Is it cheaper to buy clothes for a Vegas vacation in Hawaii or Vegas?
I’m going to Vegas for the first time with my boyfriend soon and not only do I not know what to wear, but I don’t know if I should buy it here in Hawaii or wait til I get to Vegas. I’ve had mixed answers from people in Hawaii. Some saying Vegas is cheaper while others saying the opposite. Any answers from people with more experience?
Vegas is way cheaper but don’t buy in the hotel malls. You can go over to the Fashion Show Mall and there’s oodles of shops and good prices too. FYI the Fashion Show Mall is across Spring Mt from the TI.
Stores include Nordstroms, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Dillards, Bebe, Express, Hot Topic, J. Crew, the Limited and lots and lots of others all price ranges.
We do have a sales tax of 8.10% so factor that in.

Buy in Vegas. In Vegas, you can go off the Strip to buy stuff. In Hawaii, you’re always on the island (and subject to the higher costs that come with the higher shipping costs to the retailers).
Have fun in Vegas!

Been to both places and Las Vegas is much cheaper. Vegas also has more variety of places to shop if you have the time.
Here are places to shop in Vegas and Outlet malls.

bring your comfy clothes from home…you can buy some cool clothes in Vegas, BUT NOT ON THE STRIP(too costly) Go to the Boulavard Mall easy to get to from the strip.

Vegas is ok for shopping but you have to keep in mind how much you can bring back because of the airline restrictions. Vegas is a really kicked back kinda place. You only dress up if you’re going to a club or fancy restaurant.

actually if you buy clothes from the Vegas strip it’s expensive. The outlets are cheaper, but do you have time to go buy it.
We live in San Francisco. it’s not cheaper… but we know where to buy it. So if you live in Hawaii, just buy it there.. or if you go to Vegas for 4 days, just bring 2 days worth of clothes and then buy it there..
Hope this helps.

i would buy the clothes in vegas, there are like 3 outlet malls there and the pirceing is way better in the main land. i went to hawaii one time years ago and i could not belive how high the pice was for stuff brought over from the main land. you can get more for your money buying at the outlet malls in vegas, or eaven buying from the non outlet malls
