The Galleria at Sunset
Henderson
This is the farthest-away mall of the bunch (9 miles southeast of Downtown Las Vegas, in Henderson) but the most aesthetically pleasing, a 1-million-square-foot Southwestern-themed shopping center, with topiary animals adding a sweet touch to the food court. Anchored by Dillard's, JCPenney, Mervyn's California, and Macy's, the Galleria's 140 emporia include branches of Gap/Gap Kids/Baby Gap, The Limited Too, Ann Taylor, bebe, Caché, Lane Bryant, Victoria's Secret, The Body Shop, B. Dalton, and Sam Goody. In addition to shoes and clothing for the entire family, you'll find electronics, eyewear, gifts, books, home furnishings, jewelry, and luggage here. Dining facilities include an extensive food court and two restaurants. Open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 9pm and Sunday from 11am to 7pm.This is the farthest-away mall of the bunch (9 miles
Agent Provocateur
Las Vegas
Vegas doesn't lack for lingerie stores (including Frederick's of Hollywood and Playboy), but if you can only make time for one, it has to be this British import. The designs are clever and witty, in addition to drop-dead sexy and ultracool. Kate Moss has long been the face and body of the line, and even starred in a short movie ad for the line directed by Mike Figgis. Seduction should start someplace special. Open Sunday through Thursday from 10am to 11pm, Friday and Saturday from 10am to midnight.Vegas doesn't lack for lingerie stores (including Frederick's of Hollywood
Alternate Reality Comics
Las Vegas
This is the best place in Vegas for all your comic-book needs. They have a nearly comprehensive selection, with a heavy emphasis on underground comics. But don't worry -- the superheroes are here, too. Open Sunday through Tuesday from noon to 6pm, and Wednesday through Saturday from 11am to 7pm.This is the best place in Vegas for all your
Antique Square
Las Vegas
It's a cruddy-looking collection of stores in several remodeled houses arranged in a square, but every good antiques shopper knows that these kinds of crammed junk stores are the places to find real treasures and to do real antiques hunting (because once they've been really picked through and prettily displayed by pros, you can kiss bargains and real finds goodbye). Individual store hours vary, but most are closed on Sunday and Monday.It's a cruddy-looking collection of stores in several remodeled houses
Antiques at the Market
Las Vegas
This is an antiques mini-mall (for lack of a better phrase) with a number of individuals operating stalls under one roof. Open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm, Sunday from noon to 5pm.This is an antiques mini-mall (for lack of a better
Ben Sherman
Las Vegas
British designer Ben Sherman started during the mod era, but now his clean-lined clothes seem more Sloane Ranger-conservative than cutting-edge London irony. Given that there are only seven outposts in the world, Anglo fashionphiles will still need to make a pilgrimage. Open Sunday through Thursday from 10am to 11pm, Friday and Saturday from 10am to midnight.British designer Ben Sherman started during the mod era, but
Bettie Page Boutique
Las Vegas
It's the old story. Needing a job, curvaceous gal poses for naughty photos, and her cheery good humor in all kinds of bondage photos, not to mention a gleaming black pageboy hairdo, makes her an icon. The next thing you know, there's a store dedicated to all things Bettie. Dress like a pin-up thanks to a line of Page-inspired '50s-style dresses, corsets, hosiery, and more. You can't have a venture like this without a wink, and so the shop, all done up in leopard, is a hoot. There is also plenty of Bettie artwork by renowned pin-up artist Olivia de Berardinis for sale. Open Sunday through Thursday from 10am to 11pm, Friday and Saturday from 10am to midnight.It's the old story. Needing a job, curvaceous gal poses
British Foods, Inc
Las Vegas
Here's a wild card even for this city: an import shop dedicated to all things U.K. Mostly edibles, though there are some Union Jack and other national imagery-inspired trinkets, and not just from Blighty -- they also import from Australia and other parts of the Commonwealth. Come here for your Cadbury fix; there's a wide range of that favorite candy line, including items not regularly found on these shores. Stock up on teas, biscuits, bangers, jams, Ambrosia custards and puddings, British bacon, pasties, and even haggis. No lager, though. Sorry. Open daily from 10am to 6pm.Here's a wild card even for this city: an import
Buffalo Exchange
Las Vegas
