Jim Potvin of Victoria, British Columbia, shops at Christian Dior in the Wynn hotel. Shopping in Las Vegas is great year-round, but there is a cycle to it. In mid-September and mid-March, you will find the best selection of new-season merchandise. There are sales every quarter, but twice a year mid-July to the end of August and mid-December to the end of February you will find the mother lode. (Isaac Brekken / For The Times)

Shoppers make their way through the Caesars Forum Shops. Because Las Vegas turns over 1 million new potential customers every week, the stores are incredibly well-stocked. (Isaac Brekken / For The Times)
