Fashion Hunt
While Las Vegas may be known to gambling and casino, cannot
you look past all the options trading available to the traveler in Las Vegas.
There are plenty of places to go shopping in Las Vegas, and you may lose some
money in the shops - at least you have something to take home with you -
something that the blackjack table might forget to do.
The Range has a ton of options to purchase for you. Most
mega-resort casinos have some sort of shopping center connected to their free games casino.
Caesar's Palace Forum Shops is connected to the casino. It
is a popular place for tourists and locals to go out, grab a bite to eat or
shop. Store include everything from GapKids and Guess? Louis Vuitton, Gucci,
Burberry and among its 150 stores. The restaurants include Planeta Hollywood
and the popular Cheesecake Factory. Or if you're looking for something a little
different, you can get sushi at Sushi Roku or try Wolfgang Puck Spago. There
are shops for everyone here, or you are a good place to people watch or check
out the shows source.
Across the street from the Forum Shops are the Grand Canal
Shoppes at the Venetian. This huge mall has canals with gondolas and the city
of Venice. you can wander the cobbled streets or take a ride in a gondola.
Anyway, there are a ton of shops and restaurants to enjoy, as well as numerous
street artists around the mall. One of the interesting things about the Grand
Canal Shoppes is that the ceiling is painted like the sky and lit like - so,
along with the channel is almost as if you're strolling the streets of Venice.
If you're playing Paris Hilton for a day and feel as though
the Gap, Anthropologie, and similar stores are below you, head over to the Wynn
or the Bellagio. The stores in these spots are definitely for the shopper who
doesn't care. At these spots you'll find Chanel, Christian Dior, Manolo Blahnik
as well as a bunch of other stores named after French guys with names that are
hard to pronounce. And don't stop at clothing, in the Wynn be sure to stop at
the Ferrari Maserati dealership located in the casino.
Fashion Show Mall is located on the corner of Spring
Mountain and Las Vegas. This mall located in the middle of the strip is like
any other mall with hundreds of stores to choose from. The only difference is
that, well, there's a fashion show at various times throughout the day. You've
seen them on t.v., the models strutting down walkways - well now you can see it
live. Not only that, but the Fashion Show Mall is a great place to stop and
rest and take a break from the heat if you're hiking the strip.
Not too far from the strip are two outlet malls - both of
which you can catch shuttles to from numerous casinos and hotels. The Las Vegas
Premium Outlets are located north of the strip, close to downtown. This outlet
mall contains your standard outlet mall fare - Polo, Calvin Klein, Ann Taylor.
This is an outdoor mall - so it's a little tough in the hottest months, but
extremely pleasant during the winter, spring, and fall months. The other outlet
center, called Las Vegas Outlet Center is located south on Las Vegas Blvd. and
is completely indoors. Again - standard outlet mall fare includes Coach,
Addidas, and Tommy Hilfiger. There is also a giant carousel that the kiddies
might enjoy.
Come to Las Vegas and get your gamble on - but don't forget
to save a few chips, time, and energy for the many shopping experiences that
Sin City has to offer.
