About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when CarMax North Las Vegas closed its doors, a strange thing began happening. A little boy, playing near the parking lot, would suddenly stop and point towards the empty lot next door. His parents, puzzled, looked where he pointed—and saw a shadowy figure moving among the cars. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the same ghostly figure and decided to follow it. He found himself standing in front of an old VW Beetle, which mysteriously unlocked itself. The next day, the car was sold to a neighbor who claimed it drove him home every night—until his wife discovered he’d been taking the bus.

2. In the early morning hours, before the first customers arrived, someone started leaving tiny notes in the glove compartments of cars for sale. They were written in different handwriting and always said something funny like 'Don't forget your umbrella!' or 'This car loves to dance!' No one knew who was doing it until one day, a delivery driver found a note addressed to him personally. Finally, after weeks of speculation, CarMax hired a detective. The mystery ended when they discovered that an enthusiastic neighbor had been writing the notes as pranks. Since then, whenever there's a new delivery, everyone waits with bated breath—just in case another note appears, reading, ‘Your engine runs on laughter!’

3. At dawn, just as the CarMax North Las Vegas parking lot emptied, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your new ride awaits!’ As cars began rolling out, a regular noticed his newly delivered truck had its windows down—even though it was freezing outside. Turns out, someone forgot to close them during the night. A delivery driver chuckled, saying, 'Welcome to CarMax—your dream vehicle comes with an extra surprise!'

4. At closing time, when the last customer left CarMax North Las Vegas, a regular noticed something odd in the empty aisles. ‘Who’s been rearranging the cars?’ he asked aloud, thinking it must be a prank. Suddenly, from behind an SUV, came a sleepy voice: 'Just helping myself to some fresh air.' A delivery driver yawned and stretched, explaining that he’d parked his truck outside for lunch and dozed off. The regular laughed, realizing everyone had simply taken a break together.
