Since you'll probably need another suitcase for your new items, the Premium Outlets offers plenty of luggage stores, including Samsonite, The Luggage factory and Dooney & Burke. 

The list goes on and on, so trust us when we say it's worth venturing through the outlet shops on your own. 

We recommend stopping by the information center, located by the valet just across from Kenneth Cole. A concierge can help you with any questions you might have. The information center also sells VIP coupon books that offer additional savings at these shops. 

In addition, if you've never been here make sure to be dressed for the weather. While the shops themselves are indoors, you'll have to walk outside to go from one store to the next. Our suggestion? During the summer months, shopping at dusk is a lot more comfortable. If you're on a time constraint, the outlets have overhead water misters and canopy shades to make your experience a little more comfortable. Winter season does get chilly, so make sure to rock a jacket and a warm hat. 

With all the walking around you'll be doing, you're going to get hungry at some point. The Premium Outlets offers popular food court options like The Great Steak & Potato Co., Dairy Queen/Orange Julius (perfect for warmer months), Starbucks and Subway. Not in a rush? Then enjoy all the flavors of the sea at Makino Seafood & Sushi Buffet. 

Shuttle service is an option for guests staying in any of the downtown hotels. If you're on the Las Vegas Strip, unlimited cab service is also available. Otherwise, there are two parking garages offering plenty of space. To get to Las Vegas Premium Outlets - North, head north on Interstate 15. Exit Charleston Boulevard and turn right. Turn left on Grand Central Parkway. The outlets will be on your left.
