The Vegaster 7: Top 7 shopping spots in Vegas

Fashion Show Mall: Two million square feet of pure shopping bliss with an emphasis on high end fashion. The Fashion Show Mall has at its center an 80 foot runway where you can see the clothes perform live before making a choice. The best place to stretch your budget is in the two story Forever 21 store. Find it close to the Bally end of the mall.

Forum Shops: The shopping at Caesar’s Palace as much about entertaining as it is about finding that perfect dress. Decked to the nines in Roman architectural elements and statuary, you end up feeling like you are shopping in another time and place. When you’ve had your fill of talking Gods, stretch your budget at the 3 story H&M where they have just about everything you need at a bargain price.

Grand Canyon Experience: This is not a shopping mall per say, but it is the best spot on the strip for that “my boyfriend went to Vegas” t-shirt your supposed to get. The Grand Canyon Experience is a convenience store- souvenir shop. If you are looking for something a little more than a keychain, go upstairs to see their amazing collection of Indian and leather crafts.

Meadows Mall: Meadows Mall is 15 minutes off of the strip, but well worth the trip. And while you will find your high end boutiques scattered about, expect more budget friendly shopping. The big name department stores like JC Penney and Sears are both here for shopping on a budget.

Las Vegas North Premium Outlets: The outlets in downtown Vegas have everything you could think of at bargain prices. This is for the serious shopper who is ready to put a big dent in their VISA card. All the top brands are here, like Kate Spade and Swarovski, but at those outlet store prices you love.

Boulevard Mall: Only about 10 minutes off of the strip is a million square feet of pure shopping bliss. This is where you shop in Vegas when you are looking to bring home a suitcase full of new duds without breaking your budget. Make a day of it and stop off at one of the many salons for a fresh mani-pedi and a new do.

Miracle Mile Shops: Planet Hollywood boasts one of the most unique shopping experiences on the strip. Stop by here and spend the day in a modern mall with all of the classic features you want. 500,000 square feet include over 200 stores, restaurants and live entertainment venues. Make sure to stop by Sephora and get your fill of perfume, make up and all your beauty supplies at some discounted prices.

While many see Vegas as high end shopping only, there are literally hundreds of stores and shops that could satisfy that spending urge and leave you with change for the slots. Next time in town make sure to bring a clean credit card and plenty of empty space in your suitcases.
