Las Vegas, Nevada: Downtown Container Park; things to do

Downtown Container Park  

707 Fremont St./7th St., Downtown Las Vegas.  No pets. 

Built from re-purposed shipping containers as well as locally manufactured modular metal cubes, Downtown Container Park is a small open-air shopping center opened in 2013.  A giant fire-breathing praying mantis by its entrance lets you know you are in the right place.  The center is home to boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and offices, and a barbershop operates within a retired boxcar and caboose.  In the park’s center, a children’s play area features a giant treehouse, where adults can join their kids exploring a 33-foot-tall slide, a NEOS play system, and over-sized foam building blocks.
