The customer service is HORRIBLE

by pezel1

I called into the store because there was a rare piece of Vegas material I wanted, and they held it there exclusively. I was greeted, or rather barked at, by a woman who I was later informed was the owner. I explained my story about my piece and was told they had it in stock. When I arrived from a 45 minute drive, not only did they NOT HAVE IT IN STOCK, but I was greeted by the laziest, rudest salespeople I'd ever come across. I understand we all have our bad days, but this is NOT a place I will come back to. I did NOT spend my money there, and I hope no one else has to experience horrific customer service like that. Whoever wrote the comment below mine probably worked for the store because not ONE person there was friendly, including the Owner, and if you can't get respect from them, who can you get it from??

• Pros: None
• Cons: Rude Salespeople, Did Not Have Item In Stock, Disgusted

shopping hysterics!

by krisorama

Every time I go to Las Vegas I stop at the World's Largest Gift shop on the corner of the Strip and Sahara. They have a wonderful selection of turquoise jewelry, Minnetonka moccasins, t-shirts!!! and of course my favorites: handbags and totes. There is always something new to discover kitsch-wise. Yes there are lots of Las Vegas souvenir kinds of stuff -- but the dice clocks? the fabuous t-shirts? Even Bride and Groom T-shirts and flip flops that say just married when you walk thru the sand, you can own your own personal "welcome to Las Vegas" sign that is also a lamp. Totally cool stuff. Wouldn't miss it and HIGHLY recommend stopping and shopping!

• Pros: easy parking, accessible
• Cons: ???

Repulsive store

by dynomitem00f

I came to this shop, advertised by its huge signs of being the largest gift shop in town; Indeed it is, it's also repulsive for so many reasons.

Where to start, you open the doors and are greeted with a repulsive security guard, if not multiple ones, who will check your bags and receipt - even though he watched you pay for the same items when you walk out the door. Not only do they require you to check your bags with them, if you carry a kid in a stroller you have to leave them with the security as well. So don't bring your kids, they'll assume your kids are thieves and follow you around as well.

I mean they've got it all:

1. Creepy old store

2. Parts from other, creepy old stores

3. Stuff being sold for multiples of what it's worth

4. Repulsive security guards

5. Repulsive sales people

6. Repulsive staff

I could go on and on, but even some of the stuff they sell is repulsive, and if that isn't enough, well the parking lot is repulsive as well.

• Pros: They have just about everything that can fit the words "Las Vegas" on it
• Cons: Repulsive, bitter people running a dinky place.

It's the quintessential palace of fun, cheap Vegas souvenirs.

In Short
It's the self-proclaimed "world's largest" gift shop containing all kitschy Las Vegas-related merchandise. An entire corner of the immense store is devoted to cedar souveneirs, including salt & pepper shakers, curio boxes and even a cedar birdhouse that says "Las Vegas Bed and Breakfast." In one fell swoop, customers can outfit themselves in a giant foam cowboy hat, a bowling shirt with metallic flames, a Las Vegas fanny pack and even a t-shirt bearing the logos of several hotels in puff paint and accented with rhinestones.
