Las Vegas shopping is fun, to say the least.
From the uber-expensive luxury stores that crawl across The Strip to the locally owned businesses across the valley, Vegas offers amazing shopping experiences for anyone and any budget.
Oldest Shopping Mall In Las Vegas
There are a few shopping centers that have historical ties to the start of Las Vegas. The Historic Commercial Center is the oldest “shopping center” in Las Vegas, according to 8 News Now. Recently, the shopping center had a little makeover that added art galleries, dining and entertainment to the area.
The first enclosed mall in Nevada is the Boulevard Mall, which is still in operation today. The Boulevard Mall has gone through the ups and downs of a growing city. But, this mall deserves an honorable mention.
Recently, the mall added a Mercado section. The Mercado has multiple different vendors that range from clothes, nail supplies, traditional Mexican attire, Mariachi supplies, Latin American produce, and so much more. There is even a food court that has mariscos (seafood), traditional Mexican dishes, vegetarian options and famous street food like elotes, juices and more.
Las Vegas Shopping Attracts Global Audience
In each major hotel on The Strip, there is usually an area dedicated to ritzy and luxury retailers. Stores like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen, Philipp Plein, Dior, Maison Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier and so much more are plentiful in Vegas.
I had a good friend, who works at a Louis Vuitton store on The Strip. He says that he has a large swath of clients who are from overseas. But, he also said that a a majority of his clientele are local or based in California.
Even if you’re not a luxury type of person, it’s still fun to explore the shopping malls of each casino and window shop through the stores.
