I'm a bit late, but I'm throwing in some LA opinions.
The fact that this is now an upscale mall is hilarious to me. This is where we'd go on the weekends when I was in middle school. Highlights included Wet Seal, Forever 21, and Claire's. But it's definitely a luxury shopping location now!
Has the stores. Does not have the world's greatest parking. I don't know anyone who shops here unless they really want Oscar de la Renta. See below for my thoughts on that.
The one in BH? I don't think it's quite what it used to be. It's fine, but I certainly wouldn't make a destination out of it. More thoughts on NM below.
Rodeo Drive has just about every designer you could possibly want, and it's definitely a must-see on a first trip to LA. However, it's also a massive tourist trap, full of influencers taking photos for their posts. And there have been crime issues in the last few years (although things are considerably better now).
The one in BH is going to be amazing when it reopens next week.
The thing that isn't mentioned here (but I alluded to it above) is that, while not in LA proper, Orange County has two amazing malls. South Coast Plaza has everything Rodeo has, plus Oscar de la Renta. The sales tax is also cheaper, and no one is rushing to post their SCP selfies on Instagram. Fashion Island is a dream mall, and their NM blows BH out of the water. I would highly encourage any luxury shopper who is serious about shopping and not interested in tourist destinations to visit one or both malls!
