I kept hearing people talk about deals at Fontainebleau Las Vegas lately, so last Tuesday I grabbed my comfy sneakers and drove over to check out the stores myself. Took me like 20 minutes finding parking in that massive garage – seriously, remember to take a photo of your section or you’ll wander forever.
Starting My Hunt
First thing after entering, I headed straight to the fashion area near the main casino floor. Saw this gorgeous leather jacket in the window at Fendi, but the price tag made me choke. Instead I ducked into Hugo Boss where they were doing a “spend $300 get $75 back” thing on hotel cards. The shirts looked crisp so I tried a few, grabbed a blue one that fit perfectly.
Pro tip: Wear easy-off shoes if you plan serious shopping. Those tiny fitting rooms aren’t built for lace adjustments.
The Surprise Find
Was about to leave when I spotted these weird escalators going down near the sportsbook. Followed them and bam! Whole hidden level with outlet-style shops. This little boutique called Bleau Collective had designer stuff at wild discounts – got last season’s Prada shades for 60% off. They even threw in free polarized lenses.
Beauty Bargains
Nearly missed the cosmetics section tucked behind slot machines. Sephora had double points for hotel guests, plus these travel kits perfect for my Vegas trip next month:
- Mini perfume set
- Sunblock bundle
- Shimmer body spray
The salesgirl demoed this new foundation on my hand and next thing I knew my wallet was $80 lighter. Whoops.
Final Haul & Regrets
Total damage was $487 but felt like I robbed the place with all the extras:
- Branded Fontainebleau beach towel (free with $100+ purchase)
- Tote bag from the beauty counter
- Lounge access passes from some perfume promotion
Only regret? Should’ve brought water. Took me 15 minutes to find a damn drinking fountain. Those mirrored hallways mess with your head after hours.
My feet were killing me by 7pm but I spotted the exit next to a pizza place with massive slices. Sat there people-watching while eating, thinking how Vegas stores make you feel like a treasure hunter. Definitely going back next month after payday – saw Ferragamo loafers calling my name.
