The Boulevard
3528 S Maryland Parkway at Desert Inn Blvd tel 732-8949,
. Mon-Fri 10am-9pm, Sat 10am-8pm, Sun 11am-6pm.
Nevada's largest shopping mall has stood a couple of miles east of the Strip for over thirty years, but thanks to a recent overhaul it looks as good as new. Consisting of a single story centered on a bright glass-covered atrium, and anchored by department stores like Sears, JC Penney, Dillard's, and Macy's, it's the locals' favorite for day-to-day shopping. As well as over 150 outlets, including such mall regulars as Gap, Victoria's Secret, Body Shop, Radio Shack, and the entire gamut of Footlockers, it has a good-quality food court.
CAT bus #203 connects The Boulevard mall with the Strip, running along Twain Avenue from the Fashion Show Mall.
Galleria at Sunset
1300 W Sunset Rd, Henderson tel 434-0202,
. Mon-Sat 10am-9pm, Sun 11am-6pm.
Las Vegas's latest megamall is eight miles southeast of the Strip, opposite
Sunset Station
in suburban Henderson, a location convenient only if you're heading to or from the Hoover Dam or Arizona. In terms of stores, it's much the same as the Boulevard, with a Macy's and a JC Penney, plus another 130 conventional mall outlets, but it also stands at the heart of a busy shopping district, with large neighbors including a Border's and a Barnes & Noble.
