Las Vegas Souvenirs & Gift Shopping Guide 2026: Where to Buy

Las Vegas souvenirs come in two kinds: the same shot glasses, magnets and T-shirts you can find in every gift shop on the Strip, and things that could only come from here, such as a deck of cards that was used at a casino table or a box of chocolates made in Henderson. This guide helps you find both, and pay a sensible price for the first kind.

Store details below were checked on each company's own site in September 2026. We haven't surveyed prices shop by shop, so there are no "save X%" figures here: compare a few shops before you buy anything expensive.

Quick Picks

The Big Souvenir Stops on the Strip

M&M's, Coca-Cola and Hershey's

The three brand stores on the south and center Strip are free to walk into, and each is an attraction in its own right.

• The Coca-Cola Store is at 3785 S Las Vegas Blvd in the Showcase Mall, next to MGM Grand. Coca-Cola lists store hours of 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily and its beverage bar from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The bar's signature is the Around the World tray of 14 Coca-Cola drinks from other countries, and you can personalize a Share a Coke can with a name.
• M&M's is in the same Showcase Mall block. It sells Vegas-themed M&M's merchandise and chocolate by the scoop.
• Hershey's Chocolate World is inside New York-New York. Expect Hershey's and Reese's candy, bakery treats and Vegas-branded gifts.

What to buy: the personalized items (a named Coke can, custom candy) are the gifts you can't get at home. The logo mugs and plush are the same kind of merchandise sold in other branches.

The big gift shops

The north end of the Strip, toward the Sahara and the STRAT, has the largest stand-alone souvenir shops, including Bonanza Gift Shop, which calls itself the World's Largest Gift Shop. They carry every classic item under one roof: shot glasses, magnets, dice, playing cards, T-shirts, Elvis sunglasses and slot-machine banks. Go here if you need a lot of small gifts at once.

Drugstores and convenience stores

The pharmacies and convenience stores along the Strip stock a souvenir aisle with the same kinds of magnets, shot glasses and T-shirts found in hotel gift shops. They are often cheaper for the standard items and open late, so they're the practical choice for filler gifts.

Hotel gift shops

Each resort's shop sells its own branded merchandise, and that is the reason to go: a Bellagio, Caesars Palace or Circa logo item can't be bought elsewhere. For generic Vegas items, the hotel shops are usually the most expensive option. The resort malls, such as the Forum Shops at Caesars, the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian and the Shops at Crystals, are for designer shopping rather than souvenirs; our Vegas shopping guide covers them.

Ethel M Chocolates: The Local Edible Gift

Ethel M is a chocolate maker based in Henderson, and its boxes are the most "made in Vegas" food gift you can buy. Its flagship, factory and cactus garden are at 2 Cactus Garden Drive, Henderson, open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to Ethel M.

• Factory viewing: a free self-guided viewing aisle where you can watch production, Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
• Cactus garden: free to walk, with more than 300 species of desert plants. Ethel M charges entry during its Holiday and Valentine's Day events.
• Tastings: chocolate tastings for all ages and a chocolate-and-wine pairing for those 21 and over. Ethel M says tasting guests get 15% off their in-store purchase that day.
• Without the drive: Ethel M also lists a kiosk at the Forum Shops at Caesars, stores at Town Square and Downtown Summerlin, a gift shop at the California Hotel downtown, and shops at Harry Reid International Airport.

Heat warning: chocolate melts fast in a Vegas summer. Buy it last, keep it out of a hot car, and pack it in your carry-on.

Casino Cards, Dice and Chips

These are the souvenirs that were actually part of a casino.

• Used playing cards: many casino gift shops sell decks that were used on their tables. Retired decks are marked, usually with a clipped corner or a hole punched through, so they can't be slipped back into a game. They make an inexpensive, genuine gift for card players.
• Used dice: craps dice are retired the same way, often drilled or marked. Ask at the gift shop.
• Chips: keeping a low-value chip from each casino you visit is a classic collection. Chips are only cashable at the casino that issued them, so don't take home anything you might want to cash later. If a casino closes, its chips may stop being redeemable.

Downtown and Local Finds

• Fremont Street: the souvenir shops along the Fremont Street Experience sell the classic range with an old-Vegas slant, and the casino gift shops at places like Golden Nugget and Circa sell their own branded items. See our Fremont Street guide.
• Downtown Container Park: small boutiques in shipping containers at the east end of Fremont Street, with no entrance fee. Good for gifts that aren't mass-produced. After 9 p.m. the park is 21 and over.
• The Arts District: galleries and vintage shops south of downtown, with work by local artists. The monthly First Friday evening is the busiest time to browse; check current details before you go.
• The Neon Museum: its gift shop sells neon-sign-themed prints and gifts. The Boneyard itself needs a ticket.

What Makes a Good Vegas Souvenir

Worth buying

• Something personalized: a named Coke can or custom candy is fun to make and unique to the trip.
• Something local: Ethel M chocolates, or art from downtown.
• Something authentic: a used casino deck or a chip from your favourite casino.
• Show merchandise: a program or shirt from a show you saw is a better memento than a generic slogan shirt.
• Resort-branded items from the hotel where you stayed or got married.

Think twice

• Generic items at resort prices. The same magnet or shot glass is often cheaper at a drugstore or a big gift shop.
• Anything fragile you can't pack well. Glassware breaks in checked bags.
• Liquids you plan to carry on: see the TSA rule below.
• Photos with street performers if you haven't agreed on a tip first.

Food and Drink to Take Home

• Chocolate: Ethel M is the local choice; the brand stores sell Vegas-themed boxes too. Mind the heat.
• Coffee: Las Vegas has local roasters, and a bag of beans travels well in either bag.
• Hot sauce, liquor and other liquids: pack them in checked luggage. The TSA limits carry-on liquids to containers of 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less in one quart-sized bag.

Airport Shopping

Harry Reid International Airport has gift shops past security, including Ethel M's, so a last-minute box of chocolates is easy. Selection is narrower and prices are rarely lower than in town, so treat the airport as a backup. Anything liquid bought after security can go in your carry-on.

Packing and Shipping

• Wrap breakables in clothes and put them in the middle of your case, or carry them on.
• Leave room: weigh your bag before you leave for the airport if you've bought a lot.
• Ship large or heavy items. Your hotel's business center or a shipping store can send them home; compare the cost with your airline's checked-bag fees.
• Keep receipts for anything valuable, in case you need them at customs or for a return.