This is actually a branch of a chain of stores spread out across the United States. If the chain part worries you, don't let it -- this merchandise doesn't feel processed. Staffed by plenty of incredibly hip alt-culture kids (ask them what's happening in town during your visit), it is stuffed with dresses, shirts, pants, and so forth. You can easily go in one day and come out with 12 fabulous new outfits, but you can just as easily go in and come up dry. But it's still probably the most reliable of the local vintage shops. The store is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 8pm, Sunday from 11am to 7pm.This is actually a branch of a chain of stores
Dead Poet Bookstore
Las Vegas
The dead poet in question was the man from whose estate the owners bought their start-up stock. He had such good taste in books that they "fell in love with him" and wanted to name the store in his memory. Just one problem -- they never did get his name. So they just called him "the dead poet." His legacy continues at this book-lover's haven. Open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm.The dead poet in question was the man from whose
Ethel's Chocolate Lounge
Las Vegas
A creation of local confectioner Ethel M that is part cafe, part lounge. "You love chocolate. We are here to help." is their motto. This location isn't as large or as immediately fun as others around the country, but it's still a fun blood-sugar pick-me-up. Choose fancy chocolates from the carefully designed ones on display, such as pomegranate, champagne cocktail, and even margarita flavor, or savor a fondue or other appropriate nosh. Because they keep mall hours -- Monday through Saturday from 10am to 9pm, Sunday from 11am to 7pm -- they are more of a mid-afternoon snack spot than a post-dinner wind-down option.A creation of local confectioner Ethel M that is part
Fashion Show
Las Vegas
What was a nondescript, if large, mall has now been revamped with a yowsa exterior much more fitting Las Vegas. It's capped by a giant . . . well . . . they call it a cloud, but we call it "that weird thingy that looks like a spaceport for UFOs. What in the heck were they thinking?" Inside, it's still, more or less, a basic mall, including the city's first Nordstrom, a Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, a Neiman Marcus, and other high-end retailers. The mall hosts more than 250 shops, restaurants, and services. And the cloud/alien spaceport thingy has giant LED screens, music, and other distractions -- again, much more fitting for Vegas, where even the malls have to light up. Valet parking is available, and you can even arrange to have your car hand-washed while you shop. The Fashion Show is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 9pm and Sunday from 11am to 7pm.What was a nondescript, if large, mall has now been
Gambler's Book Shop
Las Vegas
Here you can buy a book on any system ever devised to beat casino odds. Owner Edna Luckman carries more than 4,000 gambling-related titles, including many out-of-print books, computer software, and videotapes. She describes her store as a place where "gamblers, writers, researchers, statisticians, and computer specialists can meet and exchange information." On request, knowledgeable clerks provide on-the-spot expert advice on handicapping the ponies and other aspects of sports betting. The store's motto is "knowledge is protection." Open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm.Here you can buy a book on any system ever
Gamblers General Store
Las Vegas
This is a gambler's paradise stocked with a massive book collection, antique and current slot machines, gaming tables (blackjack, craps, and so on), roulette wheels, collectible chips, casino dice, classic Vegas photos, and a ton of gaming-related souvenirs. Open daily from 9am to 6pm.This is a gambler's paradise stocked with a massive book
Las Vegas Outlet Center
Las Vegas
This massive complex houses 130 air-conditioned outlets, including a few dozen clothing stores and shoe stores. It offers a range of merchandise, but even with our understanding of the hit-and-miss nature of outlets, we never buy anything here and feel nothing but apathy for the center. Among other stores (which you will perhaps find less disappointing than we have), you'll find Liz Claiborne, Perry Ellis, Ashworth-Callaway Golf, Levi's, Nike, Oshkosh B'Gosh, Gymboree, Reebok, Jockey, Springmaid, Danskin, Van Heusen, Tommy Hilfiger, Burlington, Royal Doulton, Waterford (crystal), Black & Decker (tools), and Calvin Klein. There are also a carousel and a food court. Hours vary by store.This massive complex houses 130 air-conditioned outlets, including a few
