Fashion Show is a shopping mall located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada.
A plaza along the Strip was also added and includes the Cloud, a steel structure providing shade to pedestrians, while doubling as a nighttime projection surface for advertising.
[4] The Frontier's Little Church of the West occupied a portion of the future mall site, and was relocated elsewhere on the Strip.
[14] The mall was successful, prompting the addition of other retail centers on the Strip, including the Forum Shops.
[18][19] A year later, Rouse announced plans to expand Fashion Show Mall,[19] while new management began hosting events there to attract additional patrons.
[20] In 1998, Rouse purchased 15 acres of property just west of the mall, previously used by Mirage Resorts as an employee parking lot.
[34] Various incidents have occurred at the mall, including an unsuccessful bomb threat in 1983,[35] and a jewelry store heist in 1999.
[21] Anchor tenants occupied 500,000 sq ft (46,000 m2), and included Bullock's, Diamond's, Goldwater's, Neiman-Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue.
[33] Notable new tenants in the expansion included Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor Loft, Claire's, Guess,[21] Louis Vuitton,[50] and the first Apple Store in Las Vegas.
[33] Other tenants added since then have included Banana Republic,[51] Henri Bendel,[52][53] Disney Store,[54][55] and Pop Mart.
[56][57] Mall profits had been held back by the limited size of its anchor stores, which were enlarged during the expansion.
Saks Fifth Avenue occupied a new 170,000 sq ft (16,000 m2) addition, marking its largest location outside of New York.
[60][58] The new anchors included Nordstrom, making its Las Vegas debut; and the first Bloomingdale's Home location.
[62] However, parent company May Department Stores dropped these plans, citing poor economic conditions.
It was a joint venture between film director Steven Spielberg and businessmen Steve Wynn and Jeffrey Katzenberg.
The original food court was removed, and a new one opened in the renovated east wing, measuring 11,288 sq ft (1,048.7 m2).
[69] In 2018, chef Tom Douglas opened an Italian restaurant Jeannie's,[80] noted as "fresh and full of vegetables" and "a welcome respite from the congested Strip" in the SFGate in 2024.
