The Crystals Mall at CityCenter is one of the true architectural gems of Las Vegas. The structure was designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind, the famed architect of the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the winner of the design contest to reconstruct the Wolrd Trade Center in New York.

From its stunning exterior, that has echoes of Libeskind’s other famous structures, to its amazing interior, this is less a mall and more one giant work of art.
The Crystals mall has 500,000 square feet (46,000 square meters) of floor space with thirty-two ultra high end retail stores along with eight eating establishments.
The stores in the mall include such notables as Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Tom Ford, Prada, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, and Versace.
The restaurants and other eating establishments in Crystals are:
- Beso by Eva Longoria and Todd English
- Todd English P.U.B.
- Wolfgang Puck Cucina by Wolfgang Puck and Lee Hefter
- Eve by Eva Longoria
- Mastro’s Ocean Club
- The Pods by Wolfgang Puck
- Social House by Pure Management Group
- The Cup by World News Kaffee
The Crystals is a wonderful place to stroll on a late evening or especially as a break from the heat on a Vegas summer day. You can enjoy a cup of coffee and some window browsing or splurge and treat yourself to some high end shopping.

It’s a relaxed, absolutely gorgeous place to spend some time, and it’s easy to get to from both the Bellagio and Monte Carlo resorts via a free tram that connects the two hotels to CityCenter.
You can also work your way through the Crystals to the fabulous casino at the Aria Hotel just behind the mall, a great way to enjoy some simply jaw-dropping architecture as you shop, eat, and play the tables in one of the most stunning casinos in town.
But take your time as you stroll and shop, because every corner of this place contains a new find, a new surprise. Nothing is mass produced or left to chance. It is a one of a kind shopping and dining experience that is best savored rather than rushed.
