The Shops at Crystals

Share

While San Diego may have boutiques, shops and malls, it is only with a visit to the incomparable and impressive Shops at Crystals in Las Vegas that you will discover an unparalleled collection of luxury retailers under one roof with a focus on attention to details, fine dining and unique experiences. With so much to do and so little time, we were enthralled with a day of shopping, an afternoon of high-tea, and evening’s show with a visit with the King of Pop!

Louis Vuitton

Inside the boutique you will find a James Turrell installation titled Akhob. This work of light and its interaction with space is an unexpected and magical experience. As it is in such high demand, it is best to have your local Louis Vuitton client representative call to make a reservation for you.

Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany & Co. features a beautiful stainless steel and glass staircase that has been the backdrop for many engagements. And what better way to propose than with a Tiffany Engagement Ring. These diamonds have been crafted by 300 people and inspected over 1,300 times to ensure flawless perfection and beauty. Coming in April, enjoy the release of the new T Time Watch, seen for the first time here on our pages.

Hermès

Offering an exclusive in-house Parfumerie, Hermès Maison for your home décor needs, Hermès Baby, a wide selection of Hermès Apple Watch, Men’s Department and a large Equestrian selection of saddles, bits and stirrups. Their new, even larger store is opening in June so be on the lookout!

Porsche Design

Porsche Design is celebrating the 40-year anniversary of their signature Aviator sunglasses, available with multiple interchangeable lenses. As part of their innovative collection, a must have is the 911 Soundbar using an actual Porsche 911 GT3 twin exhaust port as the 200-watt Bluetooth sound system. Another innovative concept is the Shisha 2.0 offering a smoking experience in distinctive Porsche Design iconic style.

DSQUARED2

This celebrity driven line exudes a Rockstar vibe with their extravagant runway shows, leather jackets and ready-to-wear. With their energetic personalities and their celebrity following, DSQAURED2 is an international fashion line worn by the likes of Ricky Martin and Erika Girardi.

Richard Mille

These watches are grounded on three crucial elements: the best in technical innovation, the best of artistry and architecture, the best of the heritage and culture of fine watch making with hand finishing. Creating a collection for the likes of Bubba Watson, Pablo MacDonough, and Rafael Nadal among others resulted in incredibly complicated, amazingly durable, impossibly comfortable, and stunningly beautiful watches.

Audemar Piguet

With pride and passion for the art of making Swiss luxury watches for over a century, Audemar Piguet offers the most beautiful, unique and complex watches for women and men. The Royal Oak watches are amongst the most popular and are a true modern icon to be celebrated generation after generation.

AQUAZZURA

Calling on modern design with impeccable luxury craftsmanship, AQUAZZURA creates timeless footwear

with a twist. Especially endearing is the mother-daughter line of matching shoes.

Dior

The Spring collection draws inspiration from La Jolla artists Niki de Saint Phalle which channels tarot card symbols of dragons, witches, and magicians before finding “the angel of temperance”.

Mandarin Oriental

After a fun day of shopping we unwound on the 23rd floor of the Mandarin Oriental. Designed as a Zen-like retreat with spectacular views of the strip we enjoyed a large selection of the finest teas alongside English scones, cupcakes and macarons.

Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson ONE

No visit to Las Vegas would be complete without a Cirque du Soleil show. We did just that and loved seeing the electrifying fusion of acrobatics, dance and visuals that reflects the best of Michael Jackson. The entire show we spent singing listening to all his biggest hits surrounded by Cirque du Soleil performers. A must see!
