But we're talking upscale shopping DISTRICTS. What districts in Miami and Las Vegas beat the Mag Mile? I cant think of any really. What Vegas has are extremely upscale enclosed malls but not a walkable 'district' dedicated for shopping---Miami doesnt really have anything on the scale of the Mag Mile either, even if there are some areas like Worth Av or Bal Harbour Shops that are very very highbrow.
I think the Las Vegas Strip should definitely be considered an upscale shopping district.
And if we're limiting this to districts, and not including entire cities or individual shopping malls, what are the districts in Los Angeles with great shopping? I guess Melrose, although there's definitely a lot of trashy stores mixed in with the expensive ones.
Las Vegas is way up there. The strip is in fact a continuous shopping district with various interior malls along the way to get inside. Every fancy brand. A Ferrari dealer. Virtually any specialty shop you can think of. Well over a thousand all together. Certainly larger, and richer, than Beverly HIlls or similar.
Yes las veags does have upscale shooping but not enough to be in the first tier.
Chicago has one of the best upscale shooping DISTRICS in the country not including its world famous mall. The maginficent mile has every high upscale shop you can think of some only in chicago and new york. Did i mention that it is a distric. Please Las Veags boosters your city is not known for upscale shooping and yes i have been their and i can tell you that you do have upscale shooping just not enough to competer with the many cities in the country.

Getting provincial are we?
I would expect the only places in the western world that compete with Las Vegas as a shopping destination are NY and London.
Regardless of what mental picture you have of Las Vegas it is a world class shopping District. It does about 5 billion dollars worth of business with visitors alone. It includes some of the most expensive retail real estate space in the US.

Correct, but the shopping in Vegas functions more as a shopping mall than an urban shopping district, which I believe was the point of the thread.

Actual it is a district of both malls and free standing shops . There are 8 or 9 major malls another dozen smaller ones and a few hundred free standing shops spread over 4 miles. That does not cover the more remote discount malls.
I think that qualifies as a district.
Perhaps someone will define "district" and then we can see if Las Vegas fits.
Las Vegas, as mentioned before has upscale stores that are not found in Chicago. Therefore, I do put Las Vegas ahead.
