Itching to get your Bruce Campbell on? The Zombie Apocalypse has got you covered! From specialized ammo, to stun guns, to exploding (blood filled) targets and clever zombie t shirts, the Zombie Apocalypse is a tongue in cheek survival store, that sells a range of items that would be useful in an apocalyptic or survival situation. The place is located in the outer reaches of Chinatown, so if you happen to be around the area, I highly recommend killing (pun intended) a few minutes to checkout all of the unique survival items on display there. More than likely you will not walk out empty handed.
Cost: Free to visit, prices of merchandise vary.

3. Aces and Ales (info)
This bar located south of the strip is a hidden gem for lovers of craft beer and fine bar food. They boast 22 rotating taps of micro brews such as Stone, Uinta, Sierra Nevada and St. Bernardus and always have a stock of hard to find bottled beers on hand. Aces and Ales also offers a huge selection of food that compliments the beer very well. Of special note, are the 8 varieties of Macaroni and Cheese, an excellent BBQ Chicken Pizza and a generous serving of Cheese Fries smothered in an delicious Beer Battered Chili using Stone's Arrogant Bastard Ales as it's highlight flavor component.
Cost: $10-20 per person
4.Pinball Hall of Fame Museum (info)
Pinball Hall of Fame houses one of the largest collections of Coin Operated Pinball Machines in one area. Here you will find machines from the 1950's- 1990's, all playable and in great working condition. This is a great place to liquidate your built up collection of coinage while trying to beat your high score on Ms. Pacman from youth.
Cost: $2-5 per person
5.Pahrump Winery (info)
Southern Nevada's sole winery, is a short hour's drive from the neon madness of Las Vegas. The Pahrump winery bottles a small variety of Red's, White's and One Dessert Wine on premises, but because of the lack of constant water supply, the grapes are shipped in from neighboring states. The winery offers free tours of the premises detailing the history of the place as well as information about the wine making process. The winery also boasts an excellent cozy little restaurant called Symphony. The menu at symphony pairs really well with the selection of wines on hand and for under a $100, four people can dine quite nicely. My recommendations include the Pulled Pork Sandwich paired with the Red Zinfandel and the Lobster Bisque Soup paired with the Symphony White.
Cost: Dinner is $25 per person including free wine tastings of up to 7 different glasses. $5 additional tasting.
6.Lake Pahranagat (info)
North of city limits is the tiny wildlife refuge of Lake Pahranagat. This is the perfect place to chill out and camp for a night during the end of summer and beginning of fall as temperatures tend to be 10-15 degrees cooler than Las Vegas. The lake offers up some fishing and camp sites as well as a few hiking trails and springs nearby. Here you will find may types of birds such as Red Tail Hawks, Blue Herons and Several Species of Ducks, and desert dwellers such as Coyotes and the occasional Desert Fox.
Cost: Rental Car is $13-29 a day.

Zombie Apocalypse!! What a crazy looking store! I wouldn't think something like that would be in Las Vegas of all places. Maybe more fitting for Los Angeles where half the people are zombies already lol! Nice blog you have here sir.
