Las Vegas: The Ultimate Shopping Destination

Move over Madison Avenue and Rodeo Drive. Las Vegas is taking the fashion world by storm! The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, The Shoppes at The Palazzo and Fashion Show have united to showcase the award-winning collection of tourism-oriented shopping centers all centrally located on the Las Vegas Strip – SHOPLV3.

Combined, they boast over 350 boutiques, eight anchor department stores, 11 convenient valet entrances, 35-plus restaurants and two of the city's most sought-after nightclubs – creating over 3 million sf of retail shopping, not found anywhere else in the world.

According to the Travel Industry Association of America, shopping and dining continue to be the top two activities of all travelers, domestic and international. With nearly 38 million annual Las Vegas visitors, the three centers recognize the advantage of marketing themselves as a singular collection, given their close physical proximity to each other on the Las Vegas Strip as well as their sheer volume of offerings of the most sought after popular and luxury retail brands available. Together, SHOPLV3 gives new meaning to “one-stop-shopping”.

Each center offers a unique shopping and dining experience for travelers to enjoy. Fashion Show offers the best and most comprehensive retail therapy experience in the Entertainment Capital of the World with more than 200 boutiques and seven department stores – Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's Home, Forever 21, Dillard's and Macy's. If you can't find it here, you can't it anywhere.

The Grand Canal Shoppes, famous for its signature quarter-mile long “Grand Canal” and singing gondoliers, offers visitors a variety of upscale boutiques and gourmet restaurants by celebrity chefs including Wolfgang Puck's Postrio Bar & Grill, Emeril Lagasse's Delmonico Steakhouse and Mario Batali's OTTO Pizzeria.

The Shoppes at The Palazzo, connected via pedestrian walkways to The Venetian and The Grand Canal Shoppes, draws luxury travelers accustomed to shopping Rodeo Drive and Park Avenue. It features the city's most impressive offering of contemporary designer boutiques including Tory Burch, Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg and Nevada's only Barneys New York. CUT by Wolfgang Puck, Table 10 by Emeril Lagasse and SUSHISAMBA by Shimon Bokova are just of few of the culinary superstars putting theLas Vegas dining scene on its ear.

Elevating and promoting all three luxury retail centers on the Las Vegas Strip as a collective destination under the SHOPLV3 brand creates instant recognition by the travel industry worldwide and also allows “one-stop-shopping' for tour operators and travel agents seeking shopping and dining incentives, group programs or packages for their Las Vegas clientele. Travel and tourism specialists from the centers often attend trade shows and travel out-of-market with the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority to promote the properties to international markets including Mexico, Canada, Asia and the UK.
