World's Largest Gift Shop sells for 50 Million!

Sure, and Fremont was low rent five years ago.
You buy before the market heats up.

Steve Johnson, who owns a bunch of Walgreens, bought the postage stamp Holy Cow paredel for essentially the same price ($47 million) a decade ago. No progress since, but Midol prices may have increased.

Midol? Try Naproxin (generic). WAY cheaper. Works just as well.

It's gonna be another Wallgreen's or CVS,for sure.https://www.cvs.com/store-locator/cvs-pharmacy-locations/Nevada/Las-Vegas
That dude just bought the dirt,not the gift shop.

When is "going out of business" sale?
Bring a hand truck and a pick up truck.
That stuff won't fit into my carry on. Ship it!
I stop by at least once per trip. They seem to have just about all of the cheesy Vegas themed trinkets.

At auction today, I won a tub of obsolete chips, some ashtrays and assorted bric a brac.
Included was a box of about 200 books of matches promoting the Liberace show. Curiously, it doesn't name the hotel. Just says two shows nightly.
What you believe to be "classic" is, in fact, nothing close to it.

Poor old DonDiego still misses the Desert Inn and the Dunes.

When the World's Largest Gift Shop is gone, where will DonDiego get his snow-globes ?
