French-Italian apparel manufacturer and lifestyle brand Moncler has opened its first Las Vegas boutique inside The Forum Shops at Caesars.  Founded in 1952 by René Ramillon, Moncler is most known for its down jackets and sportswear. The Moncler shopping experience seeks to combine the two main tenets that have always been core to the brand - to deliver absolute elegance through a detailed, design focus with a modern and urban aesthetic and to provide comfort and practicality at all times. The unique retail space is defined by a series of sumptuous details: oak is used for both floors and ceilings, while irregular French paneling carved with intricate detail adorns the walls, a warm and embracing atmosphere dominates through the use of natural and rustically imperfect materials.

Newly-opened on the second level of The Forum Shops, Zadig & Voltaire is all about casual-chic: it is a state of mind, a musical inclination, and fashion as a bold statement. With rock’n’roll in its blood and art as its inspiration, the brand has naturally become a “concept store” ahead of its time. In stores, its collections are accompanied by music compilations from the brand’s label. It is art and luxury at an affordable price: this was Thierry Gillier’s vision.

“The Forum Shops is one of the original shopping destinations in Vegas so it seemed like a perfect place for Zadig to start,” said Al Abayan, Chief Creative Officer, Zadig et Voltaire North America. “Las Vegas is a major resort city in the United States with a majority of its visitors international.  With Zadig et Voltaire having a large international presence in many countries and a growing USA presence, it was the perfect place to open a store and show the story of the brand.”

Brooklyn-based jewelry brand Alexis Bittar opens its first stand-alone boutique in Las Vegas at The Forum Shops at Caesars.

Zitz.

“The Forum Shops at Caesars welcomes millions of visitors from across the globe each year,” said CEO and Creative Designer Alexis Bittar. “I am really excited to open our first Las Vegas location at such an iconic shopping destination in this dynamic city.”

In an ongoing effort to provide visitors to The Forum Shops the best shopping experience by improving ease of customer access and increased open sight lines, several property enhancements have recently been completed including the new Laocoon Fountain and Escalator.

The new escalator alongside the dazzling new fountain provides guests a straight shot to the third level where they will discover additional dining venues and retailers.
