Mega Shopping District to Open on Strip

By the end of the year, a new 110-shop retail and dining district will open in front of Bally’s on the Las Vegas Strip. Developer Larry Siegel wants to attract some of the 20 million people who pass by every year.

Four restaurants, 20 grab-and-go eateries

Developer Larry Siegel’s Grand Bazaar Shops, an outdoor shopping corridor with 110 retail stores, four restaurants and 20 fast food places, will open in front of Bally’s on the Las Vegas Strip in late December.

“There’s a lot of shopping behind the walls of the casinos and I wanted to bring shopping back out to the street so shoppers can walk up and down, window shop and buy, and have a shopping experience unlike any other in Vegas,” Siegel told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “We’ll be bringing in unique tenants and we not only want them to sell their merchandise but to interact with consumers in a real time way so shoppers are compelled to hang around,” he said.

Siegel said he’s aiming to open the Grand Bazaar Shops between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. “More than 20 million people walk by this corner every year, so imagine the ability to present and promote your brand to that many people during the course of the year,” he said. “There aren’t a lot of places where that can happen.”
