Thanksgiving Shopping & Dinner (ignorant Aussie)

Staying at the Cosmo Will be checking out of our hotel at lunch time on the 24th ( hoping for a late checkout) probably leave for airport 8p , flight doesn't leave till 10p ish . No Car

Wondering if Vegas shops start their big Sale on Your Thanksgiving Thursday ? If so where has the best mid range or outlet shopping ?

Also seeing as we won't be flying out till late where would be a nice , not over the top expensive place for dinner be somewhere near The Cosmopolitan?

I notice that all the MyVegas coupons are blacked out for the 24th , will there be plenty of places still available for dinner or do you need to make reservations ahead for that day

Hmmm what to do for 7.5 hours on Thanksgiving ( probably lose my gambling budget in the first half an hour)

 

Simon Malls are supposed to be open for a time on Thanksgiving so that would cover the Forum Shops and probably the outlet malls.Most retail stores opening on Thanksgiving will be open later in the afternoon or early evening. As for dinner, whatever you do, make a reservation.
