Join us for a Guided Tour of our Favorite Las Vegas Retailers!

Join us on Thursday, February 2, 2006 from 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM for a Guided tour of the Las Vegas Retail Scene. There's big money spent on store design in Las Vegas -- if it's going to happen in retail, it’s likely happen in Las Vegas first. We'll show you the our favorite examples of Shoppertainment, the latest in store design and decor, great examples of branding, merchandising strategies-in-action, plus all the extras that keep customers close! And trust us, there will be more than a few surprises on our bus trip to and from an in-between stops!

Our stops will include:

The New York-New Hotel & Casino:

NY-NY is one of the best examples of branding you’ll find anywhere! The outside depicts the Manhattan skyline with 12 interconnected skyscrapers, including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. There’s even a 150-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty. Inside NY-NY there are so many great examples of branding and things to do you won’t know where to start. Outside, you’ll be moved by “The Tribute to Heroes”, a collection of personal items placed by visitors honoring those lost in the tragic events of September 11.

The Forum Shops at Caesars:

Shoppus ‘til you droppus! The Forum Shops may be a mall, but it’s not like the malls you have at home! Here you’ll find great things to buy, and great ideas to tweak and use in your own store. Pay close attention to the ambiance and you will notice subtle changes as you shop. The skies overhead change from the rosy tones of dawn to a star-filled night. Then they change all over again. And you’ll be amazed as the sculptures in the fountains come to life. Visit the new wing of the Forum Shoppes and take a ride on the triple decker spiral escalators. How’d they do that? And take note: the Forum Shops have grossed more dollars per square foot that any other shopping center in the world!

Mandalay Place at Mandalay Bay:

Mandalay Place isn’t a shopping center, it’s a bridge – a skybridge that spans the gap between Mandalay Bay and Luxor. Unlike other Las Vegas shopping areas, Mandalay Place does not have a theme, instead its shops have been collected to give customers a Shoppertainment experience at every turn. The unique retail lineup includes Nike Golf, The Art of Shaving, Burger Bar Las Vegas, and the Chocolate Swan.

We love Las Vegas!
We're inspired by Las Vegas and we'd like to show you why!
