Parking here can be a nightmare, but there are quite a few parking spaces. Even if it's super busy, I can always find a spot, even if it means I have to walk a bit farther than I wanted.

The Yard House here was the only one in town for a while and we loved to go here as a family and there were quite a few work excursions that happened here. We used to go to a bar close to this area too, where they did a lot of industry nights. There are still some really good food and bar options here today. The shopping is pretty good. There are stores here that you might not be able to find in other areas of town. I'm not a big shopper but you can also just window shop like I do, especially if you've just had a big meal and need to do a little La Passeggiata. Some of the shops are expensive, some are not, so there's really something for anyone's budget. I've noticed this place stays pretty clean and there are a good amount of people working to keep it that way. I appreciate that very much.

3.5 Stars  After…read morefour months of writing 62 reviews on Minneapolis and Saint Louis, I am back home. And a shopping center that I often call home is Green Valley Parkway at the southeast corner of Sunset Road and Green Valley Parkway.   Although I never checked into the shopping center itself, there have been high check-in counts at a handful of the businesses in the center. The proceeding list names many of the shopping center's businesses along with my Yelp check-ins and ratings when applicable. This discludes my visits before Yelp and when I passed over checking in. This list is evidence that I have been to Green Valley Plaza over 123 times. Some Businesses/my check-ins/My ratings. A Cat Hospital Bank of America Big 5/ 2 check-ins/4 Stars Desert Art Supplies Dollar Tree /33 check-ins/4 Stars Dylan's Lounge/11 check-ins/4 Stars Green Valley Grocery/49 check-ins/3 Stars Green Valley Modern Dental Mothership /87 check-ins/4 Stars Nevada Cleaners/1 check-in/4 Stars Subway/52 check-ins/3 Stars Supercuts /1 check-in/3 Stars Trader Joe's /123 check-ins/4 Stars United States Post Office/Many visits. Weiss Deli/many visits/Have yet to review. The following two paragraphs discuss Green Valley Plaza's thumb's up: positives and boos: negatives. The thumb's ups:   Based on the previous graph, my conclusion is that this is a convenient one-stop shopping center where the cumulative reviews average 3.7 stars. At this time the center is 100% leased. Owing to the scarcity of stores in the vicinity of Green Valley at Warm Springs, it provides much needed services and stores to the area. Boos (Negatives)   In similar style to several shopping plazas, this one suffers from the similar challenges of a cramped parking lot and exits leading to busy thoroughfares. This parking lot is so cramped and busy that I will park by the adjacent Check City or near the Sunset Road bus stop. In my opinion, the stores facing Green Valley Parkway are a no-go parking zone. Traffic exiting onto Green Valley Parkway often creates a traffic backup blocking these parking spots. This leads to the stress and risk of exiting the center. Exiting onto Green Valley Parkway is a mess because of the one stop light and people trying to exit from businesses that are supposed to be in & out like Subway and Green Valley Grocery. Exiting onto Sunset Road is just as bad. A stop light is nonexistent. And thanks to traffic engineers eliminating a traffic lane for an underused bike lane, it is often an excruciating wait to turn right. And to safely get onto westbound Sunset Road requires a right turn on Athenian then a u-turn to turn left with the assistance of a stop light.   Panhandling is another issue. It is my observation that the Green Valley Parkway facing businesses get the majority of the panhandling. In conclusion:   Green Valley Plaza has been one of my home plazas for the past several years. In addition to providing vital business and services for locals, it also has destination ones such as Mothership, Trader Joe's, Desert Art Supplies, and Weiss Deli. With that said it is guaranteed that I will be back.

