If you are staying in the downtown area, the outlets are a nice little shopping break. You can easily take cab to the outlets for around $5-6. They usually have cabs waiting so you can also catch a quick ride back.

The last time I went it was Dec. and it was quite chilly outside, you may want to pack a jacket if you go in the winter time since the walk area between all the stores is outdoor.

If you need a little energy booster from the shopping they have an indoor food court. If you need a fancier break, they also have a restaurant.

One of the best stores I found had everything priced at $5 or $10...pajama pants and coats and jackets....cheap cheap cheap...sure they weren't name brand..and super high quality but at that price you could buy a coat if you were cold and toss it afterwards..

We spent quite a few hours at this outlet and had to buy another suitcase to get our shopping home to Australia. Our dollar was very healthy so we shopped and shopped. Makeup and perfume is very good here, about half price to what you pay in Australia. The sporting outlets like Nike, Puma and Reebok sell t-shirts for around US$10 so I bought 10! Guess was also alot cheaper. There is a Disney store which I found more stuff to buy for kids than there was at Disneyland and much cheaper. We liked this outlet better than the Fashon Outlet Mall further out of Las Vegas. I only purchased goods from GAP at that one.
