Village Square

From 8÷22÷15
Came here because we were going to a movie at Regal 18– figured we would kill some time, and check this plaza out.
There are tons of restaurants here! Like if you’re in the mood for Thai, Mexican, pizza, Chicago-​style food and beer then you are in the right spot!
There’s shopping! They have a comic book store, soda store, etc.
Not a bad plaza! If you need to kill time, occupy yourself, or to grab a bite somewhere it this is a cool place to hang.

Back in the ‘90s when I first moved to Sin City, I used to live in one of the apartment complexes across the street from Village Square. The only problem back then was that there was no Village Square when I lived there. This place, as well as the Sahara West Library, were built after we moved. However, I’m happy that I’m still on this side of town because the Square is home to several businesses that I frequent regularly:
–Regal Cinemas Village Square 18: in addition to your mainstream films and blockbusters, they often screen independent films here, a plus for me.
–Settebello Pizza: my favorite place for happy hour — $ 5 drinks (Moscow Mules, please) and $ 5 individual pizzas.
–Bachi Burger: I love the Kiki Burger, as well as the Kalbi Burger. Oh, and the Black & Green Burger. Don’t forget the Truffle Parmesan Fries!
–Jollibee: halo-​halo!
This is an excellent place for one-​stop dates: a good movie followed by tasty eats.

5 Stars for the businesses AT Village Square like 808 Tapas, Cold Stone, the Candy Store and Viva Mercardos among others. 1 star for getting consumers to visit the center. Most of the businesses are starving. Good effort but failed. I hear you are shopping for a new owner. I will always support the businesses there but with Boca Park, Tivoli Village and the opening of Downtown Summerlin, I hope this center and the businesses located within survive. If you live in the neighborhood, please support your local business owners.

Decent shopping plaza– more dining and entertainment than anything else here, though. Few shopping places, but I do appreciate that one of the options is a consignment/​resale store with decent selection and good prices/​sales.
There’s also an Orange Gym in the area, too, though I have yet to check it out.
This plaza is perfect for a date– coffee at Avery’s before or after your movie, have a meal at Archi’s for thai, Buldogi’s for gourmet hotdogs, Bachi for fusion burgers, or hit up Happy Hours at Chicago Brewing Company or Settebello. And then there’s also Lollibee for halo halo or a small bakery for some other form of dessert.
Spacious plaza has tons of smaller businesses and most are local instead of chains. Also appreciate the landscaping in the area too, keeping things looking upscale. Even though it’s located at a busy intersection, these shops are set back from the street so there isn’t a danger to pedestrians or too much traffic noise/​pollution.

Wow, this shopping center used to be empty, abandoned and very sad but not anymore! It’s coming back! There are lots of signs of life and almost every space is taken up with some new business. There’s lots of new restaurants and shops, coffee places and of course the movie theater. The new holiday decorations cracked me up last week — those are the biggest butts I have ever seen on a reindeer. Baby got back!

So much better now that all the construction on the parking lot is complete. I used to dread coming here because of the terrible parking lot situation and how crowded it gets, but on my most recent visits, it’s actually been a pleasure. They resurfaced and resegmented the entire lot and it’s just so much more convenient now.

Village Square was a nice shopping plaza when I first moved here about a dozen years ago. Anchored by the Regal Village Square Theatre complex, the center had shops of all kinds from a bakery with fine teas to a low cost hair cutting place. Over a period of time, new businesses took the place of others that closed and the center seem to lose a bit of its original luster.
Then the great recession hit and the place became like a ghost town. There were more empty stores than open ones and some of the businesses had a hard time hanging on and staying in business.
In the last year, the owners of the plaza announced that they were going to renovate the exteriors and generally make the place a more pleasant area. New palm trees have been planted, the store fronts have a fresh coat of paint, but best of all they have changed the way you enter and park in the center. Previously, you had to go east or west and then park in rows facing north and south. Today when I went to get take out from Archi’s Thai Café, I noticed that the parking is wonderful. You can go right straight through and park in an east/​west direction. This makes so much better sense.
There are some new stores coming including a new Mexican restaurant. Those holding on have been Archi’s, Tropical Smoothie Café, Alligator Soup crafts store, and Cold Stone Creamery.
Let’s hope with the improving economy and the facelift the owners have given Village Square, the best is yet to come!
