Since 1980, this gigantic open-air market positioned at the west end of the Sports Arena parking lot has been a bargain-hunter's dream-come-true. As many as 3,000 vendors fill row after row with new and used clothing, jewelry, electronics, hardware, appliances, furniture, collectibles, crafts, antiques, auto accessories, toys, and books. There's produce, too, along with food stalls and restrooms.

Insider's tip: Although the market is open Friday through Sunday from 7am to 3pm, the weekend is when the good stuff is out--and it goes quickly, so arrive early.
