What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Laughlin Outlet Center is widely described as a 'ghost mall' with very few stores remaining. While some visitors find its abandoned state eerie and fascinating for photography, most reviews advise against visiting for shopping, citing closures, broken amenities, and a general lack of activity.
"Every single thing is closed. There's only one shop that might have been opened, but on a Saturday at 12, it was closed. Everything is abandoned, there's one AC running for the entire place. So if you want to kill 15 minutes walking through a creepy abandoned mall, check it out. All the doors are unlocked."

"I think completely abandoned. “Mall entrance “ door is not openable. The food court downstairs is so creepy with a singing and laughing child playing from the quarter machine car. There is a Bank of America ATM behind the escalator though"
Nora Ng
"Follow up. Last visited back in November 2024, revisited on March 18, 2025. Only 4 stores open now. Two moved out in-between. The candy store and the Watchman store.
I, for one was very surprised to see the building was still open when I went it."
