Grand Canyon Experience

Best place to buy water, sodas, energy drinks and Beer on the strip. It will save you tons of money. Where water is 3 – 4 bucks anywhere they offer 2 for a dollar bottle water. And they have the cheapest beer 1.99 local brews and California brews life Golden Road from L.A. This was are go too spot for beer and water.

this place had many souveneirs and also had a subways inside. its so close to mgm where we were staying and it was a good place to buy snacks or drinks here rather than buying the overpriced snacks and drinks in the hotel rooms. i would recommend checking this place out just for the souveneirs even if you dont need food. and try out the hidden subways here because you cant go wrong with subways.

Absolute HIDDEN GEM !!! This was a godsend during our stay at the MGM Grand. We stayed in the West Wing and quickly discovered a side entrance to a small street leading to S Las Vegas Blvd and in the very same corner was this store, which also had a Subway and a pizza outlet. But the BEST THING, and this is a MAJOR TIP to everyone staying within the vicinity, especially in the West Wing of the MGM Grand Hotel, was that they sell 2 500ml bottles of Dasani Purified Water for $ 1. Amazing! This is cheaper than the guys selling the ice cold bottles of water on the streets and more than half the price compared to all other stores. In addition, you can also buy 2 500ml bottles of Coke Cola (regular or diet!) for $ 2, which is ¹⁄₃ of the regular price elsewhere.
This became a regular stop before venturing out to purchase our days supply whilst we were out and about or chilling by the pool. Of course we had a good supply in our rooms to keep hydrated in the desert heat.
As a travelling aficionado, and a feature in my SeaWorld blog post on
, I have a small cooler bag from Columbia, which is perfect for days out or days by the pool as it fits 6 500ml bottles and keeps them perfectly cold all day. I particularly take it out when I am visiting places like Las Vegas or Florida. I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE. One traveller to another! Keep smart; keep hydrated.

The Grand Canyon Experience is such a craphole. It’s redeeming qualities are as follows: 1. there are endless piles of Vegas souvenirs, probably more than anywhere else on The Strip; 2. The booze is halla cheap; 3. You completely cannot beat the location.
That’s it. It’s a great stop for those reasons but if those reasons aren’t what you’re looking for, don’t bother.

On our recent Vegas trip we must have come here at least 11 times. Not exaggerating. The prices here are SO affordable and you can wander in while you are hotel hopping and grab a big ol’ beer. We also got some awesome boobie coozies to keep them cold in, as well as some souvenirs for friends back home, all without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

I’m surprised by the low reviews for this store. It is right next to MGM west entrance, and saved me A LOT of money on beer, water, and snacks. Many cans of beer are 2 for $ 3 (Bud Light Platinum is your biggest bang for the buck). Water bottles are 2 for $ 1. There is also a Subway and low quality pizza place inside. I see comments below complaining about low quality souvenirs… I would imagine this is true for most stores on the Strip. Keep in mind that most hotel rooms do not have a refrigerator, I should have bought a cheap styrofoam cooler since the hotel at least provides free ice.
I do admit that the name of the store doesn’t really make sense, and the upstairs is hard to find and there’s nothing worth checking out up there anyway.

Stopped by here to pick up a beer to go. This is like a convenient store mixed with a souvenir shop. The name of this store is confusing and I wasn’t sure of my check in at the time. It is the closest convenient store for MGM guests. If the line gets really long for Hakkasan you will find yourself outside right by this location. Stop by here to pick up a drink or a quick souvenir on the go.

Convenience store and souvenirs at a very reasonable price. The place itself was pretty cozy and felt as though you were in some kind of cave. I recommend this place for anyone looking to get souvenirs or snacks.

The Grand Canyon Experience is a huge souvenir and gift shop located on the Las Vegas Strip. Its prime location allows for some good people watching and entertainment. On the night I was there, almost the entire store stopped browsing through the store to go and watch a woman get arrested right on the part of the Strip that fronts the store. That’s the Las Vegas night life for you! Anyway, more about the store…
They have tons of souvenirs here and it’s conveniently located on the Las Vegas Strip, next to M&M’s World and the MGM Grand. The store consists of 2 floors of just about any type of souvenir you can think of including key chains, shot glasses, shirts, obnoxious hats, cell phone cases, etc. Yes, a lot of the gifts are cheesy and a bit tacky but they make good gag gifts but they also have some really nice and tasteful trinkets as well.
Prices of their products vary. You can find a lot of cheap items like key chains but then there are also a lot of products that are poor in quality and overpriced. Just be wary of all of the things you are putting in your basket because I kept choosing all these cheap key chains, bottle openers and so forth and then over $ 100 later and sometime well after midnight, I had a bunch of random souvenirs for my friends and family. Everything adds up and then you have the sales tax of over 8% that you have to pay. The customer service was crappy but overall, the Grand Canyon Experience isn’t a bad place to stop on the Strip, especially if it’s your first time in Las Vegas and are looking for some gifts to bring back home.
In short,
Location: A (right on the Las Vegas Strip)
Price: B– (many cheap items but others are overpriced)
Customer Service: D (unfriendly and unapproachable)
Hours: A (Open late; I think to 1:00 am)

I was here around midnight (don’t ask) looking for souvenirs. This one is right by MGM. Relatively speaking, decent options and reasonably priced. They get you in the door with cheap water bottles for sale which is a welcome sign after an evening of partying.

