| - I don't know how you tourists do it--I get lost in this mall every time I go here, and that's roughly every other month. Who thought it was a good idea to put a giant, split-level mall in the same city where you can drink alcohol on the street? Maybe it was the same people who built our hotel/casinos--if the tourists can't get out, they'll be forced to spend more money on food and merchandise.
Basically, there are just a few places worth shopping on the Strip: Fashion Show Mall has the largest variety of stores you'll probably recognize, but they're small; the Forum Shops have fewer, but larger stores; and the Miracle Mile has more unusual stores, which makes it pretty hit-or-miss. Fashion Show has the best fast food selection (Sbarro, Subway, Haagen-Dasz, Nathan's Hot Dogs, Great Wraps!, generic Chinese/Japanese food places, etc.) but the Forum Shops have more high quality restaurants. And if you have a lot of money to spend, just go straight to Crystals or Wynn.
I will note a few things that prevent Fashion Show Mall from being awesome: Bloomingdale's... HOME. I was furious when I went to Chicago for the first time, saw Bloomingdale's advertised, assumed it was the magical place that I went to in New York and Los Angeles, and found out that it's a Bloomingdale's Home. This is one of those stores.
The fashion shows that are put on on weekends are kind of cool, but it's very noisy and difficult to shop in that wing of the mall when the shows are going on because people think they don't want to stop and watch, but they really do, so they stand in the middle of the corridor and block traffic.
The store selection is great. There's a two-story Forever 21 for those of you attentive enough to keep up with trendy, affordable clothing. There's Nine West, Gap (no Gap Body section, though,) Ann Taylor, a Banana Republic with the weirdest (but neat) layout I've seen, and other favorite mid-priced stores. Then, there are a few higher end stores, such as Coach and Nordstrom. Nothing too far out of reach. Then, there are the specialty stores, including Borders Express, Front Row Sports (which has a great selection of NHL stuff, I might add,) and, of course, a Las Vegas gift shop or two.
Overall, it's a good shopping place for most shoppers, especially families. I would not recommend going here for jewelry or anything fancy--stick to the Forum Shops.
