I'm UK based but going to be in NY, LA and Vegas for a few days each
shortly.
Anyone recommend fish stores in these areas to stock up on test strips,
medicated food, anything else interesting?

If you mean where can you get stuff cheap? LFSs are pricey on most stuff. A
bottle of water conditioner is much more that say at Petco or PetSmart (our
big pet superstores). I cant remember which on of these is the bigger
store, but one has huge Trop. Fish departments. Lots of tanks. I think its
PetSmart. Check it out. I think Vegas has the same stores we have here in
Los Angeles, not sure about NY, never been there.
I am sorry to say that I only go to my LFS when I need stuff in a hurry. I
would like to suport them more but I can save much more at the discount
places and bigger pet super stores.

When your in Vegas go check out a place called "Pro Bass Shops". Its brand
new and just south of Vegas on I-15 and right next to Casino /Hotel called
the Silverton. I am not sure if your into fishing but they have huge fish
tanks, one stocked with bass that they use to teach you how to fish. A guy
gets on top of the tank and throws different types of lures, plastic worms,
crankbaits etc.... Its like heaven for rednecks :-). There is also a huge
salt water tank where the store conencts to the Silverton Casino. They also
have hunting stuff.
Another really fine Reef tank is at the Mirage Casino, and is located right
behind the Check-In desk. Easy to get yourself lost looking at this one for
a long time.

Have a good time
