GREEN PACKING
I heard about this place but I had to go check it out myself. It is a short 2 block walk from the Fremont Street experience. My only advice is to keep your eyes open in the back of your head. It is a short but seedy walk.
Once you arrive you are greeted by a giant metal bug at the entrance. It is made of recycled stuff. The whole mall is made of those metal shipping containers you see on boats, trains & trucks. I thought that was an incredible way to recycle and go green. It also reminded me of my days of being a child when I stacked blocks. I can not confirm this but the architect might be 5 years old.
I was really happy to see this place get packed at lunch time which means the tourists are coming down here. There are plenty of outdoor tables and many people were eating at the various restaurants located here. There is a great outdoor stage which has various musical acts. I would check the website for up coming bands.
There is an old caboose which has been turned into a barber shop. Bring the kids because I am sure they have never seen one of these in real life. So it's like visiting a museum while shopping and eating.
I highly recommend getting out of the casino area and walking here. You will enjoy relaxing in the sun without the pressures of Vegas beating down on you. Trust me when I say, you will be happy you did.
