Downtown Summerlin

Need to get away from The Strip? Hate The Strip’s chaos and club brawls? Downtown Summerlin is the summer oasis for you. Overflowing with the promise of exciting new stores, and perfectly peaceful, DTS is a treat. Whether you’re in the mood for shopping, dining or sightseeing, if you need calm, sane fun in Vegas, stop at this family-​oriented, kid-​friendly plaza.

I wish it was a zero star option for the T-​Moblie store.
Walked in the store, one service rep a guy that was working with two guest, stopped what he was doing, came from the back to speak to us. A Mexican girl in front of the store on the phone didn’t acknowledge us at all walking in. There was another female in there that wasn’t doing NOTHING, NOT A GOT DAMN THING! didn’t speak to us, ask us to kiss her ass or nothing. After about 10−15mins of sitting there and as we are leaving the Mex girl says sorry. MuthaFuvk you and that «sorry» for the wait, you ain’t Lil Wayne bih. You would expect more cause it’s «Summerlin» but I guest not. Worst customer service every.

Two weeks ago I finally got to check out Downtown Summerlin… and I have to say I really enjoy the set up out there! It’s actually just a freeway jump from my house and you have pretty quick access from the 215 and the Sahara exit!
So far, in my first 2 visits, we have enjoyed shopping at
— The Toy Box
— Hot Topic
and eaten at.
— MTO Café
But, while walking around, we see a bunch of places we want to check out in future visits! They also have a Regal Luxury Theater that I will definitely be checking out in the very near future!
Another thing I noticed was that they have security patrolling the area in both trucks and on foot! I think this is a fantastic idea! There is a ton of parking and all kind of retail outlets to choose from!
I really dig the layout and will definitely be out here a lot more often!
4 stars.
Yay! I’m a fan.

It’s my favorite mall to walk around. It opened last year. The streets are made for walking. Restaurants are interspersed along with shops, more so than Town Square where there’s only a smattering of restaurants. This is the newest and best mall in town if you ask me. I only come here to eat and walk around for the lack of better things to do since I live across the street from it practically. The stores here, like Macy’s are smaller than their counterparts at Fashion Show, FYI. It’s got nice restaurants here though. Pieology, Earl of Sandwich, Cream, Five Guys, Shake Shack, etc. If you miss the food court, you prob want to hop onto the freeway and head to Fashion Show.

This is one of the best malls so far for me. It has so may stores, brands and places to stop and have a drink or a bite.
They also at times have activities for kida on designated areas. Its best to come during the week, on weekends its madness.

20 years ago when I bought my 1^st house in Summerlin, civilization came to a halt with a stop sign on the dirt road of Town Center Drive at the intersection next to the post office heading one way only (east) on Summerlin Pkwy. At the time, this was Downtown Summerlin.
Fast forward 10 years, Summerlin continued to boast as «the fastest growing and fastest selling Master Planned Community in the USA.» With the influx of 5,000 residents moving to Las Vegas monthly, the demand for nearby shopping became a discussion at monthly board meetings.
The new 215 western beltway provides access to W. Sahara and also W. Charleston where 10 years ago the Red Rock Resort opened and quickly became «the place to be and be seen.» But there was still a demand for nearby shopping other than The Trails Village, or in nearby Queensridge @ Boca Park.
Several commercial buildings were built along W. Charleston and the Summerlin Centre Village became the «new place to live, work and play.» Nearby newly developed Vistas, Paseos, Willows & Gardens Villages were just about complete and Red Rock Country Club was long sold out. The one square mile stretch of Howard Hughes desert between Charleston & Sahara was to be the site of the Summerlin Mall. Construction began, and within no time at all, it opened a year and half ago under the name Downtown Summerlin.
Summerlin residents no longer must travel to Fashion Show or Meadows Mall to shop at Macy’s or Dillards. Downtown Summerlin provides a place close to home to enjoy these two department stores, dozens of familiar name retailers, unique boutiques, well organized community events, live entertainment, over a dozen restaurants to dine, bars to unwind at Happy Hour, medical/​dental/​professional offices, grocery shopping, Saturday’s Farmers Market, luxury seating movies, etc., all with plenty of convenient parking on the streets/​garages/​lots/​valet/​bike racks too.
Desert landscaping and large creative water features interact with the two story architecture of Downtown Summerlin. The nine story Class A office tower in the middle and adjacent covered pavilion along Festival Plaza are admired from close and afar with exterior lighting that changes colors ever few seconds.
As time progresses, more and more tenants will occupy leases which will attract visitors from other parts of the Las Vegas Valley, and tourists en route to/​from Red Rock Canyon. Future development Pavilion Center east to Town Center Drive are on the table.
Downtown Summerlin is an excellent flow of income to the City of Las Vegas as generated tax revenue, and has created thousands of jobs from construction workers to current business owners/​employees.
Spring is in the air and it was a rainy Saturday in Summerlin South yesterday when we came here to eat, and purchase a few things at a couple of stores we regularly patronize.
To date, I have reviewed the following 21 businesses @ Downtown Summerlin… Trader Joe’s, Sports Authority, Ulta, Five Guys, Cream, Macy’s, Champs Sports, Zumiez, Public School 702, Apple, Red Robin, Shake Shack, a Unilocal Elite Event, Gelato Messina, Ribs & Burgers, Sport Clips, AT&T, CPK, Wolfgang Puck, Fogo de Chao, and of course the movies w/​giant leather seats. Oh, and I promise each and all of the above 20 reviews are not as wordy as this. Congrats if you read this entire novel :-)
Downtown Summerlin is a welcomed addition to a place we call home.

