A few years ago another outdoor lifestyle center/ mall opened called Town Square Las Vegas. Owned By Aventura Florida Based Turnberry Associates, TSLV features most stores that you would find in your higher-end suburban mall.

Instead of department stores anchoring TSLV , you will find Borders Books & Music, Whole Foods Market, Rob & Stucky, Fry’s Electronics & a Rave Motion Pictures 18-plex theatre.

It’s located on Las Vegas Boulevard South, a little south of the airport where Vacation Village once stood.

This area really grew fast during the housing boom, now I wonder what happened here knowing that the growth was artificially induced.

The Miracle Mile shops are complete. I haven’t visited (yet) but I’m told that, so far, at least some of the decor is the same, as is that in the casino. I believe it – after all, Planet Hollywood did or almost did go bankrupt, this seems to be a heave-ho effort to climb back on the train.

Mike K beat me to commenting on Fashion Show, but he’s a resident, whereas I only visit each year, so he really has the details. But yes, it used to be a basic mall with a fairly bland decor: lots of squares and rectangles, pale tan and black marble and granite tiles, and one very ordinary, boring fountain. It had a very bland take on an early 90s look. If it used to be cooler, I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it once had some 70s charm.

Bellagio and the Wynn also have mall-like areas with VERY upscale (Rodeo Drive-esque) stores.

It is known from all the times that Las Vegas is the city of casinos. It is the place where your money is disappearing faster than any elsewhere from your wallet. If you have the opportunity to have some maximum moments of fun it worth to spend even the last penny at least once in your life.

I have lived in Las Vegas since 1992, the Fashion Show mall was doubled in size over a 5 year period starting in 1999 and completed in 2004. WIth the exception on Macy’s (formally Bullock’s) and Nieman Marcus, none of the tenants are in there original location prior to the remodeling and expansion. There is still one anchor store space there that is empty. The original space that Dillard’s occupied was set to become a Lord & Taylor but pulled out after the company’s Robinson’s May at that mall was under performing.

Having never really thought about it, I was surprised when I went to Vegas for the first time three years ago that so many of the casinos were attached to malls and shopping areas. From the looks of your pictures, I spent some time in the Grand Canal Shops and Forum Shops, but not Desert Passage. The Fashion Show Mall was under construction–I think they were building the apparatus for that giant disc-like structure overhead–and the sidewalk was closed on that side of the street between the Frontier and Treasure Island. That’s a walk I had to take quite a few times, as I stayed at the Frontier for a couple of days to be cheap, while friends were staying at Treasure Island, where the wedding I was attending was being held. I did move to Treasure Island for my last night or two.
