The gift shop is owned by Crazy Ely and is a typical souvenir shop. Glasses, T-shirts, and knick-knacks galore.

Free parking downtown is now gone unless you are a registered guest at one of the hotels. The hotel casino parking garages charge different rates for hourly parking, most are $2.00 for an hour. You can also park on-street (not on Fremont Street) at one of the pay meters.
There are 8 other penny machines within a 15 minute walking distance of this machine.

Machine 1 is just inside the store. It's a $1 debit or credit card charge per design. Pre-loaded with Zinc pennies.
