"While this is Las Vegas, we are still sensitive to the fashion trends out there," she says. The shop's many options include a long-sleeved Roland Mouret dress in an emerald leopard print, a one-shoulder Monique Lhuillier gown, and an assortment of embellished green sunglasses from Chanel, Bulgari, and Oliver Peoples.

"We have the gentleman who goes to the nightclubs and who is looking for something a bit more hip, like our Viktor & Rolf, Margiela, and Zegna," she says, "but we also have the guy who likes yachting and appreciates [Mojitos'] assortment of Paul & Shark." In addition to its lightweight emerald knitwear, the upscale boutique currently carries exclusive designs, like a rock 'n' roll Viktor & Rolf embellished suit.
