Desert Outlets
The most famous on the West Coast is the Desert Hill Palm Springs Outlet near LA, which includes many top brands. It is divided into two areas, and if you want to visit each store, it really takes more than a day, so be prepared in advance and start with your favorite brands for a quick and efficient shopping experience. The bustling scene at the Coach store during my first visit a few years ago is still fresh in my memory, with everyone carrying multiple items as if they were free. The checkout lines were very long. Of course, the main consumers are compatriots and Mexicans. It seems that the strong Chinese purchasing power has been felt here, so many stores have Chinese signs and Chinese-speaking sales assistants. You don't have to worry about checkout either, as many places accept UnionPay cards.
The Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas
The Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas is located in Primm, 35 miles south of Las Vegas along Interstate 15 at the Nevada-California border. It has been repeatedly rated as the 'Best Shopping Destination'.
The characteristic of this outlet is that it is located on the main street of Las Vegas, making it very close. Therefore, it attracts many tourist shopping groups, and you can often see tour buses in the parking lot. As a result, there is rarely a chance to find particularly good deals.
There are no outlets in downtown San Francisco; most outlets are about an hour's drive from the city. Among them, Gilroy Premium Outlets is considered one of the older outlets in the Bay Area. The brands here are also relatively complete. It is recommended to check the brands on its official website before shopping to have a targeted shopping experience.
