If you would like to escape into a wonderful shopping experience, The Forum shops are for you. I recently purchased a pair of wonderful sandals at the" Walking Company"
They have a great selection of stores, the mall is gorgeous, Yummy places to eat and a great place to retreat from the hussle and bussle of the strip...With that being said it can still get very hectic during the holiday season. Parking can be a bit of a hassle and Valet can be slow.
I love the extras they have added for your visual enjoyment such a salt water tank in front of the "Cheese Cake Factory" and a "Fall of Atlantis and Festival show" which starts at 10 am and goes every hour on the hour and last for 10 min. Sun. - Thurs. until 11 pm
Fri. - Sat. until midnight (show is free)
Can be a lttle pricey for shopping...However a great place to wander and look!
