Shopping in Las Vegas is almost as big a deal as casinos, nightlife, fine dining and showboating super-hotels. There are literally thousands of retailers across Sin City, all primed and waiting to send your credit card into meltdown. We’re talking everything from luxury boutiques at Caesars to hip container parks, edge-of-town designer outlets and, for fans seeking the ultimate sugar rush, an M&Ms megastore. Ready to give your bank manager a fright? Then let’s go shopping!
The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace
The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace
Yearning for shopping that’s fit for a Roman emperor? You’ve come to the right place. Roman-style columns, arches, fountains and murals set the scene and, well, if there’s anywhere toting more marble surfaces than this place in Vegas, we’ve yet to see it. Inside this gilded cavern of capitalism, you’ll find 150+ stores, running the gamut from luxury retail legends like Tiffany & Co, Armani and Lalique, to more affordable high-street stalwarts including H&M, Kiehl’s and Juicy Couture. Heck, there’s even a car showroom in here.
Plunder the stores for togas, tiaras and other trinkets, and expect plenty of spectacle – fountain shows, aquariums and animatronics – along the way.
Downtown Container Park

Downtown Container Park
You can’t miss the uber-trendy Container Park in Downtown Las Vegas: it’s the one with the giant praying mantis guarding the entrance – its flaming antennae and ear-shattering sound system hinting at what you might expect to find inside. Comprised of multiple re-purposed shipping containers and locally manufactured metal cubes, this place is as much entertainment hub as shopping destination. Expect plenty of super-trendy indie boutiques, with no two retailers offering the same products – cool, huh? There are also restaurants, further Insta-tastic sculptures and a massive slide and water-play area in the central courtyard to keep the kids entertained while parents fill their shopping bags with unique art pieces, handcrafted jewelry and retro candies.
Pro-tip: pair your shopping adventure with discounted entry to Downtown attractions available on the Las Vegas pass: the Mob Museum, the Neon Museum and a Fremont Street walking tour, to name just a few.
Fashion Show Mall
Located across from Wynn Las Vegas at the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Spring Mountain Road, this shopping wonderland is prime Strip real estate. More than 250 stores – including seven big-name anchors (hello, Macy’s, Apple and Saks Fifth Avenue!) – join restaurants like The Capital Grille and Maggiano's Little Italy (plus dozens more delicious and diverse eateries scattered throughout) for a mall-meets-mealtime extravaganza that’s loved by tourists and locals alike.
Pro-tip: use the Big Bus Las Vegas (included with the Las Vegas pass, natch) to hop on and off at malls and attractions along the Strip and beyond.
The Shops at Crystals
The Shops at Crystals
Not for the faint of heart (or low of bank balance), this super-luxury complex is where it’s at for all your top-end designer duds and trinkets. We’re talking 500,000 square feet of luxury goods from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Bulgari, Cartier, Fendi and Hermès. Big spenders might even be inclined to go the whole hog and shell out for some luxury Louis Vuitton to carry their priceless haul safely home. Naturally, a place of such quality and distinction also promises luxury dining, as well as several eye-popping art galleries and elegant interior design featuring ice sculptures and water features.
Pro-tip: in-keeping with its regal vibe, Crystals also plays host to an exhibition dedicated to Princess Diana, featuring elegant evening dresses, handwritten letters and other trinkets that once belonged to Lady Di. Entry to the exhibition is included with the Las Vegas pass. You can also experience the immersive world of Van Gogh here.
M&M’s World Las Vegas
Need a sugar fix? Look no further than the Showcase Mall, home to the four-story M&Ms World, plus a Hard Rock Café, FlyOver Las Vegas and, as trailed by the 100-foot-high Coca-Cola bottle that marks its facade, a Coca-Cola Store. Little prepares you for the sensory assault when you step through the doors of M&Ms World. Those colorful little guys are everywhere – everywhere – you look. We’re talking great kaleidoscopic columns of self-serve candies, super-sized video screens showing M&Ms cartoons, even dancing troupes of life-sized M&Ms. Kids will absolutely love it, though you may have to scrape yours off the ceiling following the most intense sugar rush of their little lives. Adults, tearfully clutching bags and bags of M&Ms merch, may wish to repair to the Brewdog bar up on the roof afterwards to recharge and lick financial wounds.
Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian
Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian
For a unique shopping experience, mosey over to the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian, where gondoliers ferry shoppers to upscale stores along a replica of Venice’s Grand Canal. It’s a whimsical bit of roleplay, designed to woo the unwary passenger into stumbling straight out of the boat and straight into an eye-wateringly expensive Dior diamond choker. Sure, you can window shop here too, but where’s the fun in that? Get that credit card primed for action and go full Italian fashionista mode at Cartier, Jimmy Choo, Michael Kors and more.
Pro-tip: Take a break from all that shopping to schmooze with Miley, Kourtney, The Rock and others in Madame Tussauds Las Vegas – entry is included with your Las Vegas pass, and you’ll find the legendary wax museum on level two at the Venetian.
Grand Bazaar Shops
Strip favorite Horseshoe is home to the Grand Bazaar Shops. This colorful series of tent-like buildings and stalls blends the feel of an open-air market with the sensory extravaganza that is the Vegas Strip for an intoxicating combo that will have the whole family buzzing. Shopping is only half the story here though, where there are also several bars and restaurants, an escape room, a nightly light show, and a karaoke joint where caterwauling is positively encouraged.
Pro-tip: entry to the Real Bodies exhibition at the Horseshoe is included with the Las Vegas pass.
Las Vegas North Premium Outlets
Las Vegas North Premium Outlets
The Premium Outlets (as locals call it), is located in Downtown Las Vegas, just north of the Strip. Wear comfortable shoes and pack a few energy snacks, because this cavernous cathedral of capitalism covers some 40 acres and is home to nearly 200 outlet stores, including popular brands like Ann Taylor, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Nautica, Disney, Coach, DKNY, Versace and more. The indoor/outdoor vibe allows visitors to enjoy the fine Vegas weather and the bargains here (price tags are often well below high-street levels) should leave you plenty of cash for late-night adventures back on the Strip.
Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood
Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile – billed as ‘Hollywood meets Times Square on the Vegas Strip’ is quite the wild ride. Its circular mall packs in around 170 retailers, including big names like Mac, Oakley and Pop Mart. But that’s only the half of it. As well as 30+ bars, restaurants, diners and dessert stores, there’s also a faux-sky ceiling overhead, that comes complete with regular (simulated) rainstorms, thunder, lightning and fog effects. If the weather outside is even worse, you can also slip into any number of world-class shows at the mall, from zombie burlesque (yep, you read that right) to comedy, magic and musical tributes.
Pro-tip: catch shows including Carpenters Legacy and Elton John tribute Piano Man here with the Las Vegas pass from Go City.
