OK, I am not a shopper...by no means! But, as part of the activities for a small family get together in Vegas, I agreed to go along. I had no idea what to expect but had heard that there was this great new mall in vegas.\n\nLet me preface this slam of a review by saying it was the end of June in Vegas which means it was hot, but not yet Vegas (read: Africa) Hot yet. I think it was about 100-102.\n\nSo, the backers of this project must have picked their architect from a pool of guys passing around a massively packed water pipe. \n\nWHO BUILDS AN OUTDOOR MALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREAKIN' DESERT!\n\nSomeone should have told the guy that most people in the USA go to the mall to GET OUT OF THE HEAT. \n\nNow, add to this that instead of one main thoroughfare like the outdoor mall in SLC (The Gateway), this place has side streets and the sight lines and the signage makes it impossible to see what stores are where. Between the heat and the need for a GPS to navigate this place, most people must go to one or two stores they know they need to go to, then pack it up and head out.\n\nNow, they did have misters here and there, but the ones that did work did not do much as they were 10' off the ground and the water evaporated too high off the ground. The real kicker is the kids play area (which was quite nice) had very little shade and NO MISTERS! Top that off with the water feature in the kids area was not even working!\n\nIn the end, the best part of my trip to this mall was leaving the group behind, driving across the parking lot, and exploring the nice air-conditioned realm of Fry's!
