text: I was wandering through Yelp the other day while I was planning a recent trip to Las Vegas.  I wanted to find good-tasting, reasonably-priced restaurants that weren't on the Strip. Somehow in my wanderings I happened across the International Marketplace.  Being an unrepentant Trader-Joes-aholoic with more-than occasional foreys into assorted international stores, and international food lover, I knew I had to go.  \n\nRemember the Old Goose singing to Templeton about the Fair in Charlotte's Web?  That was me doing my best Templeton (but with better fare).  Oh joy!\n\nI was there for hours and hours.  I couldn't even begin to tell you how much time I spent selecting first cold-pressed olive oils. (I ended-up with one from Italy and one from Greece.)  i went absolutely bonkers in the UK chocolates and candies. I think the money I spent at the International Market may have rivaled what I spent on food overall on the entire trip!  I could just go on-and-on.\n\nBtw, even though I live in California and rarely visit Las Vegas, I bought the membership as recommended by so many Yelpers, and I'm glad I did.  In the end it was almost a push; the amount saved was about the amount spent on the card, so in the future, should I return to Las Vegas, I will be saving from that point on. \n\nSo, with all that in mind, I add a couple of things to keep in mind when shopping at the International Market. Thank you Yelpers for the 411 on reading the expiration dates on absolutely everything.  There are items past expiration on the shelves.  Also, many of the bottles of olive oil had no bottled-on dates and/or expiration dates.  And patience is needed because the aisles often only allow one cart at a time, so if you want to shop that aisle, you may have to wait.\n\nOh, I don't want to leave this review without a special shout-out to the International Marketplace staff.  They were very helpful folks.\n\nSo, go to the Fair, Templeton.  It will surpass your wildest dreams.
