Las Vegas Premium Outlet North

Going to this outlet mall when in Las Vegas for holiday is very convenient.
Public transport (bus) is easily accessible from various part of the strip.

We were staying at New York New York and the bus stop is just opposite the hotel in front of MGM. We started off at about 10am and purchased tickets the vending machine at the bus stop. It was USD8/pax for a 24-hour all access pass. We didn't have to wait too long for the North-bound bus to arrive. The bus was a bit crowded with a mix of tourists and locals. We spotted some who didn't purchase tickets on the bus too. About half way through the journey, a conductor boarded the bus checking all tickets, those who took a free ride were very alert and alighted before the conductor reached them. The bus went through the major hotels along the strip before reaching the mall.
It was a very simple ride, though if you take a cab, it will be faster minus the stops and indirect route.

We even bought a luggage because one of ours broke-down in Tokyo en-route here

The return bus stop is just opposite the place where we alight

Total "damages" for one day :)

The weather was good, sunny and not humid. Do bring water as it is expensive to buy from vending machine. There is a food court within the mall. We had lunch there in between shopping.
