Fashion ShowOn the
corner of Spring Mountain and Las Vegas Blvd, across from TI and
Wynn Fashion Show is easily spotted via the giant UFO-esc pavilion
overhead. Over 30 million visit Fashion Show each year and within
are over 2 million square feet of shopping. One of the most unique
features is an 80 ft. retractable runway so fashion shows may be
held right there in the mall.
Forum Shops at Caesars Palace
Set up like a small Venetian village, Forum Shops are beautiful
with a sky canopy that gives and outdoor feel to the experience. At
the center is the Atlantis Fountain show with talking statues. Forum
Shops are a great place to visit or shop, with a number of very
popular retailers including Ann Taylor, Hugo Boss, Banana Republic,
Guess, Estee Lauder’s, and much more. And if you get hungry stop by
Cheesecake Factory.
Grand Canal Shoppes at the
Venetian
Another Venetian village with a sky-blue canopy, what sets Grand
Canal Shoppes apart from Forum Shops is the canal that runs straight
through where romancing couples can take a gondola ride. Some of the
shops that you will find are Bebe, Peter Lik gallery, Sephora, and
all types of baubles, masks, and other odds and ends can be found at
the various shops around St. Mark’s Square.
Hawaiian Marketplace
Hey bra! If you’re into Hawaiian than Hawaiian Marketplace is a
dream come true. It is modeled after the Marketplace in Honolulu
with bright colors and tropical plants, located in front of Polo
Towers. There are a lot of food choices naturally, mostly Asian
Island in taste from China Star Buffet to Kapit Bahay. You’ll find a
variety of vendors and stand-alone carts throughout the area selling
themed jewelry, art, temporary tattoos, and much more.
Las Vegas Outlet Center
If you want low prices on the on Las Vegas Blvd, you have to go
way south. Not technically the Strip, but a short drive South on the
blvd you’ll find Las Vegas Outlet Center featuring shops with name
brands at outlet prices including Charlotte Russe, Pac Sun
Aeropastale, Hurley, and much more. Within take the kids on the
indoor carousel.
Le Boulevard at Paris Las Vegas
Inside the Paris Hotel, yet another blue-sky canopy – it is the
trend for indoor Vegas Strip shopping, these shops have an old Paris
theme though with quaint buildings and cobbled streets. Not as large
as some of the Strip shopping centers, but you will find many unique
boutiques selling all kinds of interesting bric-a-brac like Les
Elements and Les Enfants.
Mandalay Place
Inside Mandalay by, look for great outlets like DuO, LUSH, Maude,
Max & Co., Art of Shaving, and much more in a cozy upscale
environment.
Miracle Mile Shops at Planet
Hollywood
We’re not sure if it is technically a full mile, but there are
170 stores and 15 restaurants within Planet Hollywood. If you want
it you can find it here from H&M ultra trendy fashion, Urban
Outfitter, Wild Pair, and about 167 others. Miracle Mile is always
busy and has a bright futuristic theme.
Showcase Mall
You’ll first see the M&M motif outside on the Strip next to MGM.
The biggest draws within the Showcase Mall include M&M’s World,
GameWorks which is a multimillion dollar arcade, World of Coca-Cola,

The Shops at Cosmopolitan

the Cosmopolitan across from Planet Hollywood. They will have a
trendy theme with shops carrying youthful brands like AllSaints
British apparel, CRSVR (pronounced crossover) with various sneakers,
DNA2050, Droog, and more.
The Shoppes at The Palazzo
Inside the Palazzo naturally, which is next to the Venetian. The
Shoppes at The Palazzo are a beautiful high-end assortment of unique
boutiques, the center of which is the 85,000 sq ft Barneys regularly
visited by celebrities and also popular in NY. Some of the shops
include Ice Jewelry, Michael Kors, Diane Von Furstenberg, Jimmy Choo,
and COACH.
Town Square
Also located south of the Strip, but on Las Vegas Blvd, the them
is similar to that of the indoor Venetian mall, but actually
outdoors with quaint, slightly larger architecture with a colonial
feel, no canal, and instead of a sky canopy, the actual sky. Town
Square is huge, full of popular mostly local nightclubs and bars, a
picnic and park area, and 18-screen theatre. Some of the shops one
will find include Abercrombie and Fitch, Aeropostale, Hollister,
Metropark, Aldo, Banana Republic, Sephora, MAC, and many other
trendy outlets.
Via Bellagio
This is where you want to be for high-end luxury shopping. True
to Bellagio’s theme, here you will find only the most luxurious
shops and items for sale. Some of the shops include Tiffany & Co,
Chanel, Giorgio Armani, and Prada.
Wynn Esplanade
Inside the Wynn, here you will find many exclusive-to-Vegas
shops. Alexander McQueen, Dior, Cartier, La Flirts, and Manolo
Blahniks Wynn Esplanade features a beautiful layout with skylights
and high ceilings given the feel one is walking through a palace
lined with shops.
Pharmacies/Supermarkets
If you want an actual supermarket on the Strip, you are out of
luck. Most of the casinos have at least one shop though which will
sell a few essentials, plus drinks and snacks and other items,
however for a lot more than you would pay just a few blocks away.
There is one Walgreen’s on the Strip across from CityCenter. Again,
you will pay prices a quite a bit higher than you may be accustomed
to. |
