Vegas 808

If you’re from Hawaii, you can get a lot of this stuff at home. If you’re from Hawaii like me and live in Seattle, you can get some of this stuff but it’s not always convenient.
Located inside the California, it was a quick walk from my hotel. I wandered over in search of local food and some snacks. It’s a small store that makes use of every bit of space. The goodies hanging in bags remind me of when I was a kid — brightly colored sugary popcorn, iso peanuts, beef jerky, cuttlefish, seeds, and more! It’s fairly low-​key. The cashier gave me time and space to «ooh» and «ahh» about things I hadn’t seen/​eaten in a long time. The beef jerky selection is pretty big and pretty good if meat is your thing.
I grabbed a bunch of bags and kept walking up to the counter where a rather large pile began to grow. Great place to feel like a kid in a candy store — literally! Prices are a bit high but everything is expensive in the area so that’s not a huge deal.

Why would people from Hawaii buy Hawaiian type snacks?
Answer: Omiyage!
When you return home to Hawaii, the custom is to bring something back from your travels to give to family, coworkers, and friends.
Vegas 808 is a very convenient store for this purpose. Hawaii locals are known for multicultural snacking. We know the best foods from almost every culture. This shop has arare, lup cheong, mochi, beef jerkey, cookies, candies, nuts, dried clams, cuttlefish, preserved veggies and fruits, etc. The variety is amazing!
Credit cards are accepted and shipping is available. The service today was lacking. .Most times it’s friendly… just saying…
Prices are not the best, but it’s so conveniently located inside the California Hotel on the Mezzanine Level. It’s a one-​stop shop for every palate! Yum yum!

Li hing sour belts! So deliciously yummy! Jerky is soft and flavorful.
A bit pricey, around $ 8/​bag. But worth it! I raid this store everytim, e in Vegas. Different things to buy. Wish they would let us sample…

Rushed over there on our last night in vegas (bumbai her mom rage bcuz we never get her chosen omiyage!) So we got there and was closed! Luckily uncle was still finishing up his inventory in the store and saw our shocked/​grueling faces through the window lol. He was so kind and let us in to get our dried fruits, chocolate chip cookie chips, special leup chong, and a bunch of other goodies. After adding it up on the handheld calculator, we departed with two big bags and everyone in kindred spirits: D

I love the lap chuan here pricy but yummy yum yum. The gummy frogs are my favorite along with the sweet and hot jerky. If you show your receipts they will refund the 5.00 parking.

So disappointed! Was really craving Lihing gummy bears like the ones you find on the islands! These were awful!!! I def will not be patronizing this joint again! Also, I think there prices are a bit inflated. Would be willing to pay if the product met expectations!

Do you ship to hawaii or sell to hawaii. can u LMK.
JEFF K. Want to buy cookies and bagel chips? please Lmk

The only place in vegas to get your hawaii snack fix! !!! Loca 2^nd floor of the california hotel next to the ice cream store. Parking can be validated for the hotel with purchase receipt from store. Good pricing and friendly staff.

My Li Hing fix outside of Hawaii!

Best beef jerky in Vegas. Try the super soft brisket jerky. Teriyaki is my favorite. They’re open till 10 pm, 7 days a week.

love this place always come here. it’s basically a snack shop with li hing gummie bears, candy coated sunflower seeds, mois /​preserves, sour pink pigs, chocolate gummie bears regular ones and flavored ones .get the flavored gummie bears ! they have dried tako/​octopus and green tea dipped chocolates’ and a lot more goodies. yummie gummies ! .oh bring cash. not sure if they take cards .you’ll go a little crazy in here I think ! oh they don’t have bagel chips anymore haven’t in a long time.

This is always on my list when visiting the area. Definitely has a ‘kid-​in-​a-​candy-​shop’ vibe, especially if you like Hawaiian/​Asian snacks. The store was closed the night before we were playing @ the Cal (around 2am) and we had our faces pressed up to the window tallying up what we wanted to buy before leaving the next day. Make sure to try the gummi frogs and white chocolate covered gummi bears… can’t seem to find them anywhere but here! Shop wisely as things quickly add up but it’s def worth it!

