The Shops at Wailea

Stylish, upscale, and close to most of the resorts, this mall brings high fashion to Wailea. Luxury brands such as Gucci, Cos Bar, and Tiffany & Co. are represented, as are less expensive chains like Billabong, Lululemon, and Tommy Bahama. Daily events include lei making, ukulele lessons, and hula performances. If you're peckish, grab some elevated pub food at Pint & Cork, island-style fare at Tommy Bahama Restaurant and Pub, or takeaway from Island Gourmet Markets, which also sells grocery essentials and locally made food products

Showcase Mall

South Strip

"Mall" is a bit of a misnomer here, where stores are more like highly evolved interactive marketing concepts. First off, there's M&M'S, the four-story homage to the popular candy, where huge dispensers with every color and type line one wall. More sugar awaits you at the Coca-Cola Store, where the Around the World Tray brings you 14 sparkling and still beverage flavors from around the world. Be sure to get a photo of the 100-foot bottle of Coca-Cola outside. The flagship two-story Lids store has all sorts of team-branded merchandise. Post sugar buzz, you can head to the Hard Rock Cafe to browse the interactive video Rock Wall or buy T-shirts, Las Vegas–branded clothing, and souvenirs. The Showcase Mall's parking structure is right next to the MGM Grand; the best access is from the fifth floor, where a pedestrian bridge crosses into the mall. A less hectic option is to park at any of the surrounding hotels (MGM Grand, NY–NY, Park MGM) and walk here.

Town Center at Boca Raton

Over on the west side of the interstate in Boca, this indoor megamall has over 220 stores and just about every major high-end designer. But not every shop here requires deep pockets. The Town Center at Boca Raton is also firmly rooted with a variety of more affordable national brands like Gap.

Town Square

South Strip

Constructed to resemble Main Street America with open-air shopping and dining, this 100-acre complex contains more than 150 shops, including MAC and Sephora cosmetics, H&M, Apple, Saks Off Fifth, and Tommy Bahama. When you tire of shopping (or when the kids do, anyway), there's also a children's play area, a multiplex cinema, and rides on the Town Square train. Lazy Dog lets you bring Fido on the patio, while Yard House brings pub fare. There's also a Brio Italian Grill, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, and several other on-site eateries, including a Whole Foods Market. The Stoney's Rockin' Country dance and live-music venue fires up the country tunes Thursday through Saturday.  Need to make a quick stop? Town Square offers curbside parking so you don't have to schlep all the way from one of three parking garages to your shopping destination.

Tucson Mall

Foothills

This indoor mall has Dillard's, Macy's, a large food court, and more than 200 specialty shops. For tasteful Southwestern-style T-shirts, belts, jewelry, and prickly pear candies, check out the shops on "Arizona Avenue," a section on the first floor that's devoted to regional items.

University Village

University District

This upscale, open-air mall has "University" in its name because of its location, northeast of the UW campus, but you won't see a lot of students here. Clientele are mainly residents of the well-to-do surrounding neighborhoods, drawn by a long list of familiar chains (Williams-Sonoma, Banana Republic, L'Occitane, Sephora, Warby Parker, H&M, Madewell, Apple, Anthropologie, Kiehl's) mixed with some local favorites (including candy wonderland The Confectionery and artsy gift shop Fireworks). There are also good dining options, including the enormously popular international dumpling chain Din Tai Fung. Overall, it's a pleasant shopping experience, but a bit conventional by Seattle standards and a whole different world from the rest of the U-District.

Via Bellagio

Center Strip

Steve Wynn spared no expense to create Bellagio, so be prepared to spare no expense shopping at its exclusive boutiques. Elegant luxury stores, such as Prada, Chanel, Gucci, Harry Winston, and Tiffany & Co., line a long passage. When you're ready to cool your heels, dine on the balcony at Spago, right in the promenade, to snag the best patio seat (first-come, first-served) for watching the Fountains of Bellagio (aka dancing waters).