Pebble Marketplace is a large Smith's-anchored shopping center just off the Green Valley Parkway…read moreexit of Interstate 215. It is in an attractive and safe neighborhood where the bordering Interstate 215 separates the Green Valley and Green Valley Ranch master planned communities. It is convenient to hundreds of homes, the Green Valley Corporate Park, The District at Green Valley Ranch, and Green Valley Ranch Resort.   The Pebble Marketplace is also convenient to my residence. As a result it has been a part of my life for the past two decades. Whether it was running errands, enjoying a meal, hanging out in Starbuck's, or both; I gave Pebble Marketplace my business and time. I also made it a part of my Yelp life. Below I have put together a list of some of its businesses. Some of them show my check-ins and ratings. This is evidence that I have been a regular here while showing a list of some businesses the shopping center offers: AAA. Triple A. - 4 Stars Bank of America- 126 check-ins. 4 Stars. Chase Bank-Over 4 check-ins. China Tango- 21 check-ins. 4 Stars. Computer Repair Cracked Egg Great Clips- 3 Stars Jamba Juice Pizza Hut/Wing Stop Rubio's - 4 Stars. Smith's-- 212 Check-ins. 4 Stars. Smith's Fuel- 2 Check-ins. 3 Stars. Starbucks-188 check-ins. 4 Stars. Steamie Weenie U.P.S.- 1 Star in 2011. (Under different Mgt.) Verizon- 4 Check-ins. Vision Shop   All of these businesses are connected to an attractive landscaped shopping center. Mature trees provide shade in the large parking lot connecting the vicinity of I-215 to Pebble Road. These mature trees are advantageous in the hot summer months where Vegas feels like a toaster oven. The trees also create a nice environment. At the northwest corner, they provide shade over the patio between Rubio's and Starbucks.   There are four entrances to the shopping center. There is one at Pebble Road and three at Green Valley Parkway. A stop light controls traffic at the main Green Valley Parkway entrance and creates a safe way out for southbound traffic bound for I-215, Green Valley Ranch, and destinations south. In spite of the safety that the stop light provides, it is common to see Green Valley Parkway bound traffic back-up. Sometimes the honking cars take away from the chirping birds on the tree canopies. The majority of the time that I patronize Pebble Marketplace, I park north of the main entrance near Bank of America. I will leave through the Pebble Road exit.    As I write this on December 8, 2020, the shopping centers biggest challenge is filling in some of the vacant stores. Recently it lost a Big Apple Bagels, Amy's Hallmark, Subway, and Popcorn Girl amungst a few other businesses.   And as I write this, it is obvious that I will return here. Pebble Marketplace has been a part of my life for the past two decades, which leads me to the conclusion that the Pebble Marketplace deserves 4 Stars.

