The $750 million, 1.5-million-square-foot "lifestyle center," built on the far south end of the Strip where a casino called Vacation Village used to stand, will celebrate its grand opening this month. Town Square's anchor tenants include Whole Foods Market, Borders Books, H&M (a fashion retailer) and the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce. Out of 150 stores in all, 90 percent of the spaces are filled. Town Square also features an 18-plex all-digital movie theater, a dozen restaurants, a large children's park adjacent to an outdoor picnic and entertainment area, nearly 400,000 square feet of office space, and 5,500 parking-garage spaces. A flyover from Las Vegas Boulevard (to the south of the center) should make access easy.

FIESTA UPGRADE: Station Casinos completed its $75 million expansion of Fiesta Henderson, including a 12-plex theater, a new race and sports book, and a 1,500-space parking garage.

OLD FASHIONED: The Pasta Palace restaurant at Palace Station is offering classic Las Vegas dinner shows on Monday evenings for just $19.99. Seatings are at 5 and 7:30 p.m. and dinner includes soup or salad, choice of entree, and dessert.

EYECANDY: A new club called eyecandy has opened at Mandalay Bay in the center of the casino and is open seven nights a week. The club looks like a high end "ultra-lounge" and charges high-end prices for drinks, but there's currently no cover or minimum to get in.
