First Guinness store in U.S. to open in Vegas
March 16, 2011 - 11:18 am
How fitting for St. Patrick's Day.
The first Guinness store in the United States will open today in the Shoppes at Mandalay Place on the Strip, according to a published report.
The 1,500-foot store will sell Guinness-branded merchandise, USA Today reports, including pint glasses, hats, shirts and Las Vegas-themed clothing.
The report said the store will offer the biggest selection of Guinness-branded items in one spot outside of Ireland.
Visitors won't be able sample the world's best-selling stout in the store, USA Today notes -- but they will be able to purchase a customized official Guinness pint glass with their names or with the date of their trip to Las Vegas.