Las Vegas Premium Outlets
Las Vegas
We had such high hopes for this, the most conveniently located, and largest (ever more so thanks to a recently completed major expansion), outlet mall in Las Vegas. We can say that it looks nice, in that pretty outdoor mall kind of way. But the key here is "outdoor." It's fine on a regular day, but on a hot Vegas day -- and there are plenty of those -- this is an open oven of misery. They should put a roof over the thing or at least install a whole bunch of misters. You'll roast away while shopping among disappointingly dull stores, some of which are "outlets" only because they aren't in regular malls. (The Bath & Body Works shop, for example, consists mostly of regular products at regular prices.) Maybe we are just feeling bitter about that pair of Bass shoes that were half a size too small. Or that we can't quite fit into the Dolce & Gabbana sample sizes. Still, bring a lot of water if you go during the summer. Warning: Parking here is often a nightmare. Consider taking a cab. Stores include Armani, Bernini, Brooks Brothers, Calvin Klein, Coach, Crabtree & Evelyn, Dolce & Gabbana, Kenneth Cole, Lacoste, Nike, Perry Ellis, Ralph Lauren, Quicksilver, Samsonite, Timberland, Tommy Hilfiger, Wilson's Leather, and Zales. Open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 9pm, Sunday from 10am to 8pm.We had such high hopes for this, the most conveniently
M&M's World
Las Vegas
What can one do when faced with a wall of M&Ms in colors never before seen by man or woman (purple! teal! lime green!)? Overpriced? Yeah! Who cares? There are doodads galore, replete with the M&M's logo, and a surprisingly enjoyable short film and comedy routine, ostensibly about the "history" of the candy but really just a cute little adventure with a decent budget behind it. Open Sunday through Thursday from 9am until 11pm, Friday and Saturday from 9am until midnight.What can one do when faced with a wall of
Meadows Mall
Las Vegas
Another immense mall, this one has more than 144 shops, services, and eateries, anchored by four department stores: Macy's, Dillard's, Sears, and JCPenney. In addition, there are more than a dozen shoe stores, a full array of apparel for the entire family (including maternity wear, petites, and large sizes), an extensive food court, and shops purveying toys, books, music, luggage, gifts, jewelry, home furnishings (The Bombay Company, among others), accessories, and so on. Fountains and trees enhance Meadows Mall's ultramodern, high-ceilinged interior, and there are a few comfortable seating areas for resting your feet a moment. The Meadows Mall is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 9pm and Sunday from 10am to 6pm.Another immense mall, this one has more than 144 shops,
Red Rooster Antique Mall
Las Vegas
The Red Rooster is a mini-mall of sorts, only with "antiques" instead of a 7-Eleven and a nail salon. The place is older and battered, but features individual stalls selling all categories of stuff, from junk to treasures. Individual store hours vary, but most are open Monday through Saturday 10am to 6pm, Sunday from 11am to 5pm.The Red Rooster is a mini-mall of sorts, only with
Serge's Showgirl Wigs
Las Vegas
Oh, you probably thought all those showgirls just naturally had bountiful thick manes. Sorry to burst your bubble. If you have a desire to look like a showgirl yourself (and why not?), come to Serge's, which for over 2 decades has been supplying Vegas's wiggy needs, with more than 2,000 wigs to choose from. This, by the way, is not just for showgirls or the similarly delusional. Not only can wigs be fun for everyone (we treasure our own turquoise number), but at least one sassy gal we know with thinning hair issues recently bought two natural-looking models and reports that the sales staff was as nice and helpful as could be. Wigs range in price from $130 to over $1,500, depending on quality and realness, and you can pick from Dolly Parton's wig line or get something custom-made. They also make hairpieces and toupees and carry hair-care products. Open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 5:30pm. If the prices at Serge's are too rich to bring your fantasy alive, right across the way is Serge's Showgirl Wigs outlet, with prices running from a more reasonable $60 to $70.Oh, you probably thought all those showgirls just naturally had
Showcase Mall
Las Vegas
