Bonanza Gift Shop

Bonanza Gift Shop, at 2440 S Las Vegas Boulevard on the north Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, markets itself as the World's Largest Gift Shop and occupies roughly 40,000 square feet of souvenir floor space opposite the Sahara. It sells the full range of inexpensive Las Vegas memorabilia: fridge magnets, shot glasses, T-shirts, caps, playing cards, poker chips, postcards, novelty items and Nevada-themed gifts. Almost everything is mass-produced tourist merchandise rather than handmade or locally crafted work, so visitors seeking authentic artisan goods will find more at Downtown Container Park or in the Arts District, while this store is the stop for low-cost presents and keepsakes in bulk. Prices are among the lowest on the Strip, with many small items priced at a few dollars, and multi-item bundles are common. Prices are marked and generally fixed, so bargaining is not part of the culture, though price comparison with Strip resort shops usually shows noticeable savings. Major credit cards are accepted, and cash is fine for small purchases. Nevada sales tax is added at the register, and the United States has no tourist tax-refund scheme for these goods. The atmosphere is that of a large, busy souvenir warehouse, with aisles of packed shelves, bright signage and a steady stream of tourists, tour groups and families, especially in the afternoon and evening. Food options inside are limited, but the Strip location puts casino restaurants, fast food and cafes within a short walk or ride. The shop is positioned in the north Strip near the Sahara, an area less polished than the Center Strip, and it is easiest to reach by ride-share, taxi or the Deuce bus along Las Vegas Boulevard. Opening hours run from morning until late evening, which makes it convenient for visitors finishing a day of sightseeing and wanting to buy gifts before leaving. Because merchandise is similar across the shelves, a quick walk-through is usually enough to find the cheapest version of any item.
