| - The world of Las Vegas and Henderson are pretty sparse on places to hang out, especially places where you can walk around and shop outside. It's rather sad since we tend to have pretty decent weather, but oh well. I've been going to the District for years. I like it, but definitely don't love it. It's one of those places I go to ever so often, but somewhat forget about on most days.
(1) Shopping - The shopping is ok and they have one of the only two REI's in the city even though it is TINY compared to most that I've been to in other places. There are a few shops that are sort of nice, but mostly seems over priced and too wanna-be-pretentious. If I need to go to Ann Taylor or William Sonoma, I go here.
(2) Restaurants - For the most part the restaurants are half crap and half decent. You are stuck with crappy chains like Elephant Bar and PF Chang's, but then you have Balboa Pizza and King's Fish House. There are a few other options so anyone should be able to find SOMETHING to eat. I will say that if you go to the side with Whole Foods, Settebello is a hidden gem that I do frequent if I need something at Whole Foods or am just in the mood for a really good pizza.
(3) Parking - Luckily there is almost always parking.
(4) Casino - Like most cheesy Las Vegas places there is a casino. You'd think locals would get tired of them, but nope. Green Valley is ok if you like casinos, but I don't so I steer clear. It is a little nicer than others, but it's still a casino.
All in all The District is a ok place to go. You should be able to find something to eat, browse a few shops, and on some nights they have music. For Las Vegas/Henderson it is a nicer destination for shopping and eating.
