Shop Till You Drop in Las Vegas

With so many other things to do in this fabulous city, you may not think of going to Las Vegas for the shopping, but it is truly a shopper’s paradise. From outlet malls to the ritziest boutiques, to souvenir shops on the street, there is something for everyone who wants to shop in Las Vegas. The Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace offer a wealth of unique items, and there are plenty of upscale shops, such as Christian Dior, Fendi, and Gucci, to name a few.

All of the strip casinos have their special shops as well, but if you’re looking for a bargain, you might want to head on out to the Las Vegas Outlet Mall. It has 130 shops, including Nike and Levi’s and several shoe stores as well. You can take the Deuce all the way to the mall and if you get hungry, there’s a food court there so you can easily spend all day at the mall. There’s also the Fashion Show Mall, which is right on the strip, and it has over 250 shops and restaurants, including Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Nordstrom.

If you have a little time between flights, do some shopping at McCarran International Airport. McCarran is the kind of airport that you want to have some time to spend in because, between all the slot machines, shops, and dining choices, it is a fun adventure in itself. If you happen to forget to take home a souvenir, you can find numerous options at the airport, including treasures from some of the famous strip hotels. Even if you didn’t stay at one of the grand resorts, you can act as if you did just by shopping at the airport. You’ll find shot glasses and other souvenirs from Treasure Island, Bellagio, MGM, and others. You can also get some delectable candy at the airport, including chocolates for the chocolate lover on your list.

Grand Canal Shoppes

This is a must see, must do, even if you’re just window shopping. Laid out to replicate St. Mark’s square, the canal shoppes offer an ambiance so rich you’ll think you’ve died and gone to Venice.  There’s a strolling juggler and opera singers to keep you entertained and you can also lunch at the food court, which has a great variety of dining options at a decent price. Take home a hand blown glass figurine or a Venetian labeled souvenir or just browse the day away. Whether you’re looking for top notch merchandise or are just out for a leisurely stroll, the Grand Canal Shoppes offer an experience like no other shopping venue in Vegas.
