Inside is a glittering array of luxury retailers: Prada, Dior, Vuitton (North America’s biggest, naturally), Tiffany, Marni, Paul Smith and Kiton.Ĭrystals’ interior design, by David Rockwell, celebrates nature with hanging gardens of flowering plants, a wooden sculpture called “Treehouse” and a water feature in which water jets carve ice sculptures into constantly changing shapes. Crystals’ exterior, designed by the renowned Daniel Libeskind, is a whole new look for the Strip: an angular three-story jumble of glass and stainless steel. Sure, some stores are familiar, but here they’re often in stunning settings, accompanied by chic restaurants and free entertainment, plus the best people-watching anywhere.Ĭrystals, the retail portion of the new Cit圜enter development on the Strip opened more than three years ago. People who might be too busy in their hometowns to stroll through a humdrum shopping mall find themselves lured to Sin City’s incarnations-to buy, browse or simply gawk at the excess within. It suits Las Vegas, the place where Americans come to reinvent themselves-at least temporarily. Since then, the shopping scene has exploded. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but to Las Vegas regulars it must have seemed that way when the Forum Shops sprang up at Caesars Palace in 1992.
