LAS VEGAS HAS LOADS OF PLACES TO SHOP. BEST TO CHECK OUT THE OUTLET MALLS FIRST. THESE HAVE ALL THE DESIGNER LABELS AND AT MUCH CHEAPER PRICES THAN BUYING FROM THE MAJOR SHOPS. THE BELZ MALL IS JUST AS YOU GO OUT FROM THE STRIP -- LOADS OF SHOPS SELLING CLOTHES, SHOES, EVEYTHING YOU WANT. WE WENT LAST NOVEMBER AND WE DID ALL OUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING HERE -- DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY ANYTING ONCE GOT BACK TO THE UK. IF YOU'RE DRIVING FROM LA TO LAS VEGAS OR VICE VERSA, MID WAY BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES IS BAIRSTOW, WHICH HAS LOADS OF OUTLET MALLS AND LOADS OF BARGAINS AS WELL. THIS IS WHERE WE MANAGAED TO BUY TWO TROLLEY SUITCASES FOR $35 TOTAL -- VERY CHEAP AND DEFINTELY WORTH A VISIT. MOST OF THE CASINOS HAVE THEIR OWN SHOPS, BUT THESE ARE YOUR BIG NAME SHOPS. FOR INSTANCE, CAESAR'S PALACE HAS HUGO BOSS, ESTE LAUDER, AND FAO SCHWARZ, TO NAME A FEW. MOST OF THE HOTELS HAVE THE BIG SHOPS, SO THEY'RE DEFINITELY WORTH LOOKING AT.
