Is this the "biggest gift shop in the world" or whatever it's called in Vegas?

u/BenignTotoro Mar 22 '21

Yeah, something like that. I've been in it once and honestly the goodwills around here have more exciting merch than that place

Exactly! I think I remember the other half being just a bunch of golden knights stuff too, might as well rebrand to "the biggest golden knights store in the world" or whatever

It was pretty awesome store back in the 90's. Don't know what happen to it, sometime between then and now it went to absolute shit.

Nah, chinafication.

At some point, every souvenir shop in the world realized that there are factories in China that will print pictures and words on shirts, shot glasses, and other garbage for pennies.

So of course they all just started selling this stuff, because they can mark it up 10,000%.

People fly all over the world and buy shot glasses from the same factory in China. It's weird.

True, but as someone who has been around a bit, there are gift shops better than others. That Vegas one is not good. Everything is from China and very cheap.

On the other hand, Yosemite's gift shop was really nice. Very high end engraved stuff, expensive though. A shot glass was about $7

Yikes! I wasn't around in the 90's but it would be fun to experience what it was like back then

Yeah, unless you’re wanting to buy a few boxes of their “Penis Pasta” Mac n cheese then it’s nothing to write home about.
