Inside The Crystals, A Work In Progress

Where: 3720 S Las Vegas Blvd. [map], 89109

The grand opening of the Aria Resort and Casino took up most of our time and attention but we can't forget about CityCenter's luxury shopping mall, The Crystals. Designed by Daniel Libeskind and with interiors by the Rockwell Group, The Crystals will be the new home for luxury designers in Las Vegas.

Not all the space is filled yet (more stores will open later this year) but you can currently shop at the massive Louis Vuitton store (the largest in North America), Tom Ford (his first West Coast shop), Mikimoto and Tiffany, amongst a few others.

Word is, each store will sell something that can only be found in the Las Vegas store, not elsewhere. (We didn't find out what that is at LV but that's the word on the Strip.) We actually spent the most time inside the Tom Ford store which has a little room at the back for cologne testing. Seriously. We recommend the Tobacco Vanilla scent. It's unisex too.

Right now, there's not much else happening in here. Instead, the action is happening at the Beso restaurant from Eva Longoria Parker and its upstairs nightclub, Eve, which has a giant disco ball on the dance floor.

While The Crystals is not one of the most shocking malls out there, it is pretty spectacular for America even if it does end up being a just a giant mall for window shopping.

Louis Vuitton Stamps Its Logo on The Crystals at CityCenter

August 11, 2009 at 12:13 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Driving by the massive construction site that is making Strip traffic more frustrating than ever aka CityCenter we noticed that luxury shopping complex, The Crystals, was making some serious progress. How serious? Serious enough that Louis Vuitton decided to slap on its oft-counterfeited logo "LV" on the front of the building.

The Crystals is still set for a December 3rd opening and Louis Vuitton isn't the only luxury brand you'll be able to window-shop buy. Prada, Dior, Bulgari, Tom Ford, Carolina Herrera, Hermes, Roberto Cavalli, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Versace are all expected to open boutiques inside the mall. (Hmm...can you even call it a mall with all those high-end brands in there?)

In the meantime, should you need an LV fix here's where you can find LV stores elsewhere on The Strip.

Non-Recession Question: How Many Louis Vuittons Are There in Las Vegas?

The Louis Vuitton store in Paris. The real Paris, not Paris Las Vegas.

Recently, we spent some time cruising the North end of the Strip--you know, where Wynn, Encore, The Palazzo, and the Venetian as well as the Fashion Show Mall all congregate and we found ourselves wondering just how many Louis Vuitton stores are there in Vegas. (Or in abbreviated form: how many LV stores in LV?)

This was a reasonable question, not because we were interested in buying LVs, but because it seems like we'd seen quite a few LV storefronts in just a short time. Well, it turns out there's only five Louis Vuitton stores in Vegas.

There's a stand-alone store at Fashion Show Mall, inside the Wynn and inside the Forum Shops. There's also LV boutiques inside Saks and Neiman Marcus in the mall. So just remember, if you win it big and you're all the way up at Mandalay Bay, you better hoof it down to Caesars to buy your LV prize.
