| - I was at Downtown Summerlin for the official grand opening celebration. It was fine, but a bit disorganized. No crowd control because all of the security people were huddled in one area enjoying the night instead of doing their jobs. And the fireworks went off directly above us, allowing ash to get all over our clothes, hair, and in our eyes (and it was not windy... so I guess they didn't really think the placement of the fireworks). We didn't get a special glow bracelet that was synchronized to the music and fireworks. The reason? They ran out. They were giving people 2-3 bracelets each when all you needed was one. Oh, except for the one kid I saw with 5 of them. Think people... these will only work again if somehow you know how to program them.
I have been waiting for this center to open for years. Overall, I was a bit disappointed with the lack of flow from one section to another. One area, the "plaza" section (Trader Joes, Sports Authority, etc) seems out of harmony as it butts up to the "mall" section (Dillard's, Macy's, inner mall stores). And a lot of the stores were not ready for the grand opening, so they will be opening at a later time in waves.
Maybe I will update my review when the project is finished.
