"Greatest Gathering Place in Las Vegas" Opens Nov 14th


Town Square is The District on steroids. The Square was designed to be the "Greatest Gathering Place in Las Vegas" with shopping, restaurants, parks, open spaces, stages, movie theaters, coffee shops, fitness center and office space. “This is one of the largest retail developments of its kind under construction in the country and the first of its kind in Las Vegas,” said Joseph P. Tagliola, President of Retail for Turnberry Associates.

The square covers over 110 acres with open air streets with a “main street” style architecture from the last 100 years. A 9,000-square-foot children's park has been set up which will have a carrousel and a specially designed $2 million tree. The $750 million, 1.5 million square foot Town Square is located on the South end of the strip, at the intersection of 215 and I-15 and will open on November 14th, 2007. Las Vegas will have another must-see attraction with more than 150 shops, a dozen restaurants and an 18-screen all digital movie theater complex.

The center has anchor tenants of Whole Foods, Border Books, Robb & Stuckey Furniture and Fry’s Electronics. Some of the other stores will include Abercrombie & Fitch, Aldo, American Eagle, Apple, Banana Republic, Bath & Body Works, BCBG, Body Shop, Cache, Chico’s, Cold Stone Creamery, Crabtree & Evelyn, Design Within Reach, Eddie Bauer, Express, Finish Line, Fossil, Godiva, Guess, Hollister Co., J. Crew, Limited Too, Lucky Brand, MAC, Metro Park, Michael Stars, Oakley, Old Navy, Pac Sun, Puma, Replay, Sigrid Olsen, Skechers, Solstice, Soma, Steve Madden, Sunglass Hut, The Walking Company, Victoria’s Secret, White House/Black Market and many others.

A number of restaurants will be making their debut in Las Vegas include Tommy Bahama’s Tropical CafĂ© and Emporium, Yard House, The Grape and Texas de Brazil. Other well-known restaurants will also be at town square including Fleming’s Steak House, Bar Louie, Brio and Claim Jumper, as well as Starbucks.

The developers, Turnberry Associates and Centra Properties, have funded a multimillion-dollar flyover road off Las Vegas Boulevard into the center. The overpass will provide northbound boulevard traffic access to Town Square. A project this size will need to make sure that it can handle the increased traffic.

Two More Restaurants for Palazzo: Emeril Lagassee and Upscale Mexican

Chef Emeril Lagasse will open his “Table 10” restaurant and New York based B.R. Guest will open their upscale Mexican restaurant, Dos Caminos at the Venetian’s Palazzo in January 2008. Table 10 is Lagasse's third restaurant in Las Vegas. Lagasse's other venues are Delmonico Steakhouse and Emeril's New Orleans Fish House. Lagassee hasn’t released much information on Table 10. All Lagassee would say is, “I can't wait for everyone to see what we've got planned for this restaurant.”

Las Vegas will be the fourth outpost of the Mexican cuisine mecca Dos Caminos and the first time outside of New York City. The restaurant will offer authentic, innovative Mexican fare such as Roasted Chicken Enchiladas with Mole Poblano and Salsa Verde, Lamb Shank Barbacoa, Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak with Frijoles Borrachos and Roasted Tomato Salsita as well as Chilean Sea Bass Veracruzano. Food & Wine magazine rated the restaurant’s made-to-order guacamole as "New York City's Best." The breakfast menu which is served at 11:30 daily, features items such as Rancheros, Chilequiles Con Huevos (Baked Tortilla Casserole with Sunny-Side-Up Eggs), Pan Torrejas (Mexican- Style French Toast with Toasted Pecan Maple Syrup and Fresh Berries) and Mexican Benedict, available daily. Dos Caminos will have room for 700.

These restaurants join the outstanding line up of top restaurants that will open at the Palazzo: Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club, Carnevino, SushiSamba, Morels, Trotter, Mainland and the Woo Restaurant. Las Vegas is further burnishing its image of a top restaurant city in the country.
