PRIMM. If you think shopping ends in Vegas proper, think again! Travel south just over a half-hour, and you'll come across this enviable mall and its selection of 100 outlet stores. The enclosed center is easy to negotiate, and you'll find everything from Banana Republic and Polo Ralph Lauren to Jones New York and Burberry. Cole Haan, Coach, Williams-Sonoma, Skechers USA, and Neiman Marcus are also present, as is a food court. Shuttles from the Strip leave from MGM Grand and the Aladdin daily for about $15 round-trip.

SOUTH LAS VEGAS. If you love brand names at bargain prices, make a beeline to this outlet center, which delivers deep discounts on great merchandise. Some items may be past-season or slightly irregular, but often, the goods are visually comparable to what's carried in full-price venues. Take advantage of the inconsistencies at places like Levi's, Liz Claiborne, Jockey, Tommy Hilfiger, Carter's, Bose and Royal Doulton. Two food courts, two ATMs, and seven sets of restrooms handle necessities.

DOWNTOWN. A bit west of downtown Las Vegas, Premium Outlets lets shoppers wander through an open-air village of discounted retailers. The selection ranges from high-end to mid-range, so folks of all price points can be readily accommodated. Shops you're likely to encounter on your quest for great deals include Dolce & Gabbana, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Geoffrey Beene, Lacoste, Quiksilver, The Children's Place, and Zales. Fast-food options, ATMs, and restrooms are available.