Unilocal 100 REVIEW CHALLENGE 2016: #74

Downtown Summerlin has its good and bad, but the bottom line is that this adds tremendous value to this area. I am glad to see this open in our neighborhood and bring some new businesses to our area to give these businesses an opportunity and good location to thrive.

This mall is huge! Lots of different types of stores ranging from… Clothing, nails, food, sporting goods, etc. must go to this mall if your in Vegas!

I came here last Valentine’s Day with my family. My uncle and his family lives in Las Vegas and wanted to take us here to explore the area and possibly shop.
Summerlin is one of the newest developed area of progressing Las Vegas. New houses were built with nice roads and bike lanes. Downtown Summerlin is not very big, however, it’s a good enough space for a developing city. To me, it looks like a promenade in a plaza. Everything is new and has up to date infrastructure designs.
There are few stores and restaurants in Downtown Summerlin. The reason why I’m giving it a 3 star for now is because I wish there were more shops and the restaurants are not too commercialized. Nevertheless, this area seems like it’s still developing and will progress more as the time goes by.

I have to say this will be my GO TO spot going forward whenever I am in Las Vegas. This location is only 5 minutes from my timeshare property and it has EVERYTHING I need to make my stay simply awesome. This is an actual street mall which consists of 4 streets each of them about 5 blocks in length. There are all types of stores ranging from high end to affordable… a food court… movie theater… trader joe’s…and even some cellphone providers. The entire area is spotless and at night it looks like time square in New York the way it is lit up. There is also a huge new casino (Red Rock Casino) nearby which has a bowling alley and a IMAX theater to boot. Here is my favorite thing about the place though… wait for it… it has a TOUCHSCREEN DIRECTORY and I mean this thing is simply amazing. You tap the kind of store your looking for… it will list those stores and then you can select the EXACT store. It will then move around and literally draw you a line directly to where you requested.
So next time your in Vegas do not leave without visiting this gem in the desert. Eat, Drink, and be Merry my Friends!!!

We live as far East as you can get, before reaching Boulder City. However, the drive from our house to DT Summerlin was maybe 25 minutes, tops, and so worth it.
We had heard about the Winter/​Holiday festivities on the radio and finally had a free evening to check it out.
The Winter parade started at 7pm and we pulled into the area at 6:50pm. There was quite a bit of traffic in the actual complex (to be expected), but there were traffic guards/​guides to help keep flow.
We found a space in my desired area in under 2 minutes. There was quite a crowd waiting for the parade to start, however every area along the sidewalk had a nice view. The ‘streets’ between the shops are brightly lit, and everywhere we walked was clean.
The parade was fun for all ages, and there was ‘snow’ that fell gently on the crowd. The perfect touch to a nice Winter scene.
The shops and restaurants are a nice mix of higher end and affordable. There are a few art galleries that we browsed on the way to the Holiday ice skating rink they had set up. We also had dinner at a restaurant that we chose from the restaurant/​store locator ‘map/​key’ (the display was touch screen and easy to use).
Ample parking, a variety of stores, snacks, restaurants, and art galleries make it another jewel in the desert. Thumbs up, and can’t wait to return!

It’s only fashion and food there… Not my personal kind of definition for a good time, but I’m sure many people appreciate it.

Amazing!!! In every way. Great places to shop, wonderful places to have dinner or a quick slice. Great for kids as well. So much fun as very clean. I can’t get enough!

I am in love with Downtown Summerlin. So happy there is finally a foodie/​shopping/​entertainment destination in the Summerlin area! They have a wide variety of shops and restaurants. They even have an ice rink, farmers market, and movie theater! I discover something new every time I come here.
There are lots of parking lots as well as street parking with no meters! Yay for no meters:) Downtown Summerlin is clean and well maintained and is a great place to come alone or with friends and family.

