Cheap off-strip location to buy alcohol?

I would prefer not to transport all my alcohol across state lines.  Where can I buy alcohol within reasonable driving distance of the strip?  I hear "Lee's discount liquor" is fairly popular?

I'm looking for ~10 bottles of champagne + 10 bottles of liquor, and a decent selection of beer/ciders.  My ideal vendor would be selling bottles of Moet or VC for < $40/bottle - don't mind buying a case of 12 if it gets me down to that price. 

Am I looking for a unicorn?

    There is a Lee's Liquor south of the strip on Las Vegas Blvd. It is indeed a popular store. I'm not sure about pricing though... you would probably have to call that location specifically and ask.

    Total Wine & More is another option but not located super close to the strip.

    I had really good luck at the Total Wine & More the last time we were in Vegas for vacation - we got some amazing deals and they have EVERYTHING. But it is a bit of a drive from the Strip for sure.

    Total Wine & More -

    wow, that's really off-strip, and not the convenient side of off-strip either.   Have an acquaintance that lives out that far and it's a solid 30 minute drive.

    I've heard of people going to Costco.  We are having our champagne and wine shipped from here because we have a guy that will give us a good deal, but we are going to just order liquor and beer from Vons and have it delivered because we don't want to rent a car.

    ah yes, good ol costco - that will be my "Plan B" but I've seen lower pricing elsewhere. I think Costco is right @ the $40 price point for Moet.

    We are getting Graham Beck, which is quite good for the $13 price point then getting a couple of good bottles for ourselves.  

    If you are going to any good restaurants, you might want to check on corkage fees to save a little extra too.  We are going to Bouchon and taking our own wine.  They charge a $25 corkage fee as long as they don't have the bottle on their menu.  The upcharge on wine is ridiculous.

    Might want to look at Piper-Heidsieck too; I find it far more consistent and better tasting than Moet in that same price range, and sometimes less.

    We are going to hit Costco the day we get in to buy all of our food and liquor in order to save some $. I know the closest one to our hotel is in Henderson, but there is a Target nearby we can hit as well.

    we got all ours from total wine and more. You can pre-purchase on their website and just pick it up... that way you know what you have spent and you don't get tempted to buy other stuff!
