Stomping Grounds Game Store is a wonderful trading card shop on Eastern and Hacienda. You'll find them at Pioneer Square, next to Alternate Reality Comics and House of Cars Las Vegas. There's good parking.
They opened a year ago in September 2025.
Inside is a lively atmosphere and they offer tons of premium card collections including Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and various anime. The vibe is super relaxed and alternative rock music was playing softly in the background.
The staff here is incredibly kind and welcoming! Asif was friendly and took the time to answer all of my questions, and even mentioned that more information is on their website. Reina was also very helpful and walked me through how they purchase cards from collectors.
If you're into Magic: The Gathering, they host events every day. They had a Friday night tournament game that started at 6pm. Entry is $10 to $20, depending on the competition level.
Currently, they run a draft format where a group of eight people get 3 packs each and pass the cards clockwise to build a deck. Each round is 50 minutes, and if players haven't finished in time, they go into an overtime roll which extends the round up to an hour. If you win the round, you get a brochure pack.
Z was super nice and helpful to explain the mechanics to me, it's very intriguing and immersive, I may consider trying it out!
Right next to the tournament room is a casual laid-back cafe called TK's Snack Stand, and there's good seating.
Their menu offers assorted snacks, fountain sodas, and desserts like Melona ice cream and taiyaki. They serve instant spicy ramen with custom toppings to add like corn, boiled egg, kimchi, chopped spam, vienna sausage, and sliced beef.
I opted for Cheesy Ramen ($5.99), which comes with lime, green onions, and nori seaweed topping. I also ordered an extra topping of Pork Gyoza (4 pieces, $2.50), and it was tasty!
The ramen flavor is a mix of cheddar and mascarpone, and is so good and delicious! It's served stir-fry style without a soup base. Interestingly, they don't use a traditional pan. Instead, they use a Neo Cucina machine to dispense hot water, and Santi uses chopsticks to mix the sauce and noodles before adding toppings.
I love the chewy, curly ramen noodles, it's a fun texture plus the cheddar and mascarpone flavor combo is amazing! Also, adding soft gyoza dumplings makes it yummy! I almost wanted to get another.
Service from Santi is very kind, welcoming, attentive, and courteous. I highly recommend Stomping Grounds Game Store, they have awesome trading card games, great snacks and treats, and everyone in the staff is so nice and friendly! I'll definitely come again. read more
