This little strip just tucked behind the 111 is a small but decent area with high end retail, restaurants, boutiques shops and more. Somewhat a little mini rodeo drive.... lol... There's plenty of street parking as well as some parking structure near the shopping center. Walking along the street are cute one of a kind boutiques, art galleries, restaurants of all sort and chain stores. It's well maintained to keep up that nice lush and posh feel. The outdoor mall area has your usual higher end retails with Arhaus home, Pottery Barn, Saks Fifth Ave, Gucci, Bottega Venetta, Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton, and more. Walking through the outdoor mall, it's a cute spot for lounging or just an afternoon of shopping. Beautiful landscape with nice seating areas. I feel like it caters more to the holiday makers than the locals. You'll have people constantly visiting the restaurant as there's loads of higher end dining as well as someplace for something fast and casual. Loads of cute art galleries and home decor stores. Majority of the retails are a little higher end but you'll get the regular shops like Alo, Anthropologie and more. It's a cute little shopping and dining area tucked in the desert. A fun place that worth checking out if you haven't been.

Something similar to the Northridge or even Burbank mall when I first walked in. There's plenty of parking and a covered structure which is a major plus out here in the desert. The summer heat and walking back to your car after it's been sitting out, no bueno. For the two main departments stores, Macys on one end and JC Penny's on the other end. Macys also has a home store which you don't see as often. The other bigger stores, Dicks and Barnes and Nobles. Then inside you have the usual stores, nothing fancy. There's your usual H&M which is decent size, Victoria Secrets, Hollister, American Eagle, Tilly's, Bath and Body Works, Express and a few other retail store you would expect inside a mall. Nothing fancy but the usual. Then there's some small business which seemed like they're family owned. The mall isn't that big, a good length from one end to the other. I walked in on Mother's Day's for the first time which they were hosting afternoon tea right in the middle of the plaza. It was cute and raffles were given with prizes offered from the retail insides. In my opinion, it's a mall. Nothing major or special about it. You would think that if it is the only main mall in town, it should be worth it. But I guess it'll do.

IT'S A WRAP is a NEW spot upstairs inside The Shops at Palm Desert that you do not want to miss…read more I was visiting the mall for the first time and almost walked past it since it is located upstairs in the food court, but once I noticed it, it immediately stood out from everything else around it. The first thing I saw was how FRESH and HEALTHY everything looked. The ingredients were vibrant and clearly prepared with care. After speaking with the owner, I learned this is a FAMILY OWNED business that recently opened, and I was one of their early customers. That made the experience even more meaningful. For my first visit, I tried the tuna wrap and it was AMAZING. The owner was PASSIONATE about the food and took the time to explain the menu and the value is great. You can tell there is real pride behind what they serve. They also offer WRAPS, FRESH SALADS, AND BURGERS, so there are plenty of options depending on what you want. The atmosphere was FRIENDLY, WELCOMING, AND FAMILY ORIENTED. If I am back at the mall, I will definitely come again. IF YOU ARE AT THE SHOPS AT PALM DESERT, GO UPSTAIRS AND CHECK OUT IT'S A WRAP. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Dear Hubby and I popped in this afternoon as we had specific things we were seeking, including a bathing suit for him, a USB cable for my phone charger, and a few other items. He scored a nice swimsuit on clearance for ten bucks at Marshall's! I found the USB cable with proper end for $7. I also picked up a couple of items I wasn't specifically looking for, but were good deals and will come in handy. It's really convenient to be able to check out TJ Maxx and Marshall's in the same plaza. There's lots of free parking. The architecture includes colorful tiles and distinctive domes, which are noticable even several blocks away. I didn't get a chance to take in the whole of the place, but did notice signs for Target, Aldi, and Best Buy. The next time we come to the desert, this will likely lure us again for essentials we forgot to bring from home.

From The looks of it, it looks pretty impressive. It's a cute walkway that with a mixture of Universal city walk and San Antonio River walk. Of course man made but a cute layout of the property. It's not that big and everything surrounds each other but it's worth a wander through. There's plenty of parking both to the side as well as plenty in the back lot. I think everything is pretty much out in the open as I didn't really see any covered parking spots. Location is amazing as it's pretty much near a lot of things. There's cute little spots throughout the desert that's worth checking out. I don't think it's someplace that you would hang out at for long. More for coming for a meal or the movies.

Dear Rancho Las Palmas Center Management:…read more I am a Rancho Mirage resident and wanted to share an observation regarding the condition of the Rancho Las Palmas Shopping Center at the corner of Bob Hope Drive and Hwy 111. Rancho Las Palmas is a nicely designed shopping center, and I believe it to be one of the standout strip malls in the area. However, the exterior wood siding on many of the retail buildings has become severely faded from prolonged sun exposure and is in need of re-staining, painting or some other upgrade. Its current condition is visually unappealing and undermines the appearance of this vibrant city strip mall. As a local resident concerned about the look/maintenance of our lovely desert city, I am curious to know if there any plans to address this maintenance issue at such a prominent location in the city? Regards, Chaise, Local resident
