Town Square

Las Vegas


South of the Strip, this village-style shopping center is geared more to locals than to tourists, with a range of mainstream and upscale chain shops, restaurants, happy-hour bars such as Blue Martini, and a Whole Foods supermarket. It may be worth the trip if you're traveling with kids just for the playground park, toy train and outdoor films in summer.
