Exercise That Plastic - View this location on map  'Las Vegas is a couture shopper's paradise, with Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Versace outposts all over town. But the new, three-story atrium at the Forum Shops at Caesars (702-893-4800), a trompe l'oeil and marble-colonnaded shopping paradise adjacent to Caesars Palace, also boasts hip young brands like Nanette Lepore, Juicy Couture, Agent Provocateur and Scoop NYC, above. Disregard the stern gaze of the Roman gods in the fountains: the gods of Las Vegas commerce endorse using platinum cards to buy $200 cashmere sweatpants. When you weary of the opulence, take the elevator to the top floor and dine in zen austerity at Sushi Roku (702-733-7373), a hushed retreat of river stone, dark wood and candlelight. Try the tuna tataki salad ($14) or the crunchy tempura shrimp and jalapeño roll ($10), and wash it down with a bamboo decanter of milky unfiltered sake ($19).''
