Shop till you drop at the Las Vegas Outlet Center

Maybe you are a jet-setter, and think nothing of hopping across Europe in a weekend to hit the shopping Meccas in Venice, Paris, and Rome.  Maybe you even throw in an extra couple of days to hop across the Atlantic and give New York your attention.  If, however, you’re like most of us, the only way you will ever experience what it’s like to shop in the world’s most unusual cities is to visit what may be the most unusual of them all, Las Vegas.

Limiting your jet travel to flying in and out of McCarran Airport will still let you browse the delightful shops of Venice at the Grand Canal Shoppesof the Venetian Hotel.  Stay in Italy and browse among the gods of Olympus at the Caesar’s Palace Forum Shops, before heading across Flamingo Boulevard to the elegant retail experience at Via Bellagio. 

From there, you can stroll across the Strip and directly into the sunny streets of Le Boulevardat Paris Las Vegas (the only place in the US where you can buy Lenotre chocolates), which will put you within a stone’s throw not only of Monte Carlo, but of New York, New York!  Vegas shopping may be fabulous, but it’s got nothing on Las Vegas geography! 

You don’t, however, have to pass through a casino every time you need to feed your shopping monkey.  Bypass the one-armed bandits completely by heading across the street from Treasure Island to the 250+ shops and restaurants of the Fashion Show Mall, where Macy’s, Saks, and Nordstrom’s await. 

If you want to save some of your money for other Las Vegas pursuits, you can limit your shopping expenditures by taking advantage of the bargains at the Las Vegas Outlet Center.  You’ll find all the top fashion brands, including Coach, Nine West, and Off Saks 5th Avenue.  Off the Strip in downtown Las Vegas (great if you’re staying at Fremont Street) is the Las Vegas Premium Outlets shopping center with more than 150 discount stores! 

Turn your shopping spree into a family outing by going to the Town Square, just south of Mandalay Bay on the Strip.  There’s a kiddie park with a carousel, tree house,  maze, and a movie theater in addition to the shops and restaurants. No matter what your shopping itch, Las Vegas  is the place to get it scratched!
