go visit the pawn shop featured in "pawn stars" and say hi to chumlee? 
). One word of warning: it's easy to get there by cab, but trying to catch a cab there can be a nightmare. I wound up having to walk a mile or so (in 100+ degree heat) to Fremont Street.

OK...I admit this is sad, but........
I always go and visit Costco. I'm from the East coast and I've discovered every Costco is different and stocks different things! I usually wind uo shipping a bunch of things home. The Costco "Business Center" near the end of the strip carries tons of cooking supplies that I've never seen elsewhere.

I really enjoyed walking around the huge Fry's Electronics. They have HUGE old Vegas photos scattered around the sides of the store, and I love old Vegas.

In that case, I am sure you have done it, then go to "old Vegas", pretty neat especially with the light show at dusk.

This can really be a really fun way to spend 90 minutes or so. Back in the 90's, I rated the pilot episode of the Bonnie Hunt Show (sitcom). I didn't know that this place was still around.

Go to the Gun Store and have a shoot in the indoor range. And have a look at what targets are not available as everyone chooses them !

It is the one called The Gun Store. No idea of temps as I was there in November and it was very pleasant.
