Grand Bazaar Shops at Bally's Las Vegas

A 2-acre retail venue, the Grand Bazaar Shops has been dropped smack-dab in the center of Las Vegas Boulevard on one of the busiest intersections in the world. It's also the only open-air mall on the Strip where all you window shoppers who are “just looking” can keep your wallets tucked safely away.

The Grand Bazaar Shops features colorful canopies over the passageways between retailers. After dark, the rooftops are illuminated in a bright neon rainbow display. So, mosey along promenades until one of the enticing shops or restaurants catches your eye. There's more to do than just shop, as select venues have offerings like live music and wild, flair bartenders. Unwind, shop 'till you drop, get down with your bad self or indulge in an array of culturally-diverse eateries that don't require a passport to get to, the choice is yours.

There are too many shops and restaurants to list them all, but trust us, they're legit. And it's not just the big names that will win your heart; there are a slew of international boutiques that call the mall home, too.

If you're still around at 8:55 p.m. and 11:55 p.m., which is likely since the boutiques don't usually close 'till pretty late, watch the 4,000-pound Swarovski Starburst light show suspended high above their store. We can't think of a better way to bring in a new day (hey-that rhymes-two points for us).
