I don't have unity but you might try right clicking top panel. On the drop-down menu, go down to "panel" and on the new drop-down menu click on "add new items". Then click on "action button" (it might have a different name in Unity) which will place the name of the user on the top panel. When you click on the user name, you will have a few choices like "log out", "shut down", etc. The above works on xfce and Gnome desktops, and I imagine it will work on Unity as well.
If this does not work, you can use the terminal to shutdown.
and then hit the "Enter" key (after suppying your user password)
