Shopping in Las Vegas

Bonanza Gift & Souvenir Shop NORTH STRIP The self-proclaimed "world's largest gift shop." It is indeed big, and contains everything from dice earrings to pseudo "Indian" goods, and won't let you down when looking for the perfect tacky souvenir.

Tiffany & Co. MID-STRIP There may be some who are unmoved by the power of Tiffany, even after Truman Capote and Miss Hepburn explained it to all. However, even just a simple diamond seems to sparkle more brightly in a Tiffany setting.

Gambler's Book Shop DOWNTOWN You can't beat the system. And yet, this shop swears that you can. Or at least that one of their thousands of titles knows how and will tell all.

Gambler's General Store DOWNTOWN Eight thousand square feet (743 sq. m) filled with all manner of gambling-related merchandise. It's the place to purchase that most splendid of Vegas souvenirs, your very own antique (or current) slot machine. Or you could settle for a book on blackjack.

Fashion Outlets Las Vegas PRIMM A 40-minute schlep from the city, but worth it for dedicated bargain hunters: you get inside shopping (air-conditioning), plus Versace, Tommy Hilfiger, Williams Sonoma, and Banana Republic outlets, among others.

The Attic DOWNTOWN Its lost a little of its hipster luster, but in addition to funky used clothing of varying vintages, this shop makes its own poodle skirts.

FAO Schwarz MID-STRIP An animatronic two-story Trojan horse will bid you welcome and a warm farewell as you leave bearing gifts from this landmark toy store, which sells its own line of stuffed animals, plus trains, dolls, action figures, and so forth.

Atomic Testing Museum Store MID-STRIP The museum is as serious as its subject matter, but its shop is where absurdity-atomic tests used to be tourist attractions-is allowed to sneak in, in the form of fallout shelter signs, and other bomb-and-blast-themed trinkets.

Juicy Couture MID-STRIP Single-handedly responsible for the ubiquity of velour sweat suits, not to mention the word "Juicy" along backsides. To be fair, the designers tapped into the casual wear zeitgeist by making some genuinely cute clothes.

Antique Square DOWNTOWN It's the smallest of the city's three antiques malls, but careful shoppers can uncover a plethora of treasures, including comics, vintage Las Vegas matchbooks, postcards, ashtrays, and other souvenirs of bygone casinos.
