Department 56

Notes: Located at the Miracle Mile Shops in the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino

From Department 56--

One Christmas evening, a group of friends set off to enjoy a dinner of celebration at a small country inn nestled in a quiet river town. As they rounded a bend in the road, they saw the small, old-fashioned village decorated for the holidays. The lights, like fairies, glowed and sparkled amid the freshly fallen snow. All evening, the conversation was full of Christmas memories and the visions the tiny town had evoked. Amidst the jovial banter and magical memories, the idea for a lighted Christmas village was born. That spark of an idea became a reality when, in 1976, Department 56 introduced a series of six hand-painted, ceramic buildings. The rest is history.

A Simpler Time

Phone: 702.796.1210
Address: 3663 Las Vegas Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89109

Notes: Located at the Miracle Mile Shops in the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino

A Simpler Time started in the nation's largest shopping mall, the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, in 1997, with the idea of giving shoppers an island of nostalgic tranquility in a modern sea of Gaps, Banana Rebublics and Limiteds.

Our store was about nostalgia, but more than that it was about growing up in an age of innocence. Watching an otherwise somber businessman smile as he plays with a replica tin Roy Roger toy or listens to Glenn Miller on a replica turntable is a reward we get each and every day.

Lladro

Phone: 702.650.9894
Address: 3200 Las Vegas Blvd. So. Las Vegas, NV 89109

Notes: Located at the Fashion Show Mall

In 1953 Juan, José and Vicente Lladró make their first creations inspired by an experimental vocation in a Moorish furnace built in their own home in Almàssera (Valencia). In this way, they develop their artistic interest as they work in a tile and crockery factory. These carefully designed pieces already have a special charm that awakens public interest.
By 1955 they begin making sculptures in which a clear influence of the trends of the XVIII century can be observed. These pieces evoke the works of former porcelain artists such as Meissen, Sèvres and Capodimonte.

In 1958 Juan, José and Vicente decide to dedicate themselves exclusively to their own works and transfer their small company to a warehouse in the neighboring town of Tavernes Blanques, because the family workshop has become too small for their business. Demand for Lladró creations grows unexpectedly. The brothers introduce innovations not only in the design and style of the figurines but also in the firing techniques, reducing the three-layer firing to a one-layer process. One-firing is an innovative method which creates the crystalline finish and the pastel tonalities typical of Lladró works.

A growing number of sculptors, chemists and decorators increase the production of the brothers' work. They soon decide to incorporate a logo on all their figurines. Beside "Porcelanas Lladró", they add a Greek master piece, the Victory of Samotracia, thus associating their surname to the ideal of classical art.

By the end of this decade, Lladró opens a store in Valencia and two more within a few years' time.

Since then, FAO Schwarz has evolved from a small specialty toy store into a world-renowned shopping and tourist destination, and a leader in the world of specialty toys, with a rapidly-growing direct-to-consumer presence, including retail stores, catalog, and internet channels."
