The Shops at Crystals Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV 89109 United States Get Directions
The Shops at Crystals is a luxury shopping experience considered the finest on the Las Vegas Strip, combining high-end retail with stunning architecture. This is not a shopping mall, but a sprawling 500,000-square-foot plaza featuring over 50 of the world’s most luxurious brands, including flagship locations for Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, and Prada. Architect Daniel Libeskind designed Crystals as a visual path, setting the standard for high-end retail.
Architectural Wonders and Artistic Expression
The outside of The Shops at Crystals is surprisingly beautiful, with sharp angles and crystalline forms entirely clad in reflective stainless steel and glass. The design by David Rockwell brings more excitement to the interior with high ceilings, spiral staircases, and, of course, the 70-foot sculptural treehouse, which is impossible to ignore, as well as hanging gardens. The interior is filled with inspiring art installations, including pieces by renowned artists such as Dale Chihuly. As a bonus, rotating exhibitions create an experience that seamlessly blends shopping with an art gallery experience.
Premium Brands and Upscale Dining
This destination is particularly known for the variety of luxury retailers consolidated in one place. Crystals was the first flagship site for Hermès, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Fendi, Tom Ford, and many others, before they had or opened other Las Vegas locations. Each retailer often provides their curated and distinctive luxury selection. To top it off, there are numerous high-end dining options to complement each shopping experience, providing a delightful experience for shopping enthusiasts or a relaxing retreat to take it all in.
