Shops at Crystals – Las Vegas, Nevada

The Cosmopolitan and the development just south of it are my favorite on the Las Vegas Strip. They have the most daring and modern architecture, eschewing the cheesy, kitschy, or overly flamboyant architecture of other Las Vegas establishments.

Despite being modern, they are also not dull, minimalist structures — featuring angular buildings and bold signage. We can see two famous stores boldly advertising their brands.

This picture is from the Shops at Crystals, a shopping mall in the City Center complex that features the Aria and other hotels and condos. The fantastic thing about Las Vegas is these expensive brands build stores in multiple malls along the strip. That way you don’t have to travel far to spend a lot of money.
