Town Square Review
Featuring stunning architecture, pleasant walkways and a village-like atmosphere, Town Square is not like any other shopping center in Las Vegas. Once you enter this facility, it actually feels like you're in the heart of a historic metropolitan city.
But unlike major cities, you won't have to worry about confusing one-way streets, traffic or difficult parking. With 5,800 parking spaces available, guests can choose from three different parking garages or sidewalk meter parking.
The 1.5-million-square-foot facility is located on the south end of the Strip, just past Mandalay Bay and Luxor. Featuring 70 different facades, Town Square portrays a city that has aged over time. Architects and designers traveled across the globe to get ideas for these buildings. The result? Colorful, Mediterranean, Spanish and Colonial-style facades along with antique street poles as accents.
The 117-acre Town Square not only offers an eclectic mix of retail shops and a variety restaurants, but an 18-screen RAVE movie theater, a 13,000-square-foot children's park (complete with a hedge maze, two-story tree house and a slide) and an adjacent picnic area that occasionally hosts outdoor movie nights and live performances during the warmer months.
Even though the space is large, shoppers don't have to worry about excessive walking. Town Square created specific sections suited for a shopper's taste. For instance, one particular area of the property features children's clothing stores and accessories. Stores catering to young adults include Abercrombie and Fitch, Aeropostale and Hollister. Visitors can easily pop in and out of these stores without having to travel across the entire center.
Other popular shops include Aldo, Banana Republic, Sephora, MAC, Bath & Body Works, Steve Madden and Victoria's Secret. Find a bevy of trendy, yet affordable items at H&M and Old Navy. In addition, you'll come across establishments typically not found in shopping mall settings, such as Whole Foods and Yogurtland.
If the nightlife scene is more your thing, Town Square has a niche for this as well. Yard House offers a wide selection of beer as well as an eclectic bar food menu. Featuring indoor and outdoor seating as well as a dance floor, Blue Martini features creative martini selections and appetizers in a hip, edgy atmosphere.
If you want a quick getaway from the Strip without actually leaving Las Vegas Boulevard, then this shopping center is for you. Located near Interstate 15 and the Interstate 215 Beltway, Town Square is also a convenient drive for Las Vegas residents all over the valley.
