Look Inside The Oft-Overlooked Coca-Cola Store in Las Vegas

Key Points:

• The Coca-Cola Store is stocked with an absurd variety of branded merchandise ranging from art to earbuds.

• The “Around the World Tray”, which allows you to sample popular soda options from other countries, is a blast.

A Coca-Cola Store in Las Vegas is ironic, as the brand is almost non-existent in the resorts that surround it.

Las Vegas is essentially a “Coke Desert” with the majority of Strip resorts having exclusive deals with the brand’s arch-rival, Pepsi.

With that in mind, a store devoted to all things Coke feels like a form of protest. Almost like a middle finger to the status quo.

While not a “Coke superfan” personally, I burned my gambling budget and swung in for a visit.

Why It’s a Worthwhile Stop

A Wild Merchandise Assortment

While the typical assortment of shirts and hats was available, I was impressed with the “off the wall” items that weren’t expected.

That included soda can-shaped pillows, luggage, Christmas ornaments, “old-timey” looking wall art, model cars and trucks, earbuds, pocket watches, and even sculptures made from shredded soda cans.

I also thought it was cool/nostalgic that many items for sale had historic logos from a bygone era.

Here are a bunch of photos from inside the Coca-Cola store to give you an idea of what’s for sale:

The Soda Bar

On the top floor of the store is a soda bar that sells soda (obviously), floats, coffee, Icees, and snacks like chips and pretzels.

The “Around the World Tray” is the main draw, loaded with 16 sparkling and still beverages from around the world. I’ve now tackled the tray 3 times, and had the most fun with it when my kids were along, who were shocked by what’s considered “good” in other countries.

The Beverly… my God. Italians are wild, man.

If you’re looking for family-friendly activities on The Strip, consider this a great option.

Photo Ops

There are a handful of places to snap a Coke-themed photo around the store, which could be a fun addition to a vacation photo album.

Reasons to Skip It

A Mess at the Soda Bar

Crowds, kids, and soda don’t mix. There were a few spots in the cafe area where it felt as though my shoe was stuck to the ground, and that stickiness was detectable on my shoe for half the day.

Not a deal breaker by any stretch, just watch where you step if you venture upstairs.

It’s Just a Store…

To some, this is the appeal. To others, this is a reason to steer clear. Ultimately, I think you’ll know by now if this is the type of store that interests you and your group.
