Fashion Show

Review

The 2-million-square-foot Fashion Show mall is like several fashion runway platforms grouped together -- and you're the star shopper. 

Believe us when we say it's just that massive. If the number of shops overwhelm you and you're not sure where to start, not to worry: One of the mall's unique features is the Great Hall's fashion shows, a multimillion-dollar event area featuring an 80-foot retractable runway. Every weekend, catch models strutting down the catwalk donning clothes you can actually buy that day. Think of this as a live fashion look book. 

Splurge on high-end retailers like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co. or snag a pair of killer heels at Chinese Laundry, Bakers or Steve Madden. Score a hot dress at bebe or Guess Marciano and get ready to turn some heads. While you're here, have your makeup done and eyebrows threaded at Sumita Beauty or try the signature 15-minute manicure at LAKA Manicure Express. 

On a budget or want to bring back tons of threads with you without feeling guilty? Then check out the mall's two-story Forever 21, where you can easily spend your whole day. The 126,000-square-foot location carries Forever 21 brands including Heritage 1981 and 21 Men, the store's men's line. And with so many purses, earrings and shoes to choose from, we doubt you'll leave empty handed. Located near Bally and Kenneth Cole, shoppers can access the store from the top or bottom level. If you need to take a break, there are couches outside the store, along with a Yo Fresco frozen yogurt and a Starbucks coffee shop. 

Fashion Show mall carries tons of unique boutique brands as well, like the hippie-chic Free People. You can also find the city's own Zara store here. Popular for its European-inspired fashions, the two-floor store (women's floor on first level, men's on second) features both a high-end and affordable selection. If your style's got a little twang, Pinto Ranch features a variety of Western apparel and boots for men and women. 

The giant, three-level Nordstrom department store features rows and rows of shoes, while Neiman Marcus carries a variety of your favorite high-end brands. 

From classic to contemporary designs, Z Gallerie carries tons of fun pieces to spruce up your home. 

In need of fresh air? The mall's spacious outdoor area provides just that. You can get a cool, refreshing treat at the Gelato Café and find plenty of spots to rest your feet. Just a few steps over, choose from restaurants like Ra Sushi and El Segundo Sol, both offering generous happy hour specials. Right above these restaurants is Maggiano's, an Italian eatery featuring spectacular views of the Strip. 

Also in this area is the mall's high-tech canopy, The Cloud. With its hard-to-miss aluminum skin, The Cloud is Fashion Show's most recognizable landmark and provides ample shading over the mall's plaza. Its media screens also shows digital ads. The lights alone will catch your attention. 

There are bridges and escalators outdoors that connect the Fashion Show mall, Wynn Las Vegas, Venetian and Treasure Island. This makes it convenient for shoppers to travel without having to wait at the crosswalks. If you're parking in the garage, be aware that spaces are tight and sometimes hard to get. However, each garage section is labeled by color, so it's easy to find your car when you're ready to go.
