| - The District at Green Vally Ranch is a smaller, open air shopping center next to the GVR Casino. I enjoy it because it offers a few things other shopping centers in Las Vegas do not, and since it's not right by the Strip it seems to stay fairly uncrowded, even on weekends.
Some of the shops you will find at The District are REI, Williams Sonoma, The Pottery Barn, Anthropologie and even a Whole Foods Market. If you managed to work up an appetite while shopping, or just need a bite to eat, there is a nice variety of chain restaurants, my personal favorites are The Cheesecake Factory and Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ but Elephant Bar and PF Chang's are also good. And I adore the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for my caffeine fix.
One major plus of The District is there are lots of places to park. And if you aren't into retail therapy, there is still plenty to do! Live music on Friday and Saturday nights during the summer. The District is dog friendly, there are specific areas for your firry friend to do their business, complete with bags so you can be a responsible owner and dispose of their messes properly! For the kiddies, there is a carousel, the rides are $2.
You aren't going to find some of the typical 'mall stores' at The District, but that's ok... Vegas has other malls for that. For a different, more relaxed shopping experience, The District and Green Vally Ranch is pretty hard to beat!
