Hermes': The Most Luxe Fashion House of France

Everybody knows that the Hermes' Brand is one of the most expensive Luxe brands in the world and is way more expensive than Louis Vuitton. In fact, about 18% of the company is owned by the LVMH group. The uber luxe fashion shop was founded by Thierry Hermes' in 1837. Hermès has 14 product divisions encompassing leather, scarves, ties, men's wear, women's fashion, perfume, watches, stationery, footwear, gloves, enamel, decorative arts, tableware, and jewelry. Hermès sales are composed of about 30% leather goods, 15% clothes, 12% scarves, and 43% other wares. What makes Hermes' popular is the Iconic Kelly and Birkin Bags for women and like Louis Vuitton, are often targets of counterfeiters but nothing beats the original. Since Las Vegas is a favorite gaming destination, it has 3 hermes branches at the strip, namely at the Bellagio, The Crystals at City Center and at Wynn Esplanade.

What to buy: how about buying a Thierry Hermes Cologne for $ 160, a regular Hermes men's wallet for $ 1,600, a regular male silk tie at $ 950. A regular Hermes men's messenger bag will cost about $ 3,500. Men's belts will cost $ 900.

the Hermes' Store in Encore Esplanade opens at 10:00 am and closes at 10:00 pm

Malls / Outlets: Ocotillo Plaza Shopping Center Malls / Outlets Review

when you want to do the regular shopping without the touristy and crowds of the Las Vegas Strip shops, the nearest strip mall in the south end of the Strip is the Ocotillo Plaza Shopping Center, A big Strip Mall located east of the Excalibur Hotel along the East Tropicana Avenue where you can do the regular shopping without the crowds. However, thy don't sell touristy stuff here as these is off the strip and is not a tourist location, this is where the Las Vegas Locals and the People from nearby Paradise, Winchester, Henderson and other nearby Towns shop. It is not the only strip mall in las Vegas but it is the nearest on the South Strip Area. So if you have a rental car, just follow the East Tropicana Avenue along the Tropicana or the Excalibur.

What to buy: the regular stuff without the touristy stuff like buying cheao stuffs at Walmart, eat good mexican chicken at El Pollo Loco

opens: 10:00 am to 9:00 pm everyday

What to pay: not a dent on your wallet
