View all City Cast Las Vegas episodes

After nearly two decades, Town Square is shaking off the dust with a wave of new restaurants, even as longtime local favorites like Blue Martini and Stoney’s pack up and move on. So what’s really going on at the popular shopping center just south of the Strip? Has it quietly become more of a tourist stop than a local hangout? We revisit a conversation with Hey Las Vegas newsletter editor Rob Kachelriess and co-host Dayvid Figler as they break down what’s new at Town Square, which old favorites are still hanging on, and what it all means for the shopping center’s future.
