Hotel Shopping Areas in Las Vegas
Most Las Vegas hotels now have shopping areas. Some large and some small but you can always find a little something to take home with you. You will need some to remember this trip by.
Mandalay Place is built on a walkway between the Mandalay Bay and Luxor hotel with 41 shops and restaurants. Walk into 55 degree wine and see their display of fine wines or have a Kobe Burger at the Burger Bar. They have done a good job of making high end shop seem inviting. Y
The Via Bellagio is a collection of high end shops with pretentious people who do not realize they work retail. The space is a wonderful combination of high glass ceilings and bright polished marble. If you look through the windows on the south side you get a great view of the Bellagio fountains. It’s small and the shops seem uninviting unless you have big money to burn.
This is high end shopping taken to another level. WARNING: If you are a parent with a stroller, they will refuse your business. Apparently, they do not want us inside. As I made my way to the door with my 4 month old I was told that, per Mr. Wynn, no strollers are allowed in the resort. They do allow you to check your kid in baggage claim. Maybe not your kid but your stroller. Do I come off as bitter?
Gondola rides and cobbled stone walkways impress you as you make your way through the corridors of the Grande Canal Shoppes. Mostly high end shops with a few of the regular mall residents thrown in for those of us with a little less cash. You will be impressed by the arched walkways and the winding canals that make you ask yourself why you didn’t go to Europe instead.
This is what a mall should be like, fine restaurants, a few talking statues, a 50,000 gallon salt water aquarium and a giant toy store. Sure they have 170 shops and it’s a fantastic place to people watch but with Meatloaf at Spago’s and a bottle of wine who has time to shop?
Over 140 shops at the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. The Mall circles the entire casino offering restaurants and shopping from 10 a.m. daily
