Located between the Strip and Downtown, the Gamblers General Store has everything any intelligent gambler would want or need. Need a book to figure out the finer points of blackjack, poker, craps or even slot machines? Want to get a souvenir deck of cards from your favorite casino? Looking for a DVD of the 1998 World Series of Poker? Want to get some REAL clay composite chips like the ones casinos use (not those namby-pamby plastic ones you can find at Bed Bath and Beyond) or even your own personal slot machine? This is the place to visit. It can be a little dusty around the edges, but it can be one of the few places where you can find books on almost every gambling-related topic, from the 'bibles' like Doyle Brunson's ""Super System"" and ""Super System 2"" to the quirky self-published books on how to count cards for blackjack. Truly worth a visit for anyone who's ever wanted to 'beat the house.'
Pros: friendly and helfpful service, vast selection of gambling books, interesting collection of Vegas history
Cons: a little dusty and cluttered
