  • Personally, I loved Desert Passage. However, I'll admit I wasn't there to shop, but to gawk. I think the place is one of the best free sights in Las Vegas-----I took pictures until I ran out of film. DP has to be the most elaborately decorated mall on earth. It's supposed to look, in a Vegas-sort of caricature way, like a North African seaport, Casablanca or Tangiers or someplace like that. What it actually resembles is a set from "Road to Morocco". (For those of you youngsters who don't watch black-and-white movies, that's a cheesy-looking film from the so-called Golden Age of Hollywood.) Actually, that Road to Morocco remark may be a bit harsh-----some of the decorative details in DP looked pretty authentic. Some of the shop facades were quite realistic-looking. (Others, however, could have been shops in any mall anywhere.) In general, the mall entrances tended to be the locations that were the most richly decorated. As a photo op, I give the place the highest rating. On one point, however, I agree with a previous poster: the ubiquitous mall carts. They clutter up every view. They wouldn't be so bad if they harmonized with the Islamic design scheme------actually, one or two of them do------but most are totally out of context. And the vaunted rainstorm is pretty sad------it's just a bunch of fire sprinklers going off. (But I did like the thunder and lightning effects that accompany the "rain".) Unfortunately, the place I've been decribing may not exist anymore. When I was there in September,2005, an employee told me the place had just been sold and the new owners planned "renovations".
