Yes its crowded and Yes the statues and picture taking get annoying, as you try to make your way through the place; but overall one of the most robust "malls" in Vegas.
If you have some extra $ laying around, then you will find many stores that would happily take it, say like $2k for a small clutch purse.
They also have some decent merchants like the sporting memorabilia store, Tumi and Tourneau for the watch enthusiast.
A Fuente cigar shop is tucked nicely underneath the escalator. Its WAY overpriced, but with the OPUS X hard to find, you can always grab one here for a 100% markup over retail (that's about $40 a stick here), but hey its Vegas!
Tommy Bahama, Kiehls and Sony shops are located in the open atrium and the service at the TB shop is one of the best I have had across the US. Top notch is still my home store in Northbook,IL.
What makes this place great is unlike Bellagio or some other indoor malls, you can actually shop here and not just window browse.
