Look, first off, if you're visiting Las Vegas, STAY DOWNTOWN! Everybody wants to go to The Strip because it's famous and they've seen all the hotels on TV. Yes they are cool to look at but it is a pain in the ass to get from one hotel to another and everything is very expensive. If you want to have fun, stay on Fremont Street. I've lived here ten years now and I still like going to Fremont Street while like most locals, I avoid The Strip at all costs.
The second thing you have to do when you visit Las Vegas is stop by The Beef Jerky Store. I'm serious. Yes, there are lots of places you can buy beef jerky in Las Vegas for some reason. If you stay at the California downtown there's a little shop right in there. I guess Hawaiians are really into it? But no place compares to The Beef Jerky Store.
"But I don't like beef jerky!" I hear you whining. Shut up, yes you do. Anyway, that's not the point. They have everything. If you can dry it and salt it, they probably sell a jerky version of it. Elk jerky, tofu jerky, CLAM JERKY. And that's not all. They have candy of every variety. They probably have chocolate covered jerky, I would not be surprised at all. Just take a look at the pictures. If you're on Fremont, this place is extremely easy to find. It's just a few steps down one of the side streets next to a large gift shop. Just try to avoid all the shifty pan handlers. They used to have a photo of Matt Damon on the wall from the time he stopped in. I don't know what happened to it. The point is, Matt Damon has been to The Beef Jerky Store. Do you think you're better than Matt Damon? You're not.
One downside, they are only open during the day time. If it's late night and you've had a few, you're not going to find salty treats. You'll just have to go when you're reasonably sober. But by all means, go!
