There was a Broders at Town Square, but Borders went Kaput (yes, with a capital K) not too long ago.

Are there any video or bookstores easily accessible by bus? prefferably near Downtown or the Strip?

On a related question: does anyone know whether Amazon will deliver to a hotel? That would be a lot more convenient and cheaper. And since I'm staying 2 and a half weeks, easily doable.

I'm pretty sure Amazon will deliver to any address you see fit to plug into the site. Whether the hotel would accept a package addressed to a random (in their eyes) name might be the sticking point...although if you asked them ahead of time, it seems like they should be able to accommodate you.

A UPS store will accept delivery. There's one in the Flamingo among other casinos. They'll charge for storage based upon size and duration, but they'll do it.

There used to be a small book store in the Mandalay Bay. Small but had a good range of stuff.

If the casino has a business center they accept deliveries. Last time I checked they charged $5 per pkg.

Sounds like a valid BS fee.

You can usually have something shipped to John Smith, Hotel Guest or perhaps John Smith, Hotel Guest arriving MidJune.

Items sent to the Business Center usually get a modest fee tacked on.
