SHOPS: A decent collection of shops, but some are a bit pricey. I don't think you'll be finding any kind of bargains here.
LAYOUT: I always seem to get lost at this mall for some reason. Just when you think you're going the right way, you turn a corner and you somehow end up where you started. Although it's mainly going around in a circle, there are tangents off the main walkway that will lead you to Las Vegas Blvd, or to the Casino of Planet Hollywood.
BATHROOMS: WHY in the world are the bathrooms located in the deepest darkest corner???
DECOR: I find it so weird that although this mall has been given a facelift and renamed the Miracle Mile shops, remnants of it's former life as the Desert Passage can be seen as you walk along the corridors of shops. For example, as you walk along the area where the "rain storm" attraction takes place, above the shops there is a bow of boat with the words "Desert Passage" written on it. AND the facade of some of the shops still have that Desert-Passage-Look to it.
PARKING: There is self or valet parking for this mall.