Looking for a shop that has all your tourist gifts, then you should come here. This place is huge with 2 floors of junky junk. Most of the stuff is tacky and low quality. I rather go to the ABC stores. Also, I can’t figure out the name of the store since there is really nothing Grand Canyon related in here. Having said that, I always seem to go in here but only after shopping in the World of Coke and M&M Superstore.

We love this store because they have Dasani 2/​$ 1. That’s a freaking steal. The thing I don’t like is staff hawkeyes you like you’re going to steal. No, buddy I will not steal those 8/​$ 1 key chains. However, I was behind a lady who stole a bottle of water. Put it in her jacket and security didn’t catch her. Security was a man who was about 80 pounds overweight and has seen better days. I think he was security at a retirement home at his previous job. He probably saw her but didn’t think it was necessary to chase her down when he could barely hobble around the store. And staff is not very friendly. But the prices are good. It’s just a cheap souvenir shop competing with 10 more like it.
PS: Take cash, if you use a CC you have to pay a fee. Get yourselves to the 2000s GCE.

This is my wife’s SECOND favorite place for Vegas souvenir shopping (next to Trader Joe’s of course). There is EVERYTHING here for everyone on her shopping list: T-​shirts, shopping bags, mugs, cups, magnets, key chains, picture frames, hats, and any another possible knickknack that you wouldn’t need or want for yourself but are happy (or obliged) to give to other people to clutter up their homes (…in my opinion).
New revelation: there’s an UPSTAIRS! Totally missed this the last time we were here. All the kid stuff and a bunch of sale stuff is located up here.
We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town.

Located right on the strip, next to M&M world, perfect if yo uare already next door spending money on the kids.
It’s a big store, HUGE selection, all you tourist needs should get filled here.
Though I prefer the gift shops at the other end of the strip, you can get the same items for half the price at the end where the Wynn Casino is.
If you are only in this area, GCE will do, though it gets insanely full in here as well, prepare to wait a while to check out.

Great gift shop with a ton of variety and good prices, especially for being on the strip. There is a wide variety of adult themed gifts to be had upstairs. Fun place to explore and pick up gifts for the many people who say «bring me something back»!

I pretty much walked into this place because they had a sign for 2 16 oz waters for $ 2 and we had just done about 4+ miles of late night strolling up and down the Vegas strip in the 100+ degree weather.
It looks like a small shop from the outside but inside it is pretty big with multiple levels and tons of merchandise. I didn’t really look around since I was dehydrated and just wanted the water but it appeared to be a pretty decent shop. There might be some other goodies hidden in here worth checking out. Oh yeah, there’s alcohol in there too…

This is a super cute store! It’s like in a rock, but not really! Fun items, snacks and booze. It’s appealing to the eye because of the outrageous in a canyon type feel to it, so it’s really neat. Especially upstairs when you can look down kinda on a bridge. and you go up an escalator in between rocks. nice!

We just got back from 5 days in Vegas. We stayed at the MGM. The Grand Canyon Experience is right next door! You barely have to walk outside to get to it. We found a secret passage. If you go out of the MGM West Wing lobby (by the West Wing Bar), when you walk outside you’re at the back door of the Grand Canyon Experience! We stopped here several times a day. In the morning we would stop for waters (2/​$ 1 small or 2/​$ 2 large). And later in the day we would stop for $ 1 beer! 4/​$ 4 Miller High Life. I also bought a Las Vegas photo album here. I thought it was $ 10 and when I got to the register it rung up $ 5 bucks! What a deal. I also bought a Las Vegas tote bag for $ 8 bucks. As far as magnets and key chains, I got them slightly cheaper on Freemont St. But if you’re not going down that way, the prices here are fine.
If you use a credit card, they ask for ID so have it ready. We found this in most places that we went in Vegas. Fine with me!

they have a large variety of souvenirs you can get for your friends back home. they have something for everyone. i bought alot of little things for friends and everyone loved everything i got for them. so i guess this is a pretty good place to start if you want to take something for your loved ones. price is pretty fair considering this is a place on the strip. nothing on the strip is cheap. they have food and drinks too! all kinds of shot glasses with funny things printed on them. their staff is friendly and helpful as well.

Fun little knick-​knack store next to the MGM Grand. They have lots here for souvenirs for a good price. It’s pretty big store with two stories. If you want t-​shirts or bags or sex toys even, this is a good place to go. They also sell a lot of ‘pipes’ if you know what I mean. ANd they are a good price. Way cheaper than compared to anywhere in California that I’ve seen. And I haven’t many other stores with a big selection like them.
They also have a little grocery area with drinks and snacks. Go here to buy them instead of the hotel. You’ll save a few bucks!