Downtown Summerlin is a very nice mall, especially if you don’t want to venture down to The Fashion Show or anywhere on the Strip. It’s not as ultra high-​end as say, the Forum Shoppes, etc, but definitely a great addition to the west side of Vegas.
It’s all outdoor, so be careful if you’re in Vegas the couple of weeks where it’s actually quite cold. There’s a lot of standard but excellent department stores, i.e. Macy’s, Nordstorm, etc. Food options abound, especially with restaurants like California Pizza Kitchen and Public School 702. There’s a move theater too, but note that it only has 5 screens, so you don’t get a full selection of all the latest flicks.
Overall, though, it’s a pretty good mall!

Downtown Summerlin has something for everyone.
Restaurants? Plentiful… bring your appetite…
Restaurants with patios? Plentiful… soak in the local atmosphere and relax…
Movie Theatre? Yep… luxury style with recliner seating… date night made easy…
Grocery Store? My favorite… Trader Joe’s…
Shopping? Loads of stores…
Views? Check out the Red Rocks to the West…
Humble Farmers Market? Saturdays 8am-​2pm…
Pet Friendly? Yep. you’ll see locals walking they furry friends (weather permitting)
Outdoor Ice Rink? Yep. leading up to Christmas in the winter…
Vegas Style? Red Rock Casino is right next door…
Downtown Summerlin is beautifully landscaped with loads of shops ranging from your big department stores (Dillard’s and Macy’s) to stores like Nordstrom Rack, Lululemon, Trader Joe’s Grocery, Victoria’s Secret, Sur La Table and tons more. Since it’s opening in Fall 2014, it has become a weekly staple in my routine. I don’t have to drive to The Strip or Town Square to go shopping. It is my ‘go to’ for everything from date night to a lazy Saturday morning stroll around the Farmer’s Market. I love Downtown Summerlin’s convenience and atmosphere!
Unilocal 2016 — Review 1

Been to Downtown Summerlin many times. I have found some of the best spots in Vegas all in one location at this mall. I can grocery shop at Trader Joes clothing shop, eat on the go or sit down to a romantic dinner. I’ve tried to many places to mention them all. Some of my favorite places are Sur La table for cooking classes, the cinema for a movie with reclining chairs and a full stocked bar, Lush makeup store for natural organic makeup, Fogo for a romantic dinner, Panchos for a fun night out, Lazy dog restaurant for a nice sit down dinner with my dog, Public school, Sushi Loca and California pizza, Crazy pita all amazing restaurants. I’ve only shopped for clothes at Sports Authority and Hot Topic both have good selection of clothing. Definitely worth the effort to make a trip to Downtown Summerlin.

I took my family out for the Christmas parade and had a wonderful time. Unfortunately I spent more money than I wanted to but what the hell can’t take it with you can you. Love coming here lot to do. My little daughter had a wonderful time watching the parade how to given 5 stars it was really cool and it was free

I love Downtown Summerlin shopping center. I enjoy everything it has to offer, and is a fun spot to grab a bite to eat, shop or hit up a movie! They have some great retailers and if you can’t find what you are looking for at this shopping center than you don’t need it! I enjoy that it is an outdoor shopping complex and you can park and easily go straight to what you are looking for. My boy toy got me hooked from the first time he took me for lunch and movie.

This mall is still growing and expanding. New businesses are opening their doors and I can’t wait to see all that it has to offer. Tons of great stores and several good places to eat. Some of the places I frequent: Sephora, Nordstrom Rack, Gelato Messina, and Lazy Dog. And now I can get delicious burgers at Shake Shack! This mall packs a lot of great finds and is pet friendly. I have leaving my dog child at home when I go shopping (mainly because he punishes me by chewing up my stuff). And with Downtown Summerlin I don’t have to choose between shopping, dining, and my sweet pup.

Never got around to stop by here when it first opened which is fine. Now that I’ve been here a couple times recently, I appreciate all the stores being open and the variety to choose from. I love how much parking there is and how spacious the layout of the mall is. I will admit that I get pretty exhausted quickly but that just means I need to exercise more.
I stopped by here on black Friday and it was not busy at all. To my surprise, they have a farmers market that sets up on Saturdays, which I still have to check out. They have an ice skating rink open right now for a couple of months which is $ 15 per person. It was pretty crowded but I don’t expect anything less on a weekend. Then as we were leaving, they were having some type of float parade in the middle of the mall. Compared to any other mall in Vegas, this place is a real winner in my book.