Less a traditional mall than an entertainment center, it has plenty of shopping and fun -- we rarely miss a chance to drop by M&M's World. Other occupants include GameWorks, the World of Coca-Cola store, Grand Canyon Experience, and the United Artists theaters -- the only regular movie theater complex on the Strip. Hours vary by store.Less a traditional mall than an entertainment center, it has
The Attic
Las Vegas
The Attic, former star of a Visa commercial, is the sort of place where they make poodle skirts in all sizes, in addition to the usual vintage and vintage-influenced wares stuffed on the crowded racks. Not so much of a scenester hangout as it used to be, but still worth a browse. Open Monday through Thursday from 10am to 5pm, Friday from 10am to 6pm, and Saturday from 11am to 6pm.The Attic, former star of a Visa commercial, is the
The Boulevard
Las Vegas
The Boulevard is the second largest mall in Las Vegas -- Fashion Show on the Strip has it beat. Its 150-plus stores and restaurants are arranged in arcade fashion on a single floor occupying 1.2 million square feet. Geared to the average consumer, it has anchors such as Sears, JCPenney, Macy's, Dillard's, and Marshalls. There's a wide variety of shops offering all sorts of items -- moderately priced shoes and clothing for the entire family, books and gifts, jewelry, and home furnishings. There are also more than a dozen fast-food eateries. In short, you can find just about anything you need here. And there's free valet parking. The mall is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 9pm and Sunday from 11am to 6pm.The Boulevard is the second largest mall in Las Vegas
Zia Record Exchange
Las Vegas
sign that individual Vegas culture might not be dead after all, this fairly large shop mixes new and used records. The emphasis is on CDs but they do have a big vinyl section, and both show a varied selection of music styles (rock, punk, jazz, soundtracks, and so on). Cleverly, they spotlight bands coming to Vegas, both large and small, with special displays, plus always have bins of music from local acts. On Fridays and Saturdays, live local acts play in the shop. Please note the signs cautioning against slam dancing! Open daily from 10am to midnight.sign that individual Vegas culture might not be dead after
Fashion Outlets Las Vegas
Primm
Dedicated bargain hunters (we stop here every time we drive by) may want to make the roughly 40-minute drive along I-15 to this big outlet complex, right on the border of California and Nevada. There's also a shuttle from the MGM Grand or the mall at Planet Hollywood. Round-trip fare is $15 and includes a savings book for discounts at the outlets. Also, check the website for a shuttle discount coupon. On your left is a large factory outlet with some designer names prominent enough to make the trip worthwhile -- Kenneth Cole, Versace, Coach, Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, even a rare Williams-Sonoma, among several others. Why so far out of town? Our guess is because some of these companies have full-price boutiques in various hotels and malls, and they don't want you ignoring those in favor of discounted items. Open daily from 10am to 8pm.Dedicated bargain hunters (we stop here every time we drive

The emphasis is on CDs but they do have a big vinyl section, and both show a varied selection of music styles (rock, punk, jazz, soundtracks, and so on). Cleverly, they spotlight bands coming to Vegas, both large and small, with special displays, plus always have bins of music from local acts. On Fridays and Saturdays, live local acts play in the shop. Please note the signs cautioning against slam dancing! Open daily from 10am to midnight.sign that individual Vegas culture might not be dead after
Fashion Outlets Las Vegas
Primm
Dedicated bargain hunters (we stop here every time we drive by) may want to make the roughly 40-minute drive along I-15 to this big outlet complex, right on the border of California and Nevada. There's also a shuttle from the MGM Grand or the mall at Planet Hollywood. Round-trip fare is $15 and includes a savings book for discounts at the outlets. Also, check the website for a shuttle discount coupon. On your left is a large factory outlet with some designer names prominent enough to make the trip worthwhile -- Kenneth Cole, Versace, Coach, Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, even a rare Williams-Sonoma, among several others. Why so far out of town? Our guess is because some of these companies have full-price boutiques in various hotels and malls, and they don't want you ignoring those in favor of discounted items. Open daily from 10am to 8pm.Dedicated bargain hunters (we stop here every time we drive
