Any great wheelbuilders in Las Vegas?

ProWheelBuilder.com apparently used to operate out of Las Vegas but no longer does.

Anyone had any luck getting a wheel built in Vegas?

I haven't bought any, but there is a local Vegas Metro cop who is a CAT2 rider and builds dozens of wheelsets. I will have to make a couple calls if you are serious. What price range are you thinking?

I can order online easily enough, just trying to stay local if possible.

A few friends have said that Terry at the Bike Shop in Henderson is one of the best Wheelsmiths in town.

Bummer, last time I went to Bike Shop a stoned salesman told me that something I asked about was "legit, too legit to quit." I walked out and haven't returned.
