I visisted the Mall of Americas a few years ago on a stop-over coming back from a holiday. I had 6 hours in Minneapolis and thought why not go to the mall. The airport has direct shuttles to the mall. It took only a few minutes to get there so parking wasn't a problem. The mall has everything you could want: good anchor stores and everything inbetween. However, I guess I was expecting more as I was able to see and do it all in a matter of a few hours. I thought it might be as good as the West Edmonton Mall but it's not. It seems a lot smaller. Maybe that's because it's on several floors and not as spread out. West Ed has way more to offer but MOA is certainly a good choice. It wasn't very busy when I was there which was really nice (weekday)
Pros: variety, no crowds