I am so glad this mall opened. It truly represents Summerlin and has all the stores you need. Don’t miss Pandoras, or Sketchers or Trader Joes… I’ve been a regular visitor since its opening. Passing by today I noticed the ice skating ring is back up for the holidays. I can’t skate, but I will take the family and watch. This is a great holiday tradition.

It’s nice there are stores to go to for the locals. It’s an outdoor mall nothing like Irvine Spectrum, Santana Row or Stanford.
The weird thing about Downtown Summerlin is their Starbucks i-​s tucked in the corner of Macy’s mens. The coffee shop is so small makes you think why didn’t Starbucks have their own store — maybe they are testing the waters to see if the place would boom.
There’s lots of parking which is good and the whole mall as I mentioned is outdoors so when it’s hot in Vegas it’s HOT you will be hot and bothered shopping. When it’s cold in Vegas it’s bitter cold so you will be running to get in to the store for heat. Not enough shade, places to sit and unfortunately you have to be careful crossing the streets cause the cars can drive up and down the streets and sometimes doesn’t stop or drives too fast — unlike Stanford and Irvine Spectrum you don’t have to worry about cars driving while shopping.
The restaurants are new so I’m just going to give it a number 2 for now since I’m not familiar with them and they are not that popular in my book.
Macy’s, Dillards is small compared to the Fashion Mall but it’s good enough to go and buy last minute items if you can’t wait for an online order or go to the Fashion Mall. There is no Nordstrom. They have a Nordstrom Rack and I have to say I was HUGELY disappointed I felt I walked into a Marshall’s or one of those out of date clothing stores. Sorry if I offend anyone — I’m just not a fan or ever shopped in a store like that.
I’m hoping in due time the place livens up. I heard a few people say it’s Meh and not lively enough for them to stay. Let’s hope they will grow and learn they’re still inexperienced in a lot of ways.

Seems to be a success!
I’ve spent the most time & money at the anchors– Macy’s & Dillard’s. I’m surprised to report that DS’s Macy’s seems much better overall than our Valley’s numerous other Macys.
I also go to Nordstrom Rack often and have enjoyed happy hour at a few of the restaurants.
It’s a pleasant venue for strolling through and the «arroyo» dining area is a beautifully landscaped oasis. Overall, It’s a place I want to share with visitors. And the signage is awesome– bright, bold and perfect for an «upscale» community SHOPPING CENTER.
While I like to point out the positives, I have no issue with sharing my take on the negatives.
There are too many people walking around with tiny dogs in the stores. And the name «Downtown Summerlin» is a misnomer. What exactly merits calling a shopping center «Downtown»? Unless they were being ironic…
Only in Summerlin.

From 7÷10÷15
Finally, I got a chance to come here! Downtown Summerlin is located next to Red Rock Casino and Hotel. I have to say, this is one of the nicest malls I’ve ever seen.
On one side, you have your department stores like Dillard’s, Nordstrom, Macy’s and an Old Navy. You have a few restaurants on that side as well like Red Robin, Panda Express, etc.
The other portion is set up like a trendy town, with a ton of high-​end to mid-​range shops. There are sitting areas, cafes food places like the Earl of sandwiches and a bunch of restaurants.
I feel like this is the kind of place where you can take a stroll, hangout for a bunch of hours like a trendy mall rat. I’m a fan for sure.

What’s not to like about Downtown Summerlin? Only one thing… being outside in the middle of summer! Aside from that it has a large number of stores and restaurants, a theater, a farmer’s market on Saturday (not my favorite farmers market) and you could easily spend an entire day there including 3 meals and a show!
The mall is kind of split in two with the smaller stores clusted in a downtown looking area and then a large parking lot enclosed by Trader Joes, a big sporting goods store, Nordstrom rack and other smaller stores.
Good place to wear comfortable shoes!

What’s not to love about Downtown Summerlin?! They have something for everyone — food, desserts, shops, and a lively atmosphere. They have valet parking and access to two parking garages. There’s plenty of street parking. I especially like being able to walk with my ice cream or gelato and have plenty of nice open areas to sit if I decide to stop, relax, and watch look around.
I guess they could use some regular restrooms for multiple users and more garbage cans. But, I would love to see more large ceramic planters with some flowers.

