The Forum Shops opened in 1992 as the first themed shopping mall on the Strip and remains one of the highest-grossing per-square-foot retail spaces in the United States. The interior is a Roman fantasia: marble columns, fountains, a painted barrel-vaulted "sky" that runs through a constant dawn-to-dusk cycle, and animatronic statues that come to life on the hour at the Fall of Atlantis fountain.
Stores run the high-end mall lineup — Versace, Burberry, Gucci, Apple — plus a handful of unusual spots like an FAO Schwarz outpost. Worth walking through even if you are not shopping; the design has aged into something that feels properly retro-Vegas in the best way. Connected directly to Caesars Palace on one end and the Mirage's old footprint on the other.