Waikele Premium Outlets

Armani Exchange, Calvin Klein, Coach, and Saks Fifth Avenue outlets anchor this discount destination of around 50 stores.

Waikiki Beach Walk

Waikiki

This open-air mall at the west end of Kalakaua Avenue and next to the Royal Hawaiian Center contains 70 locally owned stores and restaurants. Get reasonably priced, fashionable resort wear at Mahina or buy local delicacies from the Poke Bar. Of course, you can pick up T-shirts, bathing suits, and casual beach attire here, too. The mall also features free local entertainment on its outdoor fountain stage at least once a week.

Wailea Gateway Center

Located at the top of Wailea, this center is comprised of commercial offices and a handful of fantastic dining options. Although lunch at chef Peter Merriman's Monkeypod is reason enough to venture here, you might also be enticed by eateries including Pita Paradise, Oao Sushi Bar, and the Market Maui.

Water Tower Place

Long considered the pinnacle of Chicago shopping, this multistory mall is so much more than a gathering of great retailers; it's also home to Broadway Playhouse (where you can see Broadway-quality touring shows), The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Chicago (known for amazing tea service), and a few restaurant and snack options. Regardless of these extras, you're going to want to shop. If you have kids, the LEGO Store is a must, as is the flagship American Girl Place store (it has a café and theater all its own). Fashion seekers can go to the usual faves: Aeropostale, Express, Forever 21, and Hollister California.

Westfield Century City

Century City

This mall that sits between Beverly Hills and Brentwood is home to dozens of great stores, restaurants, and a massive movie theater. The best options here include L.A.'s iteration of Eataly, the ultimate Italian market; Din Tai Fung, an award-winning dumpling house; and Shake Shack, the famous East Coast burger joint. Some unique stores include a Tesla showroom, a Peloton shop, and the new Venus et Fleur flower boutique.

Westfield Mission Valley

Mission Valley

This once generic mall has gone through some upgrades in recent years, adding shops like Eighteen Threads (the official retailer for San Diego's newest professional men's soccer team, San Diego FC) and eateries like 365° Korean BBQ and Novo Brazil Brewing. Other anchor businesses include Target, Michael's, AMC Theaters, and Bloomingdale's.

Westfield Topanga

Shopping malls and The Valley are forever linked thanks to Valley Girl and other iconic '80s flicks. If you feel your trip to the 818 isn't complete without a shopping spree, this is the best of those bastions of capitalism still standing due to a recent renovation, the best collection of high-end designers in town after Rodeo Drive (Balenciaga, Jimmy Choo, Bottega Veneta, Christian Dior, Hermes, Tiffany), a med spa, and L.A.'s biggest Nordstrom. The state-of-the-art movie theater has a bar and concessions delivered to your seat. Pinstripes offers bowling and bocce. Topanga Social, a huge food hall, is brimming with trusted local proprietors like Jinya Ramen, Amboy burgers, Katsu Sando, Slab, and singer Christina Milian's Beignet Box.

Westfield World Trade Center

Financial District

New Yorkers typically talk about the Oculus as the sprawling transportation hall housed under a soaring atrium that resembles a prehistoric skeleton. In truth, the interconnecting subway and commuter rail lines lie only at the periphery. What's actually under those ribs is the Westfield World Trade Center luxury shopping mall that houses stores like Apple, Breitling, COS, Sephora, Tumi, and many more. Seasonal exhibits, art installations, and occasional events are hosted on the giant atrium floor. Dining options include Epicerie Boulud and Eataly at the base of 4 WTC (on the site's southeast corner). You'll find Devon & Blakely café and the British sandwich chain Pret a Manger in the West Concourse, which leads to the PATH station and trains to New Jersey. The Oculus is connected by an underground passage to the Fulton Center, which has a mezzanine-level food court with one of Lower Manhattan's two Shake Shacks.
