Hotel Shop
FORUM SHOPS AT CAESARS
3570 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Ho-hum. Another easy win for the Roman-styled shopping mall with the day-to-night sky ceiling, fountain shows, upscale shops and unparalleled people watching. While most readers continue to avoid choosing a specific resort outlet, the only real question is who finishes second. This year's distant runner-up is the Hard Rock Hotel's groovy souvenir shop.
Our Pick:
LUXOR
3900 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Authentic Egyptian artifacts share counter space with unusual modern stuff that goes well beyond "My parents went to lose my college scholarship fund inside a big black pyramid and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." This nicely appointed shop hardly feels like a Las Vegas junk outlet, so make sure to budget accordingly. We figure there are plenty of places left to purchase that dice clock or snow globe.
