According to British Airways, the shop "won't let you down when looking for the perfect souvenir."[1] However Fodor's says "Ok, so it may not, in fact, be the world's largest, but it's the city's largest—and for that matter, the city's best—souvenir store."[2]

History

Bonanza Gifts was established in 1980.[3] Before Bonanza, the corner mall contained several smaller shops and two casinos: Jackpot Casino and Money Tree Casino.

It was the Las Vegas Review-Journal's online readers pick for Best Gift Shop in 2006.[4]

In 2016, the property was sold for $50 million to Haim Gabay, who had been operating the store as a tenant for a year.[5]

Film history

The shop was featured on the PBS show Going Places.[6] This store features in the 2016 Nicolas Cage movie The Trust.
