The Gateway Shopping Center

The Gateway shopping Center (the daylight photo), is the newest, most popular shopping area in Salt Lake City. It opened in November of 2001, just a few months before the Olympics. In general, Salt Lake does not have great shopping - certaining nothing like Europe or the large cities in the U.S. But the Gateway brought some good shopping to town.

The closest location for good shopping is Las Vegas, Nevada, which is about 6 hours south of Salt Lake City, and known mostly for its casinos. This is a photo of the Bellagio in Las Vegas, one of the best resorts in town. The fountains you see in the photo of The Gateway were designed by the same people who designed the fountains you see in front of the Bellagio. Both fountains are choreographed to music.
