Las Vegas South Premium Outlets

Las Vegas South Premium Outlets, at 7400 S Las Vegas Boulevard south of Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an enclosed, air-conditioned outlet mall with about 140 stores. It sells discounted lines from well-known fashion, sportswear, footwear, accessories and home brands, with merchandise that is typically past-season, overstock or made for outlets, and prices marked below standard retail. The goods are genuine brand products sold in brand-operated stores, so tourist trinkets are rare, and the centre appeals to visitors looking for clothing, shoes and accessories at lower prices than in Strip malls. The enclosed design is the main difference from Las Vegas North Premium Outlets, which is open-air; here shoppers can browse in comfort during the summer heat, when temperatures in the Mojave Desert often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Prices are fixed, with savings arising from outlet pricing, sales and coupons rather than haggling. Cards are accepted throughout. Nevada sales tax is added at the register, and the United States has no general tourist tax-refund scheme. The atmosphere is that of a standard outlet centre, with families and bargain hunters, and it tends to be quieter than the Strip's resort malls on weekdays but busy on weekends and during holiday sales. Food options include a food court and a few casual restaurants and cafes, and visitors can easily make a half-day trip including lunch. The mall lies a few miles south of the main resort corridor, so it is most convenient by rental car, ride-share or taxi, and free on-site parking removes one cost common elsewhere in Las Vegas. Some Strip bus routes serve the area, although the journey is longer than driving. Hours are shorter than at the north outlets, closing at 8:00 PM Monday to Saturday and 7:00 PM on Sundays, so afternoon visits are better than evening trips.
