Fashion Show Las Vegas is located at 3200 Las Vegas Boulevard South on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada (an unincorporated town in the Las Vegas metropolitan area). Fashion Show Mall is owned by the General Growth Properties Inc. With convert|1888151|sqft|m2|abbr=on of space, this is one of the largest enclosed malls in the world. The mall has over 200 stores, 7 anchors, an elevated stage, a fashion runway, and the Cloud.

Fashion shows occur in the Fashion Show Mall every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For the winter holidays, the mall has scheduled "snow storms" inside.

The Cloud, at The Strip entrance is about 128 feet (39 m) above the sidewalk and is 480 feet (150 m) long. During the day, the structure provides shade for the entrance and at night it serves as a movie screen.

The mall features several high end restaurants, some accessible from private entrances and elevators so they may operate when the mall is closed.

History

The mall opened in 1981 with Dillard's, Bullock's, Goldwaters, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue (Originally only 64,000 ft²).

In 2003, Neiman Marcus expanded from convert|102000|sqft|m2|abbr=on to convert|160000|sqft|m2|abbr=on, Saks Fifth Avenue and Dillard's both relocated in the west end of the mall, and Macy's and Robinsons-May expanded as well. A whole West end was added to the mall adding convert|500000|sqft|m2|abbr=on of store space, including The Great Hall, where fashion shows are performed throughout the day. Also, Bloomingdale's Home (first in the nation) and Nordstrom opened in the west end of the mall as well. Lord & Taylor was scheduled to open in the former spot of Dillard's, as part of the mall's east expansion, but that location is still empty, as the Lord & Taylor chain halted its national expansion plans and canceled its store here in 2003. The mall is currently searching for an anchor to occupy the location. A Nokia Experience was built in front of the building's entrance of the anchor. Also, as part of the east expansion, the Cloud and an convert|11000|sqft|m2|sing=on food court opened on the 3rd level.

Rouse, the previous owner, was purchased by General Growth Properties in 2004.

On September 9, 2006, following Federated's purchase of May Department Stores, Robinsons-May became the second Macy's store at Fashion Show. The second Macy's will close in January 2008 and be consolidated with the existing Macy's store. The second Macy's will be reconfigured as a Men's store. Plans for both Macy's should be completed by Fall, 2009. The Macy's Home Store is found down the street at Spring Mountain and Arville.
