Grand Bazaar Shops — Local services in Paradise

A lively spot for casual shopping, quick bites, and Strip-side vibes

🛍️ Shopping Experience

Located right outside Horseshoe (formerly Bally’s) and across from the Bellagio fountains, the Grand Bazaar Shops is an open-air retail area filled with small kiosks, souvenir stores, clothing boutiques, and quick-service restaurants.

It’s not a high-end mall, but more of a casual, flea-market-style setup with a Vegas twist.

Great if you’re looking for affordable souvenirs, quirky gifts, sunglasses, or snacks without the markup you’d see inside the hotels.

Some stalls rotate, which adds a fresh element each visit.

🍔 Food & Drinks

There’s a solid mix of grab-and-go food, including local favorites like:

Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken

Giordano’s (deep-dish pizza)

Born and Raised (sports bar-style burgers & drinks)

Island Time Floats and daiquiri bars for tropical cocktails on the move The food is affordable by Vegas standards and perfect for refueling between sightseeing or shows.

🎶 Atmosphere & Vibe

The Grand Bazaar has a fun, laid-back vibe, especially in the evenings with music playing and lights glowing.

It’s family-friendly during the day, but more geared toward adults at night when the bars fill up.

While it can get busy, it’s rarely overwhelming compared to nearby attractions like LINQ or the Forum Shops.

⚠️ A Few Considerations

Some shops are repetitive (souvenirs, sunglasses, etc.)

It’s not luxury shopping—think street market meets Vegas energy

A few stalls may feel “touristy” or overpriced depending on what you’re after

Weather can affect the experience, since it's outdoors

✅ Final Verdict

The Grand Bazaar Shops is best viewed as a casual stop for a snack, a drink, or a quick gift—not a full shopping spree destination. The location is excellent, right on the Strip, and the food and people-watching make it worth a visit—just know what to expect.

Great for:

Quick souvenirs

Affordable food

Casual strolls in the heart of Vegas

Not ideal for:

High-end fashion

I was here on the evening of Tuesday July 10, 2018. The shops and restaurants were fabulous. I give it 1 star because of the security officers. My 14 son went missing. My daughter went to find a security officer to ask for help. The 1st security officer she found was to busy playing kissy face with a woman while he was working. He just ignored my daughter. We then approached 2 female security officers who just turned to look at us and then walk off. I’m appalled at the way these security officers handled their job. They didn’t even want to hear what we needed help with. We did find my son on our own. But, Bally’s, why even have security if they aren’t going to help when an emergency happens? The people at Giordano’s pizza did more to help us find my son than the security...

There is an outdoor shopping plaza just outside Bally's that is an ok place to do a bit of shopping for those walking up or down The Strip. The bazaar layout is colourful and interesting, sort of a beach vibe.

Mostly filled with local retail shops, there are a couple of bars in the back and a half-price show ticket shop near the front. In the back, there is a recently opened 24 hour Starbucks which featuring innovative stadium-style indoor seating. Coffee drinks were decent as well when we visited, better than what was being served at the Java Coast and Nosh eatery inside Bally's.

Overall, not critical for those seeking a bit of shopping during trips to Las Vegas. However, might make a neat stop for those passing by or staying at Ballys or other nearby...
