Famous last word…read moreas it starts with window shopping which then leads into walking into a store and treating yourself. Clearly never hurts anyone. This area is an outdoor space with a decent amount of the higher end stores. It's stretches out a few block radius but the Main Street, El Paseo is where majority of the storefronts are. But then you have the outdoor mall, not really a mall but a little shopping strip. Here is where most of the higher end shops are located. You have Gucci, Bottega Venetta, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Company, to name a few. Not to mention a fairly decent amount of restaurants to add to the mix. Quite a few steakhouse and seafood restaurants. Plenty of parking along the street as well as the parking structure behind which is covered. The property and layout of the district is beautiful. Of course the desert theme is active with all the cactus and succulents. A few water features and a good amount of seating with umbrella from the sun. Even if you window shop or just browse the streets, this area is quite beautiful and nicely done. A fairly decent amount of stores and loads of restaurants. It's worth checking out. It's where you'll find the higher retailers in the desert.

Manicured & meticulously planted raised median on El Paseo displays a multitude of outdoor artworks as one strolls or drives along the "Rodeo Drive of the Dessert". There are free yellow courtesy carts which operates seasonally from mid-October through May to shuttle people along El Paseo. Street parking can be difficult at times, however there are two parking structures at The Gardens on El Paseo and at El Paseo Village. Also, many storefronts have some parking behind them.

This place would be your typical covered indoor mall. Theres not much to it besides the main stores with Macys, Dicks and JC Pennys as they're major department stores. They have some of the other basics you would get inside any mall. HM, Finish Line, Hollister, Lids, Vans, Bath and Body Works and so on. Your regular retail chain stores. It's a decent size mall that you could walk down the whole strip in no time. Not overly big. Lately whenever I pop in to windows shop, it's not that busy. But I guess now as school is starting soon it has picked up a lot. They do have some restaurants as well as smaller snack booth. It's sucks that this is the only mall in the desert. You would think that they would make it way better to cater to everyone. But I guess it's going well so far. Not a lot of stores that I've been to as they're new to me. Plenty of parking with outdoor as well as a covered parking structure in the back.

They have the stores that you find in every mall that I usually stop in the first time to see what they have like Box Lunch, Miniso, Tokyo Japanese Lifestyle, etc. It is nice that this location has a Barnes and Nobles (though so many of them now are just glorified toy stores now...) and when I went they had a dog rescue pop up here too, which was nice. Love when malls reach out to the community. Love Crepe-ing Ramen that they have in the food court. Good to kill a bit of time and to absorb AC but it's not anything spectacular.

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.

I went when it was extremely hot weather, so we couldn't tolerate the heat. Therefore, we only stayed for like about an hour. The stores did have ac, but walking outside was unbearable. At least now I know where to go shopping next time I return to Palm Desert in more cool weather.

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. You could walk around but there's nothing much from that.

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
