4 Best Places to Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada

Okay, so it may not, in fact, be the world's largest, but at more than 40,000 square feet, it's Vegas's largest souvenir store. And although it carries most of the usual junk, this peddler of pop-culture kitsch also stocks some most unusual junk. A pair of fuzzy pink dice? Check. Blinking "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign? Check. Elvis aviator sunglasses complete with black sideburns? Check. How about a battery-operated parrot with a potty mouth or a 3-inch plastic slot machine that squirts water? They're all found here, seven days a week. Check out an area of the store that contains Elvis and Marilyn Monroe gifts. As Bonanza likes to say, "If it's in stock, we have it."

Nevada legalized recreational cannabis in 2018, and today about 80% of the state's dispensaries are located in Las Vegas. The largest of these, NuWu Cannabis Marketplace, is 16,000 square feet and sits just outside Downtown. The facility is open 24 hours a day and boasts a drive-through for those who don't want to leave their limos or rideshares. There's even a tasting room (technically they call it a consumption lounge). Be prepared to fork over your ID when you buy, and remember that it's cash only, at least for now. It's also worth noting that you can't fly with cannabis products, so it's best to use what you buy before you skip town.

It's a pot of fun—literally. This cannabis superstore not only has the goods—smokables, cannabis extracts, and all manner of cannabis-infused products, including edibles—but it's also framed in a good-time vibe unlike other dispensaries. It's different right from the get-go, with a secret-phone-booth entrance that opens into an art-bedecked space. Resembling another planet that could live in your imagination (especially if you partake of their stock), the creative atmosphere includes selfie spots and interactive art elements. When it comes to matching the ambience to the product, Planet 13's dispensary has it down to a science. And, most importantly, the budtenders know their stuff, so you can feel well guided through everything you need to know before making the right (and safe) purchase.

If you've always wished for the sleek tresses of the stunning Vegas showgirls (or female impersonators), or if you want to try a daring new look for the clubs, head to this bright and spacious Vegas institution. You'll find an expansive selection of natural-hair and synthetic wigs and hairpieces available in many styles, lengths, and colors, as well as accoutrements such as Styrofoam heads, hair adhesives, shampoos, scarves/turbans, and eyelashes.  A hair covering must be worn (scarf, bandana, nylon stocking) or purchased before trying on wigs (and the cost credited back if you purchase something). Allow additional time for cutting, styling, and proper fitting of your hairpiece if you plan to wear it on the same day of purchase.
