== History ==
Grand Canal Shoppes opened in 1999. The place was a Venetian-styled shopping mall with 91 shops for retail, dining, and entertainment. Retail includes Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Sephora, and more. 
General Growth Properties acquired the 400,000 sq ft (37,000 m2) mall from Las Vegas Sands in 2004 for $776 million. 
In 2005, plans were made for an expansion to add 50 more shops for retail, dining, and more theater space. Plans were approved and built in 2007. The expansion was originally named "The Grand Canal Shoppes", but later was renamed "The Shoppes at the Palazzo" to reflect the name of the hotel. Now the mall has over 140 shops and eateries.
On May 16, 2013, General Growth sold half of its interest in the Grand Canal Shoppes, including the Shoppes at the Palazzo, in Las Vegas for net proceeds of $410 million as part of a new joint venture with TIAA-CREF.
