Gap

So I needed a camisole to wear under a shirt that, prior to this recent trip to Vegas, I had no idea how sheer (i.e., totally see-​through) it was. Yikes, epic fashion FAIL! So when I passed by this Gap store, I had to run in. Because when I think basic clothing pieces, I think The Gap.
Sure enough, they had cami’s a-​plenty. Many on sale, too. Bonus! Good quality cotton, good quality construction, damn good price (half off $ 9.99).
I was most impressed with the men’s section of the store (this large store is actually divided into three sections: mens, womens, and kids and body/​foundation sections). The mens section had some kick-​butt cool t-​shirts in graphic pop-​art-​esque graphics that talked to me. The womens section mostly had basic clothing (which, granted, has its place and was the reason why I had ventured in, after all). I didn’t really check out the «body» section other than to notice there were a ton of bras there. A TON.
So why only three stars, you may ask? Well, nobody greeted me in the store. Nobody offered to help me find anything. The womens section was a bit in disarray, with items found in the wrong areas (wrong shelves or racks). And when I found the cami I wanted and brought it to the cashier in the womens section, a sales clerk from beyond called out that this cash was closed. I then ventured into the mens section where a male clerk informed me that the cash there was closed as well, and I was directed to the furthest section, the body section, where the only cashier was open. Strange.

So what happens when you’re going to a conference but you forget your pants and all you have to wear is the shorts you have on?
Well, you go to the Gap and quickly purchase some trousers!
I came here to get some emergency pants and they helped me out. Not only did I get two pair of pants but they were both on sale for half price!
I was very excited about the whole thing. Clearly, it doesn’t take much to get me excited.

Comparable to the Gaps I frequent back home, but what did surprise me was how tidy this particular location was. Not sure whether this was because it was nearing the end of the day or because the huge space was empty except for maybe one other customer, but regardless, I appreciated how easy it was to shop. Staff was very friendly, knowledgable, and genuinely attentive, but not overbearing, which was also a relief (no one likes employees who don’t let you shop in peace or appear irritable when you ask a question).

To my knowledge, this is the only Gap Body in Las Vegas, unless you count the one at the Forum Shops, which is just a section of the Gap store and pretty much just carries underwear. This one has more selection by far.
The sales associate made the unfortunate mistake of being friendly and helpful. Sales associates be warned: I DO want your help! Unless you work at Victoria’s Secret. Then, go away and let me shop for underwear in peace. Otherwise, I like salespeople. Can you help me find this in another size? What about this one? Can I have a dressing room? Does this come in other colors? What else do you have in this fabric? Yes, please check every other store in the vicinity. OOH! I love THAT shirt. Where is it? You only have the one on the mannequin? Yes, please get it down for me.
When I was a sales associate, I loved customers like me, although I understand that not everyone feels this way. The staff at GAP was very accommodating and had no problem helping out in any way they could.

Located inside the Miracle Mile Mall attached to the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. I like the Gap, they have better merchandise than Old Navy.
This Gap has a Baby Gap, Kid’s Gap, and Body Gap all connected together, which is convenient.
Some of the floor employees were pretty helpful and friendly.
The clearance area was a mess… customers throwing clothes around in piles. Extra 40% off clearance is worth dropping apparel all over the floor and pretend to not see it.
My only BAD impression of this place was the cashier in the Body Gap… who seemed to have the I.Q. of a potato.
Thanks for shoving my purchases into a tiny Gap bag like it was an army duffel bag. Don’t bother folding them at all, I happen to like a bag full of badly wrinkled clothing… they make better Christmas presents.
Plus, if you ask for a gift box with tissue, she hands you a box of Kleenex… really? If you show her the sign next to the register that says «Complimentary Gift Boxes with tissue», she will stare at you like you just spoke some language from outer space… (sigh!) I guess it’s better to be waited on by a cashier with no brain, than a rude one.

Same as any Gap.
But beer makes it better.
