Shopping in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a real shopper’s paradise, with its brash unashamed consumerist pitch. Here you will find almost anything you would expect to see in London or Los Angelus, plus a whole lot you will find nowhere else, like Ginger Rodger’s 7.02 carat marquis diamond engagement ring or the world’s largest carved emerald, both on display at Bellagio in Fred Leighton.

The Las Vegas Valley has over 30 million square feet of retail space offering a staggering range of goods for sale. The Strip is the heart of the shopping area, with upscale boutiques tending to be located in the newer resorts along the southern half. The is no need to wander outside of Las Vegas Blvd unless you are looking for factory outlets or middleclass malls. Downtown and the Westside are the areas to to look for naughty adult goods and trashy lingerie. Maryland Parkwat, on the Eastside has dozens of record shops and other hip stores catering to the college crowd.

Malls still dominate the scene, although many megaresorts also have good-value speciality shops. Trendy one-off fashion boutiques are scarce, but are beginning to open on the fringes of the Strip as fashion tastes mature.
