8 places to buy a Quinceañera dress in Las Vegas

Every year in the United States, more than 500,000 Hispanic young women say “yes” to the dress, the quinceañera dress, that is. 

Picking a gown for this traditional coming-of-age celebration is as personal and important as picking a wedding gown, and often just as expensive. The dresses are typically full-length ball gowns, like something a princess wears in a fairytale.

In Las Vegas, there are more than a dozen shops carrying these fancy schmancy dresses. Some also carry prom dresses, tuxedos and wedding gowns, while others stick strictly to quinceañeras. In most cases, the birthday girl has the option to pick from a catalog or order a custom design. 

With that in mind, here are 8 places to buy a quinceañera dress in Las Vegas.
