Downtown Summerlin

Las Vegas


Oozing sophistication, Downtown Summerlin is one of Las Vegas' most attractive outdoor shopping, dining and recreational complexes, filled with fancy boutiques and bigger department stores like Macy’s and Dillard’s. Its proximity to Red Rock Canyon is a big draw for visitors. All of this comes with a fantastic view of sandstone cliffs and the forested Spring Mountains to the west.

On Saturdays it hosts a Farmers Market. It’s the cashed-up and relaxed opposite of the Vegas you usually see on TV or in movies.
