megamall

Massive shopping complex

A megamall is an exceptionally large shopping mall, typically featuring hundreds of stores, entertainment venues, restaurants, and sometimes hotels or amusement parks under one roof.

The term emphasizes scale beyond ordinary malls: The megamall has its own indoor roller coaster.

We spent the whole day wandering the megamall and still didn't see everything.
