find it» and I had a very interesting conversation with the sales rep who made another recommendation that was great.
… and this is pretty typical of every visit. if they don’t have it but it can be found, they will get it!

This Lee’s usually has decent prices and selection when I drop by…
They were out of Remy Martin VSOP for months, but I dropped in on a whim, and they actually had the limited edition bottles I have been searching for!
They have a pretty knowledgeable staff that has been able to answer my questions when they arise.
Too bad they have some stiff competition nearby! But when Lee’s has sales, they are usually cheaper… just not on the stuff for retail.

This is a very good liquor store. It has a nice beer selection overall, a very good selection of spirits and mixers, some hard to find, and it is certainly worth a trip, especially since another great place, Total Wine, is in the same shopping centre. However, Lee’s selection is not outstanding and the workers are not very energetic or enthusiastic. There are Lee’s branches all over town, but I’ve only been to this one and another on Lake Mead, and only this one recently.

:’(closer to home but selection of cold beer is worse than Flamingo location.

I am not going to win any awards for my knowledge of buying booze. In fact, I probably haven’t even entered a liquor store in close to a year, maybe longer? I guess my dislike for grocery shopping spills over into the beverage arena as well.
We stopped in to grab a nice scotch whisky for a gathering. The store was basically empty except for the employees. It was clean and orderly and had the feeling of your average liquor store but with an emphasis on wine selection. We were trying to decide whether a blended or single malt was preferable, and the staff didn’t seem to be incredibly knowledgeable on this issue. However, we did get some help and a recommendation.
When checking out, we were offered a couple of free rocks glasses, which was a bonus. Overall, a rather uneventful trip to a liquor store, and we left with swag. Success.

I was looking forward to shopping here. I miss Bevmo since moving to Vegas and from what I’d seen on TV, Lee’s was the closest thing.
The store, while a bit dark, was really neatly organized. I liked the low shelves, so it’s easy to see across the store and find what you need. I thought the shelves were well-​faced and they had a huge selection of everything. The pricing looked average.
But what really turned me off was that upon entering around 5pm on a Friday, the store was empty save one other patron and a handful of employees, all of which were standing around the main aisle, kibbitzing and shooting the bull.
We entered the store, walked through this gaggle of gabbers without so much as an acknowledgment. In fact, a guy who walked in behind us (but was clearly not WITH us) was greeted, but I wasn’t. In fact, one of the men made a point of looking over my head, PAST me, when I was right in front of him, to greet the guy behind me. No one else stopped talking or made any eye contact with us.
This really pisses me off. This is my first experience with your business. Heaven forbid I interrupt your employees’ conversation!
Look, I don’t like to be hassled when I shop, so I don’t need you to have a Walmart greeter. What I would have preferred is that one person standing there had looked me in the eye, said hello or offered to help me find what I needed. If the they had been busy with customers, I absolutely would not be even discussing this, but they were standing around doing nothing.
To make matters worse, we had to walk through them 3 more times, once to look for something else, once to go back where we came from and finally, once more to LEAVE when I realized I had no intention of giving them my business that day.

I get it– they are competing with Total Wine and felt the need to literally compete by building a spot in the same shopping center.
It’s neater and nicer looking that most Lee’s I’ve been to. In general, I can find a few beers here that sometimes isn’t carried or out of stock at Total Wine. I’ll always browse various stores to round out the collection of beers.
However, the recent visit is all about spirits. The prices were more than Total Wine. We were looking to purchase bourbon and were comparing stock between various stores of a few brands on our shortlist. We decided on grabbing Blanton’s and it was $ 51.99 here and at Total Wine for $ 42.99. Of course, we crossed the parking lot and bought it there instead.
We were standing there for a while and comparing and debating. The store was empty aside from one other guy browsing and with at least 4 people not having a specific job, like the tasting booth or cashier, standing around I find it surprising that they didn’t at least come on over to check on people. It wasn’t until we were trying to leave did people try to ask us if they can help us with finding something. Maybe if they did approach us, we wouldn’t have been on our phones looking at information and found that it’s cheaper elsewhere. 5 items came up cheaper at Total Wine, 1 item came up same price.
Beers I will definitely browse, but this probably is not the place we will be purchasing fine spirits to build up our collection.

Ladies and Gents. Boys and Girls. This review is #100!
It’s fitting for me to choose a Las Vegas institution for my 100^th review.
I paid a visit to this store last week when I decided to break my self-​imposed sobriety two weeks sooner than expected. I didn’t come here on purpose though.
I was in search of a fantastic beer. Something craft. Something amazing. I went over to Total Wine (this review doesnt make me think any less of TW…) and I just didn’t find what I was looking for (Stone Imperial Russian Stout 22oz). I crossed the street and went to Lee’s.
The moment I walked in, I knew I’d find something. The beer cooler is substantially larger than the one at Total Wine. In selection and size. I was shocked because TW is a massive store!
This Lee’s has a great selection of craft and imports. A good variety of Rogue’s, Stone’s, New Belgium“s, etc. I immediately found the Stone IRS and went on my way.
Staff had a pretty good beer IQ. Didn’t expect that from a «Discount Liquor» store.
Had a fantastic experience here. Whenever I come back to visit Las Vegas (Moving to Scottsdale in a couple days), I will definitely pay a visit to this Lee’s location. They’ve got lots of stuff!
And as Ken M. said in his review, there is an emphasis on wine at this location. But the beer selection is quite good.
Happy 100!
