- ghaff 6y agoYou probably are. Go to Vegas and there are whole shopping malls where, to indulge in just a degree of hyperbole, I'd have to look hard to find something I could afford. Or at least would even consider affording.

- _bxg1 6y agoIn fairness, conspicuous consumption is one of the primary draws of Vegas. Probably not a very representative example.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoAnd it's also a one-off, in a national and international sense. It's like judging consumption levels in the Muslim world by Dubai.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoNYC has more than one of these sort of malls.

Or at least would even consider affording. IIRC, Americans don't really shop at those stores. Their costumers are mainly foreign nouveau rich people.
