Plaza Las Americas — Attraction in Cancún

The largest shopping mall in Cancun, actually two shopping malls fused together an old one and a not very new. The food court has been relocated and brand new with air conditioning and a lot of variety of both chain and local restaurants, a major improvement over the old nasty one.

There is also a casino here…really. This is not really a “tourist” mall, so you’re not going to find any souvenir shops here, but you can still find some nice gifts that are better than your...
