By Timothy Robinson


We are creatures of memories, and that is why we keep things from our past like old photo albums and such. These kind of memorabilia we cherish for our posterity and as a reminder of things done and experienced. You may be going to Las Vegas and want to know what are the standard Las Vegas memorabilia and souvenirs you can buy on a budget. If this is indeed the case, then do read on fro some tips and suggestions.

Prior to any steps being made, the first thing that you should really do will be to make a checklist. This checklist will be used to include all the important points to be covered in this article, so that you can keep track of what you are doing or not. Always use a checklist if possible when deciding on alternative decisions and such.

A good thing to include on your checklist will be the places to avoid in buying your memorabilia and souvenirs. These two places to not buy from will be curio shops located in hotel lobbies and also those located in the airport. At most they will be selling you very ordinary items at a high price just so that they can regain their rental fees.

If possible do get something that is handcrafted or even handmade. In this way you will not only be supporting local industries that are usually run to also benefit some worthy cause in mind. In addition, when you do buy something handcrafted, you can be sure that it is one of a kind and there will be no exact replica of it.

Should you want something that is not handcrafted and go for something more commercial or factory made, then buy something made in the United States. This is because most if not all things are made either in Mexico or China nowadays. Thus buying something made in the United States is something of a rarity and collection worthy as well.

Vegas is a gambling and casino city so no one should ever forget that. Thus it is only expected that you get some souvenirs of the great casinos in the area, whether it be from one or all of them. Most of these casino souvenirs will come in the form of casino or poke chips converted to key chains and also packs of used playing cards.

Remember also that Vegas is a city of music and pop culture and it will be advisable also to get souvenirs and memorabilia depicting Vegas as such. Plenty of posters, used tickets and programs, mugs and what have you commemorating concerts and musical showings and entertainment do exist and all you have to do is to search for them and buy them.

Apart from the shows and casinos, you may also visit the Vegas Museum of Natural History and get more memorabilia from there. Definitely by getting a museum souvenir from a highly unlikely place will definitely be a conversation piece when you finally get home and show everyone what you got.