PROS
+Awesome selection of beef jerky
+Good hours-​open fairly late
+Wide variety of snacks available
+Shipping services available for orders over $ 100 (they pack the box for you)
CONS
–Discontinued selling bagel chips
–Items are a little pricey
–Customer service not all that great
I have to agree with Nathan N’s review-​you can get a lot of these products from Hawaii. If that’s where you’re visiting from, you can probably skip a trip to this store unless of course you need a beef jerky fix. That’s probably the only thing I will go for the next time I’m in this area. They have a nice variety of beef jerky that comes in a couple different sizes. They also have beef jerky nuggets which I’m not particularly a fan of because it’s kind of on the wet side and not as dry as traditional beef jerky.
The store is convenient if you’re staying downtown LV as it’s located on the second floor of The California Hotel & Casino. Although they have a wide variety of snacks, I don’t plan on shopping there regularly when I’m in town as I found myself automatically comparing it to Wholesale Unlimited, which is a local store in Hawaii that carries all of these snacks and even more. Wholesale Unlimited is a Vegas 808 on steroids. However, if you haven’t tried any of these local Hawaii snacks, you should definitely stop by Vegas 808 because they do offer a lot of snacks you wouldn’t normally find at a grocery or convenience store in Las Vegas.

Located inside the California Hotel Casino Downtown. As compared to the Beef Jerky Store in the Las Vegas Club the selection here is small plus the store is small but the goodies they have are good the candies and jerky are great snacks to munch on while playing your favorite slots lol.

Pretty cool spot!
You know this a pretty neat spot when you stop here right after eating downstairs at the Market Street Café buffet for breakfast and still be able to stock up on a crap load of snacks! It’s pretty pricey but everything is so good and unique.
I wanted to buy everything! This is what I bought:
— Smoked salmon beef jerky. It was just okay. I thought it needed to be marinated in whatever it was marinated in a lot longer. The flavor just wasn’t there. But it was ok for munching. $ 12.99 for a small bag.
— Tropical popcorn. I haven’t opened this yet but it looks so good! It’s actually popcorn with tropical flavors such as lime, raspberry, coconut, watermelon, apple, etc. It looks delish though! $ 4.99 for a small bag.
— Chocolate covered peanuts. It looks like rocks! I haven’t opened this yet either but it looks so good! $ 5.99 for a small bag.
— Vegetable chips. Pretty good! Lots of different veggies sliced and either fried or baked to crunchy goodness. Yum! I think this was either $ 4.99 or $ 6.99 for a small bag.
I wanted to try the chocolate covered sunflower seeds and the pearl chocolates. I so more wanted to buy these because they were absolutely gorgeous looking. LOL. The pearls looked so real and the sunflower seeds were just beautiful!
This small shop carries a ton of other snacks to like dried mangos, plums, chocolates, etc. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in downtown Vegas!

Thrilled to see that this shop is still here after discovering it years ago! I always manage to forget how much ½ lb of jerky is until later when I start snacking on the huge package I bought.
One day I’m going to brave some of the snacks I’ve never heard of outside of this place.

This place is located in the California hotel.
I can’t believe I almost forgot to write a review for this place.
My friend just came back from Vegas and bought me half pound of beef jerky peppered and once I opened that bag up my memory of vegas came back.
Oh but the jerky here is super delicious and flavorful. The peppered jerky is made from brisket of beef (which is all in my tummy after a day) is so tender and addictive. I’m almost tempted to call Shige O. to ship me some since he lives out there: P
Aside from jerky this place is pretty much like a crack seed store except with less variety.
Its pretty much a taste of hawaii in a sense. I’d recommend them for the jerky, so go and check it out if you’re in the California Hotel!

They don’t carry bagel chips anymore and everything in there is easy found in Hawaii. If you’re from the mainland and looking for treats from Hawaii, I’d recommend asking a friend to send it to you.

Snacks galore! Load up and get all the candy and li hing mui to last you until your next Vegas visit. Here are a few faves that I always load up on:
— Mini Britecrawlers: tinier versions of the regular sour gummy worms. My fave.
— Sour strips
— Gummy piggies
— Li Hing gummy bears
— Chocolate covered almonds
— Chocolate covered bing cherries
— Teriyaki jerky
Too much to list. If you like all the snack stores and crack seed in Hawaii, come by and get some of your favorites. The goodies are always changing and their candies are always fresh. Air-​tight packaging guarantees that the snacks are not stale. If you need help locating it it is right across from Aloha Specialties on the second floor of the Cal.

After lunch nextdoor we decided to take a look.
They have snacks like jerky, lui hing covered items, all kinds of flavored plums, dried fruits, a few Japanese treats (like rice cakes, dried hokkugai, hello panda), candies like malt balls, chocolate covered potato chips, gummi bears, etc.
I was checking their jerky out and some of their jerky varieties are soft. The BF likes soft jerky but has trouble finding it. We got both a brisket meat variety ($ 7.50) in sweet& spicy and peppered. We also got chocolate covered potato chips ($ 7.95).
All were pretty good. I don’t really come to the California that often, but glad I stopped in.
