ABC Stores

by Anita L.

Boy, not only is Las Vegas the favorite tourist spot for Hawaiian travelers, but the ubiquitous Hawaiian ABC Stores are also dotted around Vegas. The merchandise is slightly different than in Hawaii because on top of selling the Hawaiian stuff such as chocolates, coffee, souvenirs, they also sell Las Vegas stuff such as CSI: LV merchandise.I guess you don't have to fly all the way to Hawaii to pick up some of your favorite island treasures anymore.

Anyone that has been to Hawaii knows about ABC stores. I was stoked when I discovered that there were 2 ABC stores in Desert Passages shops in the Aladdin Hotel (now Miracle Mile/Planet Hollywood) a few years ago. Now every trip to Vegas guarantees at least one stop here. The great thing about ABC stores is that you can get pretty much anything you need while on vacation for a decent price. They have a ton of souveniers - magnets, pens, calendars, tees, glassware and whatever else you may want to bring home. They carry your standard snacks but also carry snacks that cater to their Asian clientele (wasabi peas anyone?).  Plus they have a bunch of Hawaiian snacks - cookies, popcorn and macadamia nuts galore. This is also the best place to get Las Vegas themed Hello Kitty stuff - post its, cell phone charms, pens, etc. And they have beer, wine and liquor. One stop shopping, for sure.

Just went in because I always do when I'm in Hawaii.... just felt natural to go into a Vegas one! I love ABC stores, and this one did not disappoint. Bought a key chain souvenir, looked at all the Vegas shirts and Hawaiian chocolates/coffees... but also if you wanted to grab a soda, chips, etc, they got that too!

ITs the store that has everything you do and do not need...Enough said...If you need a random item it is very likely that you will be finding it in the ABC store..For me it was a pair of flip flops...little crapy sandals that i paisd 20 bucks for...Convenient? yes!! Overpriced? Hell Yes!! BUT you do pay for convenience and that is that. Will i shop here again...yes...even if I dont really want to it is better then looking forever for what you need.

So this has to do with understanding the demographics and how to saturate areas....There is a certain level of consistency, convenience, and oddness that having one on virtually every other block... kinda like what walgreens does these days in busy metro areas.....

ABC how i love thee.  You can never go wrong with this place.  If you're in Hawaii you'll see this store every block or so in Waikiki I kid you not!As we stayed in Paris we needed to go to a drugstore or liquor store stat!  Walgreen's was out of the question and wasn't within walking distance.  We talked to one on the staff members at Paris and he suggested ABC store at the Miracle Mile Shop located at Planet Hollywood Hotel.  It took about 10 minutes one way (we walked) to get there on a Saturday evening.  We needed water and some drinks for our stay here.  There are two ABC stores in this mall.  We chose whatever was closest and ended up at the "north" ABC location (suite 145).  This store was pretty big.  ABC had what we needed and got in and out of there fairly quickly.  Of course the pricing was skewed slightly higher than usual but we didn't care.  You can even pick up some hawaiian souvenirs if you're up for it.  Macadamia nuts, kona coffee, maui chips, etc. Yay for ABC!

Whether it's Hawaii or Vegas, ABC is there when you need it. Was around midnight and all the other restaurants in the Planet Hollywood/Miracle Mile was closed -- but there was good ole ABC open until 12:30am and I loaded up on my spring water and snacks there. Good prices and good selection of Hawaiian nuts, coffee, cookies and other Hawaiian themed items.Bottom line: Good to see ABC in Vegas!

Minus 1 star for not carrying foil when the PH consigere suggested we go here for foil, and we ended up getting foil for our hookah from Room Service for $2.25 anyways.Minus another star for asking us if we were trying to make a pipe.  I know it's Vegas and all, but I still think that's a little inappropriate to be asking your customers, especially after you can't come through for them for what they're looking for.They got alki here though!

I really like the fact that you can get a variety of Hawaiian products here.  Being that I've never had the opportunity to go to Hawaii, it was nice to be able to browse through the aisles and see the products that I usually get as gifts when people come back from their Hawaiian vacations.We ended up getting pretty much all things macadamian- from the Mauna Loa Kona coffee glazed macadamia nuts to the Kauai Kookie macadamia shortbread cookies.  The only thing that was missing was the macadamia nut toffee, which this ABC didn't carry.  :(
