Shopping destination advice

[RC Fan]

Hello!

My sister, my niece and I are trying to decide where to go on vacation. We have narrowed it down to either Orlando or Las Vegas. For those of you who have visited both cities, which do you feel has the best shopping opportunities?

Any advice would be great!

Thanks!

I guess it comes down to what you're shoping for.

If you're looking mostly for Disney stuff, well, obviously WDW is the best choice.

If you're looking for high end mechandise (and I mean high end as in BIG BUCKS) then Vegas is you place, they've got every top designer on the planet.

If you're looking for shopping to be only a part of your vacation, and you're also looking for other activities to do as well, then of course you need to look at that too. WDW is more for families or "wholesome" entertainment, Vegas is definatly for adults looking to party (for example, waking down the Strip, guys are paid to hand out flyers for hookers and strip joints, and the flyers include pictures! ). Both locations offer great restaurants, Vegas is arguably a bit better in this area, as many of the fine restaurants in the Orlando resort area are of course on WDW property.

If you're looking for pure shopping, nothing else, may I give you a third option? Chicago! We've got TONS off shoping dowtown, especially on Michigan Ave (including a Disney Store). There are several indoor malls, if you plan on going in winter and don't like the idea of being outdoors. There is also a ton of non-shopping things to do, too.

Anyway, good luck. I love both Vegas and WDW, so at the end of the day, I don't think you can go wrong with either option.

Vegas, by far.

It depends what kind of shopping you are doing. Vegas has high endstores, speciality stores and an outlet mall.
Orlando has three outlet malls and several malls, one of which being high end.

So - it really just depends. In Orlando you would probably need a car, in vegas you wouldn't - just my opinion though...

Hi!

Thanks for your advice thus far!

Mostly my niece and I will be looking for great deals on shoes and clothing. My sister, who is a very enthusiastic shopper, will be looking for deals on pretty much everything.

My sister and I have been to both places, but I guess I was just looking for confirmation from fellow Disers.

May I recommend New York City, than you could also take in a show.

Prob more deals in Orlando than Vegas. I don't think of deals in Vegas, I think of fun stores full of things I can't afford (or rather, SHOULDNT buy)

World class shopping in Vegas, but I don't imagine many deals.
