The Bazaar Card Show fills the Paradise Recreation Center on McLeod Drive in Las Vegas on Saturday and Sunday, October 3 and 4, 2026, with a free-admission weekend of cards and collectibles. Built around the idea of a neighborhood marketplace, this show packs well over a hundred vendors into a single community-center hall, and it adds a $1,000 Mario Kart World tournament on Sunday that gives the whole event a lively, game-night energy you will not find at a typical ballroom show.
Expect a broad mix of inventory. Sports card dealers bring baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and UFC singles, along with sealed wax and graded slabs for those chasing investment pieces. Trading card game tables carry Pokémon singles and sealed product, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Super. Beyond cards, you will find anime merchandise, Funko Pops, vintage toys, and general collectibles, so a mixed group of collectors can all find something to dig through.
Hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on both Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4. The promoter lists the event as free entry with no ticket needed, so you can walk in at any point during the day without pre-registering. That makes it an easy drop-in for anyone already running errands in the area or looking for a low-commitment first card show.
The Mario Kart World tournament carries a $1,000 prize and runs on Sunday. Sign-ups close before noon, so if you want to compete, plan to arrive in the morning and register early. On Saturday the racing stations are free to play for everyone, which is a great way to keep younger attendees entertained while parents browse the tables. The tournament is open to all attendees, regardless of whether you are a vendor or a shopper.
The venue is the Paradise Recreation Center at 4775 S. McLeod Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89121, a municipal recreation facility east of the Strip. Community centers like this one typically offer surface parking on site, which helps keep the day affordable compared with resort-corridor shows that charge for parking. Because the hall is a single open floor, it is easy to walk the entire room in an hour and then circle back to the tables that caught your eye.
This show suits families, casual collectors, and budget-minded shoppers especially well. Free admission means you can spend your money on cards rather than tickets, and the mix of gaming and collectibles keeps the atmosphere relaxed.
A few tips will help you get the most out of the weekend. Arrive close to opening on Saturday for the freshest selection, since the best singles and bargain-bin gems tend to move early. Bring cash in small bills, because many vendors prefer it and will happily cut a deal on bundles. Carry a written want list, a pack of penny sleeves and top loaders, and a phone with a price-checking app so you can compare asking prices on the spot. Sunday afternoons are a good time to negotiate, as dealers are often more flexible before packing up.
