Okay, we agree! The 'Sin City'  has many charms to it, drawing sinners, ahem, we mean people from all over the world. The seemingly unending crowd, the 24 hours bustling casinos and that broodish 'I don't care' attitude marks Vegas with an appeal that is hard to forget. Of course, you don't need a memorabilia to remember this place (the happening memories will be there to haunt you forever and even propel you to come back!), yet it is always a great idea to keep a thing or two from your Las Vegas trip to relive those amazing travel moments.

For those who are planning a trip to this entertainment hotspot soon, here are our recommendations for the best Las Vegas souvenirs that you have to have in your bags on your Las Vegas return. Check them out!

It was designed by Betty Willis in 1959 to add some zing to the city's character and my, it has done it so well!
