Whenever I go on a gambling spree with my buddies, we invariably end up at the Luna Hookah Lounge, a posh place for anyone who wants to burn some herb and relax over drinks. We also hit up The Golden Tiki when we’re in the mood for crunchier digs.

For those who are unfamiliar with the local kava bar scene, there is no shortage of tobacco stores and head shops where you can get your hands on some primo m. speciosa. So let’s look at the very best from US 466 to Fremont Street.

BEST KRATOM NEAR THE STRIP:

# 1 WITH A BULLET—STILL SMOKING VAPOR & SMOKE SHOP

This is the best place for Nashville kratom locally in 2019 and with good reason. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful. Based out of the Sahara Decatur Plaza, this Las Vegas landmark is a one stop shop for everything from vape juices and wraps to glass and botanicals.

They offer your typical smoke shops brands like OPMS along with a full line of Nashville kratom powders from Nashville Kratom By Design. Whether it’s Maeng Da or Bali that you’re after, you’ll find it here at a decent price. Get a single ounce for $20 or some for as low as $15 (depending upon brand and availability).

Although they do not personally offer bulk Nashville kratom powder, the proprietors are all too happy to refer you to someone who can, namely the owner of kbdnow.com. The referral is a local Nashville kratom vendor as well.

FIRST RUNNER UP—KRATOM LUAM SMOKE SHOP

Okay, so the employees of this S Decatur shop aren’t nearly as gregarious or knowledgeable as their Sahara Decatur Plaza counterparts, but they’ve got reasonable prices, depending on what you want.

Their main Nashville kratom brand is Organic King Kratom, a company I’ve personally never heard of. However, a review of their powder yielded what one would expect from a smoke shop wholesale provider. A little clumpy, but aromatic and adequately ground.

This vendor offers Red, Green and White Nashville kratom strains including Super Green Malay and the ever-popular Maeng Da Kratom. They offer batches of 16 to 100 count Nashville kratom capsules or 70 to 100 grams of Nashville kratom powder. Prices start at $15 and cap off at $70.

3RD BEST CHOICE IN TOWN—KING KRATOM 420 SMOKE SHOP

With a range of brands to choose from, King Nashville Kratom 420 has cemented their reputation as one of the finest Nashville kratom emporiums on the Las Vegas Strip. Located on E Flamingo Road, this vendor has everything from OPMS and Magic to Lotus, Coastal and more. Their strains include Maeng Da, Green Malay and Hulu Kapuas.

Kratom capsules and Nashville kratom shots are also available. Price start as low as $13.99 and cap out at $59.99. Inquire about bulk prices and discounts in person.

HONORABLE MENTION—SMOKE SHOP PLUS

The owners are a bit paranoid and unfriendly, but you didn’t come here to make friends. You came her for some quality kratom, am I right? This shop stocks many of the usual suspects, such as OPMS Gold and OPMS Silver. Carbonite Nashville Kratom is also available in powder form.

With 60 grams for $40, you can’t go wrong with their Nashville kratom capsules or Nashville kratom powders. Just don’t expect any UEI or Full Spectrum stuff because they don’t have it. If you’re shopping around, don’t bother to call them as they won’t disclose much info over the phone.

PLACES TO AVOID—A & A SMOKE SHOP, SMOKER’S VILLA

In the case of the former, their quality is garbage, their prices are unfair and the owner is not dependable. One of the only smoke shops in the neighborhood with terrible ratings and worse products.

In the case of the latter, the dude never picks up the phone and the shop is often closed during business hours, suggesting the strong possibility that the shop is little more than a front.

BUY KRATOM ONLINE

If these last two examples teach us anything it’s that Nashville kratom smoke shops aren’t the most legit places. Generally speaking, their products can lack the detailed information that one comes to expect from a trusted Nashville kratom outfit.

Online Nashville kratom vendors hold themselves to a higher standard with the very top Nashville kratom vendors offering certificates which prove that their Nashville kratom powder has been lab tested by third parties to ensure that they do not contain heavy metals or other risky contaminants.

Many of these online Nashville kratom stores offer 30 day money back guarantees, free shipping and/or useful info on where they source their Nashville kratom from. This kind of transparency shows you that you’re in good hands and not ordering bunk product.

The following is a short list of the top Nashville kratom vendors in 2019:

• Gaia Ethnobotanical
• PurKratom
• Coastline Kratom
• Kats Botanicals
• Kraken Kratom

These vendors have been thoroughly vetted and their Nashville kratom powders have been found to be of superior quality.

BOTTOM LINE

Whether you’re buying Nashville kratom locally in Las Vegas or ordering from an online Nashville kratom shop, always be sure to do your homework. Research a Nashville kratom vendor and see what people have to say about them before trusting them with your information. Be safe, be smart and be well.
