Vegas has about 4 main shopping complexes that are huge and extravagant. Two of them are our kind of shops; cheap affordable brands and the other two are your designer label - Prada, Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana and Burberry. The designer label shopping is still very expensive and although we looked through it we did not dare enter into the shops. We stuck to the more affordable ones and the shopping is just amazing, cheap and variety galore. We often had to stop to rest. We didn't buy many clothes but we did buy a lot of hats, Tim his beloved fedora's and my Cloche's.
I guess what blew us away the most was that in Vegas you can shop and drink all at the same time. I don't mean sitting in a bar in a shopping complex and having a beer, or daiquiri, I mean buying your alcoholic beverage of choice from a counter in the middle of the complex or even from anywhere outside along the strip and walking into Prada while sipping your beer, trying garments on with a beer in your hand. It was too bizarre. Tim reckons it would make men more interested in shopping. I wonder how many people make intoxicated purchases they later regret.
In each shopping complex there is some kind of display. For example in one there is a rain storm that happens every hour and water falls like rain from the ceiling and there is wind, thunder and lightening. In another shopping complex there were these lame mini statue shows like Sammy seal at Smorgy's. Tim of course loved it because it involved fire and smoke and all those things that the male inner boy loves!
We stumbled across a real estate section in one of the shops and were absolutely amazed at how cheap it was. As you can see by the picture, a simple 3 bedroom, 2 bath is under $100,000. Anyone want to go halves?
