Can I ask where the comic book store is? My son loves watching The Big Bang Theory (wants to be Sheldon!) and he would love to go in a comic store like the one on TV.
This is the one we plan to visit:

Its a few blocks off the strip, but we plan to head there and the Atomic Testing Museum on the same walk, and thats about halfway between the store on the strip. (And a stop for some Ellis Island BBQ on the way back!)0 -

Quick question - my partner and i are looking at las Vegas as a holiday destination this year. The flights and accommodation I've found at a reasonable price, but what would be a good amount to factor in for spends? I figure food would be cheap enough, but for shows, excursions and outings what would be a reasonable amount? I wouldn't want to get there and realise id not taken enough. Las Vegas doesn't seem to be a place you'd wanna do half ar5ed0

It gets asked a lot and it just depends on what you want to do...food can be cheap, but can also be expensive - just depends on what you want and if you know where to look for the good deals...as for everything else, it is really just too relative...some shows are available very cheap or free some have tickets at $150+...same for excursions...a bus trip to the Outlet Mall in Primm will be a lot cheaper than a flight to the GC.
Best to do some research of what you want to do and get some idea of prices...we generally book shows/excursions before we go so we don't have to worry about paying for them when there...though sometimes we will go to a show booked while there.
It really is a question you could get a huge range of answers for for obvious reasons...you can spend very little or a huge amount depending on what you want to do.Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?0 -

Not easy to give an amount as everyone spends differently, my advice would be to decide what shows/excursions you want to do and price it up here ( I book most things before I go). As for food if you read earlier posts you can do it cheap,$20/day or pay a lot more for fine dining.
Then of course there is your gambling money (that is if you do gamble!),again I have a budget per day for this.0
