Oh, I agree, hardware stores can be pretty boring. A Fry's though can get very exciting, and very expensive. :)
I think it was a Cabella's in Las Vegas where we went. Huge store, with a full-sized one engine plane hanging from the ceiling, stuffed animals everywhere. They actually had two bowling lanes and some other game that I didn't get to try. I thought it was pretty awesome. I need to fish out those pictures :)
