Travel Tuesday: 7 Things to do in Las Vegas, off the Famous Strip.
I have lived in Las Vegas for over 20 years and it’s
exciting to reside in an ever-changing city with a variety of restaurants to
try and attractions to see. As much as I enjoy the assortment available on the
Las Vegas Strip, we have some great places outside of the Strip corridor. Below
are seven recommendations from Bon Voyage Friends!
Las Vegas Town Square
Located on the south end of Las Vegas Blvd, LVTS is one of
my favorite places in town and easy to get to. To bypass the LV strip traffic, alternatives
are Industrial Rd/Dean Martin Dr. or Koval Lane or exit the 215 Beltway at Las
Vegas Blvd. You can spend an entire day perusing the shops from Apple to
H&M, enjoying special events, restaurants, movies, Yogurtland, Whole Foods,
and so much more. Plus, special events are held throughout the year. What a treat to see the Clydesdale horses!!

Tivoli Village
Located in the Summerlin area on the northwest side of the
valley, Tivoli Village is still being developed but its a great place to enjoy retail shops, restaurants, and a farmers market. Check out the happy hour
at the View Wine Bar or if you feel like being creative, the Papersource just opened!!

Tommy Bahama
They have great happy hour specials at Tommy Bahama! The
tropical ambiance, excellent food, and live music provides for a great evening.
Located at LV Town Square it’s a perfect getaway from the hot heat we have in
the desert. If you like Tommy Bahama apparel or candles, there’s also a retail
shop connected to the restaurant.
