The Shops at Crystals Shop + Eat Dip into the grab bag that is the Grand Bazaar Shops at Bally’s for everything from glittering crystal jewelry at Swarovski to trendy apparel at Superdry: a mash-up of American, Japanese and British styles. Sugar Factory Like a little black dress with a statement heel, we’ve curated these perfect pairs: shopping enclaves with delicious restaurants onsite or nearby. With columns, sculptures and a magnificently painted ceiling, The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace channels ancient Rome—that is, if ancient Rome had a Fendi shoe salon, a private Burberry showroom and more than 160 shops. With upscale anchors including Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue, runway fashion shows and iconic brand retailers from Zara to Urban Outfitters, Fashion Show Mall isn’t your average shopping mall. When you’re done staring at The Shops at Crystals ’ facade of soaring angles and glass, head inside: Gucci, Prada, Tom Ford and other luxe retailers are waiting. By night, palms sway and string lights set The District at Green Valley Ranch aglow, illuminating your path to open-air boutiques and national retailers. Don’t miss the new Athleta outpost. + + + + Since this isn’t ancient Rome, sit down to Sushi Roku ’s flavorful Japanese dishes, from octopus crudo to miso-glazed popcorn shrimp tempura, or opt for the bento boxes or robata. Ready to indulge? Go for boozy milkshakes and spicy-sweet-crispy wings and drumsticks at Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken or the flaky-crusted, mozzarella-cheesiest, topping-laden deep-dish pizza pie at Giordano’s . At Sugar Factory , indulge in gourmet pancakes, loaded waffles, sweet crepes and chocolate fondue. Or dine at DJT , just across the street at Trump International Hotel, where the burger’s as choice as the filet mignon. Mastro’s Ocean Club is wow-worthy, too—wooden beams encircle the dining room, filtering in natural light and glimpses of shoppers below. Order something as rich as the view, maybe Oysters Rockefeller or their famous Butter Cake for dessert. + Bottiglia Cucina & Enoteca at nearby Green Valley Ranch Resort & Spa pairs rustic Italian fare with a solid wine list. The light-filled interior and breezy patio echo the menu’s bright, fresh flavors. BRAND NAMES ON A BUDGET Want to shop luxe on a budget?
