| - I don't know if the mall is finished or not, but it just seems too white to me. They need to like... paint the ceilings or something.
The stores are too high end for the average consumer. Not everyone can afford to shop in Paul Smith, Gucci, Prada, Mikimoto, Tom Ford, you name it. There might be a lot of foot traffic in the mall, but I feel like it's going to be hard for these stores to survive. Yes, Aria will have a casino in it so people can make impulse buys, but that requires leaving the casino to go to the other building since Aria is across the valet / check-in entrance.
A bunch of the stores and restaurants haven't opened yet, but places like Social House, Ocean Club, Todd English and Beso will make Crystals an interesting place to hang out.
I'm looking forward to going back, but for now, the place is painfully "meh" for me, beyond the gorgeous architecture.
