If heading home for the holidays is the opposite of what you'd like to do this season, Las Vegas just might be your ticket (unless you're from Vegas, in which case we suggest, perhaps, Austin?). Vegas offers the obvious decadent activities—and as we all know, knowledge of participating in them will remain within city limits. But it's a little known fact that the City of Sin also offers rich retail terrain that features not just the expected luxury shopping spots for high rollers, but some unique local shops as well. Thanks to our new Racked Vegas editor, we (and you) are now in the know. Let the suckers play roulette while you shop with the money you didn't lose gambling.
