Friday, Nov. 1, 2002 | 11:40 a.m.

Eager shoppers rushed under the roll-up door at Nordstrom as the 200,000-square-foot, full-line department store opens for its first day of business this morning at the Fashion Show mall on the Las Vegas Strip.

The Seattle company is one of about 80 new retailers, including Bloomingdale's Home, opening shops in the mall's west expansion over the next two months. The Rouse Co. is spending $1 billion to add 1 million square feet to the mall. The expansion will add a total of eight department-store anchors when Lord & Taylor joins the lineup next fall.
