The Park, Las Vegas

 The Park Vegas

It wouldn't be complete if I didn't visit all the FUN places in Vegas.  This time I spent a lot of my day at The Park Las Vegas.

The Park is a nice walkway featuring local plants, flowers and cacti of Nevada, along with man-made waterfalls and artistic sculptures throughout.  Largest sculpture represents Bliss Dance, a 40-foot-tall sculpture of a dancing woman. 
Originally the Bliss Dance was located on the San Francisco shoreline at Treasure Island.  Apparently it wasn't doing so well and was refurbished, becoming the prefect candidate for the desert centerpiece at The Park Vegas.


In the background of The Park Vegas is the TMoblie Arena, which in itself is impressive! 

As of Tuesday, June 14th 2016, it appears NHL has made an agreement for a hockey team in Las Vegas, playing at TMoblie.  The 2017-18 season is considered to be the earliest they would begin.

Construction is everywhere. 

Quietly you can see more construction is on its way, with new plans for Monte Carlo and another hotel with the all new Park MGM in partnership with @sydellgroup expected to be built by 2018.  


Also, the new theater is in the process of being built ( as you can see by my photo above).

As for foodies, the restaurants are a nice architectural addition, providing a quick bite to eat. Such as  Bruxie, where we indulged in some tasty selections for lunch, such as the Original Fried Chicken and Waffle Sandwich (a seasoned fried chicken breast, Chili Honey, Cider Slaw and fresh Waffle for $9.25 ) 



The Beerhaus is a great way to experience something like a Beer Garden, featuring a fine selection of microbrew type of Beers (including domestic beers, if you like).  We went just at the right time.  Happy Hour started at 2:00 pm offering half price on their selected beer, including four quick bite options at $4.00 each.  Our server ( a young polish girl) was on-the-ball, ready to explain the choices, serving our fave beer selection.  Like any indoor Beer Garden, we had to get up to retrieve our food in the far corner of the restaurant.  Various games are available throughout the restaurant, like ping pong, for example. 



Overall, the restaurants add to a quick retreat from the Las Vegas sun. 

The Park is located in-between New York, New York, Las Vegas and Monte Carlo.  It promises to be an entertainment spot from artists to local musicians, showcasing their talent.

I enjoyed the artistic approach of The Park, including the local plants and flowers.  The restaurants are indeed a treat to enjoy.   I noticed a good presence of security patrols throughout The Park, which is always a nice safety  addition. 

 

Next time you visit Las Vegas, make a point to see The Park for yourself and as always, I hope to see YOU in Vegas - Vegas Lovers and newcomers alike.
