| - This is a nice place to shop, eat, and relax with the kiddos, with a different vibe than the newer Downtown Summerlin. There's a respectable selection of shops, giving anyone who visits a wide variety of stores and eateries.
Lots to see and do here for adults and kids: clothing shops, appliances/electronics/tech, a movie theater, an arcade, a nice assortment of restaurants (some larger and smaller chains, and some fairly unique), and a coffee shop (Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf) that's entirely too small for the volume of people who are often trying to buy coffee there. Note, there isn't another coffee shop in the entire complex, so if you're looking for coffee outside of a restaurant, you'll have to hold off until you're done shopping.
Town Square is nearby the airport and south of the Strip, so t's easy to get to and not a bad place to watch airplanes briefly as they're on short final.
One criticism: In a city where parking is generally free and you have to pay for the Internet, I was surprised when Town Square went to metered parking on the streets. Garages and the large lots are still free, but curbside parking comes with a price. I wonder if the addition of meters is just grabbing for more money, or if it's a small indicator of some financial issues that are requiring a little more revenue. Either way I'll take the garage and large lot parking every time.
If you're on the south side of town, or if you have easy access to the Las Vegas Blvd and 215 area, be sure to check Town Square out. It'll probably be worth your time to stop.
