yet another great Downtown Las Vegas find! apparently, it's the brain-child of the founder of Zappo's (whose company headquarters is located in DTLV). this place is awesome.
it's got a unique pull being that these shops and bars are housed in shipping containers, which makes it a great place to have small local businesses set up shop as well as a great tourist attraction that's even family-friendly because of the different eateries within the Park. the playground in the middle of it all is very reminiscent of Disneyland's "Tarzan's Treehouse" attraction because of the spiral stairs up to the second level and the skybridge along the top.
a very cool place to meet with friends and get the night started if you don't intend on doing the whole expensive dressed-up clubbing thing on the strip. there's a variety of shops and the drinks are great, plus you're walking distance to other cool DTLV attractions once you exit the Container Park.
