  • In a city where shopping is an experience for both the AmEx *and* the eyes, the Crystals mall in CityCenter comes up miserably short. Plopped in front of the Aria hotel, Crystals solely exists to force unsuspecting tourists to walk through it on their way to the Aria proper. Not that I really mind that kind of gambit -- after all, that's pretty much the sole reason the Forum Shops at Caesars exist, too. But, really, if you're going to forcefully herd me through retail -- make it worth my while. FIrst of all, the selection is so high-end as to be preposterous. There is *only* Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Tiffany, Zegna, Paul Smith, etc., on these premises. Not even *one* mid-range retail option for those of us who don't want to drop $2000 on a pair of f*ck-me-pumps or $10000 on a business suit. I know that the Las Vegas Strip is a capitalist mecca, but Crystals is self-parody. (I also know that I'm not the only visitor who felt this way. The stores were all deserted ghost towns each time I walked through. The retail staff always looked miserably bored. Even the 1%ers don't shop here, apparently.) Ok, fine, so the store selection sucks. But that's okay, because it's Las Vegas, so it should be fun to walk through and gawk at, right? Wrong. The interior is so sterile and bland that you think you've left the Las Vegas Strip and entered the DMV. Fail. It's a shame, because there's so much promise here. The Daniel Libeskind architecture is eye-catching, and the random aesthetic touches (like the water tornado columns and flower garden) are amusing for a minute or two. Seeing Mastro's Steakhouse "suspended" in a wooden cage above the mall is kind of cool, too. Somehow, though, Crystals manages to add up to *less* than the sum of its parts. Yawn...
