Shelley,

I think the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace will have what you're looking for. I know they have a Juicy Couture store--can't remember if they have a Chanel boutique or not. I did manage to drop some $$$ on a wonderful Coach bag, though

When you say "look a like", do you mean fakes/knock-offs??

Tess,

I think Shelley is asking about finding a *knockoff* ;-)

I'm not sure if they are sold on the streets of LV the way they are in NYC.

But the Forum Shops are for the real ones !

Yes, I am looking for knock off. I would appreciate the help finding a dealer.

Save it, shelley9038.
Just search online or eBay.
What the heck is a knock-off dealer? Is there a respected distribution channel of fake stuff made in China?

Shelley,

You're not going to find that stuff in Vegas--at least I've never seen knock-offs (maybe some cheap sunglasses but that's about it) there.

Do what I did--took some of my gambling $$ that would have been blown in a day and bought the real thing (see Coach above )

I agree w/those above--we have walked the length of the Strip and never seen the kinds of displays one sees all over NYC. Maybe there are other spots for those things off the Strip, but I have never heard of LV being a knock-off center....I do believe--not completely sure--however, that I have heard that there is an outlet mall, that would have the real things at outlet store prices....

You can find knock offs at the Fantastic indoor swap meet, 1717 S. Decatur open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You will need a car because the cab fare will be kinda high, I suspect $40 or so round trip. You need to ask the kiosk owners if they have any additional inventory, as they keep things in the back, perhaps because they are illegal, I'm not sure. I don't think the people selling the things there are funneling money to terrorist organizations, but who knows. But yes, they are there.

Shelley, Just got back from Vegas and I remember seeing knock off bags (at least Louis Vuitton) at some of the tacky shops at the Stratosphere.