Years ago when I learned Downtown Summerlin was being developed, I was ecstatic. When DT Summerlin finally opened to the public in late 2014, I made it a point to make a visit the second week it was open. Even when there were only few stores and restaurants open, I was already a fan of DT Summerlin because I could see its potential. One of the reasons I like this suburban outdoor shopping center so much is because it gives me an alternative to Meadows Mall, which is rapidly decaying.
A lot of reviewers are comparing DT Summerlin with Town Square because both are outdoor shopping centers. I’m a fan of both but there important distinctions that should be made between them. DT Summerlin is more spread out and less walkable than Town Square (i.e, the far parking lot which is host to Trader Joe’s, Ulta, Red Robin, etc.). In my opinion, DT Summerlin has better dining options (Wolfgang Puck, MTO Café, Lazy Dog, Andirons) than Town Square, but TS has better shopping. Town Square has ample bars, DT Summerlin does not. I’m hoping that pubs/​bars will open soon in DT Summerlin!
Parking is insanely easy at DT Summerlin and crowds are minimal. I love the water fountain in the restaurant court and I think this shopping center is pretty awesome. It’s especially beautiful at night when all the lights are lit up.
Worth a Return Visit?
Downtown Summerlin is a welcome addition to the Northwest area of Las Vegas. I like how they’re trying to make this shopping center more of a community center by hosting a Farmer’s Market, an ice rink during the winter, and the latest installments — movie nights and concerts for the whole family to enjoy.
Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #110

I have been to Downtown Summerlin several times since it first opened, but didn’t feel it was fair to review it until more businesses opened up. It was well publicized in the local papers and on social media, so I wasn’t upset or surprised that a lot of the businesses weren’t open at first. Downtown Summerlin is like Town Square except that it’s away from the Strip and doesn’t feel as congested with people and cars. Downtown Summerlin is basically a mall with «extras» since you will find more here than your typical mall and food court experience.
When it comes to food there are plenty of options depending on your craving. If you are looking for a quick bite or something to-​go then Moe’s Southwest Grill, MTO Café, Capriotti’s, Panda Express, Five Guys (bleh), Crazy Pita, Earl of Sandwich, Pieology or Zaba’s are options. As far as a more «sit down» meal, I am really thrilled they put a Lazy Dog Café in. Not only is the food good, but you can bring your fur baby with you and eat on the patio. Other restaurants are California Pizza Kitchen, Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill, Andiron Steak and Sea, CRAVE Restaurant, Red Robin, Sushi Loca and Trattoria Reggiano to name some. Shake Shack, Pancho’s and Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken are opening soon. If you have a sweet tooth or just want dessert they have options for that as well with CREAM, Gelato Messina, Wetzel’s Pretzels and Wonderland Bakery. There are more restaurants opening soon. If you would rather cook at home then Trader Joe’s is also an option here. There are more restaurants opening soon.
Then there’s the normal mall stuff like Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy, Macy’s, Dillard’s, True Religion and GUESS to name some. There is a Regal movie theater and a Build-​A-​Bear Workshop.
When I comes to parking I haven’t experienced any issues yet. They have plenty of parking spaces near whatever business you are headed to. I’m sure around the holidays it will be a different story! They have plenty to offer here for all ages and I like a lot of the new additions instead of just the same type of mall establishments I’m used to seeing.

What a cute «so cal» feel outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment place! I was here for the first time on a Wednesday night… around 7:30pm. Maybe because it was on a weekday night, parking was super easy. PLENTY of spaces available everywhere. The crowds were great too… no stroller moms with screaming kids or annoying high school groups «lyke oh mai gad, I’m so kewl! I’m hangin with mai crew!!!» I’m sure the weekend crowd is a different story.
Downtown Summerlin have an extensive lists of stores. Practical stores too might I add. You have your usual Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Sephora, New Balance, Bath and Body Works, Lush, White House & Black Market… just to name a few. I’m sure it’s convenient for the Summerlin crowd to not have to drive all the way to Town Square of Fashion Show Mall for their shopping needs.
Personally, I feel like this is another Town Square… just with better stores. When the weather is «right,» this is a great shopping place!

Unilocal 365 CHALLENGE 2014−(358÷365) «Shoppin’ Around In Summerlin»
Being here twice in two days, I can say that I’m a fan! great shops, very spacious, lots of parking, and no crowds! What’s not to like about this place???
Yeah, not all the shops are 100% open, but so what??? Give ‘em time! at least they’re on the way! Of all the shops we’ve visited, the service here has been some of the best.
There’s something for everyone here, whether you’re looking for designer brands, your usual department stores, a bite to eat, or even catch the latest flick, it’s all here and there’s a wide variety of stores for anyone wanting to get their shop on.
Looking forward to returning because more stores are coming, and I think I’ve only seen half of what’s actually here at the moment. Great location, and there’s no need to worry about the congestion that Fashion Show, The Outlets, and Town Square has. ALOHA!!!