The Southernmost Shopping Center in Henderson…read more    There is currently an opportunity on Yelp to review shopping centers. Where there are an abundance of reviews on restaurants, financial centers, supermarkets, and other businesses; there is a shortage of reviews on the unifying buildings that house these businesses that we love to review. In 2021, I will rise to the challenge of reviewing shopping centers in addition to the other places that I will share. Starting off my leading review of 2021, I will review the southernmost shopping center in Henderson. It is the Anthem Highlands Shopping Center.     Taken into consideration that this is the southernmost shopping center in Henderson, it has this edge of the metropolis vibe. Before Inspirada was built a few years ago, it had an edge of civilization vibe. Although it serves the Anthem Highlands and Inspirada market area, to me it feels more like being in Utah than in the Las Vegas valley. In similar fashion to Utah it is very clean, and even scenic. Situated on the Highlands of Anthem, this center provides an eastern scenic view of the mountains. From experience this is a scenic spot to capture a sunset or sunrise while being within a few hundred feet of a supermarket or drug store.    On account of the fact that this is the southernmost shopping center in Henderson with an edge of metropolis vibe in a part of the valley that reminds me of Utah; it should be of zero surprise that I have used this shopping center as a trailhead to long distance hikes into the Nevada Power Trail, Sloan Canyon, and the trails of Inspirada.    When reviewing shopping centers, I take safety into consideration. Safety includes crime and the parking lot design. The idea that I have left my car in the large parking lot with an abundance of available spaces for hours is evidence that it is a safe parking lot in the low crime Anthem Highlands and Inspirada neighborhoods. The parking lanes and spaces themselves are wide which lessen the chances of fender benders and door dings. With the recently installed traffic signal at the Bicentennial exit, leaving the parking lot is easy.    When I use the parking lot as a trailhead it is almost guaranteed that a business or few will get my support. This leads to my next area of the review. That is the business mix. When reviewing shopping centers I am on the quest to find what I call a unicorn shopping center. This would be a shopping center with such an awesome mix of businesses that it would be the equivalent of a supercenter without an actual supercenter that provides one stop shopping. Of course shopping centers come in a variety of sizes which is sometimes like comparing apples to oranges. Regardless that this is currently the only shopping center serving Inspirada and one of two serving the Anthem Highlands, it falls short of being a regional shopping center. There are currently zero apparel, electronic, and hardliners retailers. That would be the equivalent of less than half a Supercenter. To make this review easier to read, I will discuss the businesses in the following paragraph.    The anchor store is Albertson's. A few years ago it had one of the best Kosher selections in Henderson and Las Vegas. This is the largest store in the shopping center. It offers one of the two pharmacies in the shopping center. There is also a CVS. If you need a prescription this shopping center has you covered. If you need a restaurant or coffee it also has you covered. The restaurants include New Day Cafe, China Tango, Roberto's, a Hawaiin restaurant, Pizza Hut take out, Rounders (a pad to the immediate west), Subway, Starbucks and a few others. If you need a financial transaction there is a Bank of America and Chase. Adjoining the center to the west is an animal hospital. There are other businesses that share the same sea of asphalt. In the past I have reviewed the China Tango and New Day Cafe. However, I have also had several experiences in the center's Starbuck's, Albertson's, and CVS and a few in the Bank of America and Subway.     In conclusion, Anthem Highlands Shopping Center provides the essentials for the Anthem and Inspirada communities in a scenic shopping center with an edge of the metropolis vibe in a part of the valley that reminds me of Utah. It is a shopping center where you can also pick up a breathtaking view of the sunrise and sunsets over the mountains to the east. I hope to return in the near future.

Since 2005 I have visited the Paseo Verde Plaza several times. Whether it was part of an urban hike…read moreor a car stop, I have been no stranger to this Green Valley Ranch shopping center. During my yelping years since February 2011, I had reviewed some of its businesses including Smiths, China Go Go, Starbucks (out of business) and McDonald's with the contiguous trails.       The Paseo Verde Plaza is a Smith's-anchored shopping center that includes China Go Go, Fantastic Sam's, Southwest Medical, Port of Subs, Chase Bank, pet supply store, and other businesses. It sits off one of the most peaceful Interstate 215 exits and is in the picturesque community of Green Valley Ranch.    I appreciate the charmingly landscaped grounds and the extraordinarily spotless condition of the shopping center that looks much newer than its twenty plus years of existence. The landscaping incorporates wide setbacks of golf course green grass interspersed with palm trees that distance it from Valle Verde Drive. At the southeast corner there is a very serene outdoor patio that bridges the shopping center to the Green Valley Ranch community and trail system. Up until the time that the Starbucks abutting the Plaza closed in 2020, I delighted in hours here reading and writing under the Nevada sunshine in the company of a statutory turtle and hippo.   Moreover, I appreciate its connectivity to the outdoors. This is the only Southern Nevada shopping center that I know of that is connected to three trails. It is connected to the I-215 Eastern Beltway Trail at the north and the Paseo Verde and Amargosa Trails concurrency at the south. When I hiked round-trip between Green Valley Ranch Resort on solely the Paseo Verde Trail or in conjunction with the I-215 Eastern Beltway Trail, this has been a halfway stop. Additionally it is across the street from Paseo Verde Park where I have enjoyed a few China Go Go picnics.    Another thing I like about the shopping center is that it feels like a relatively close walk to all the businesses. The shopping center is not overwhelming.    Regardless that I am a fan there are a few challenges. The parking lot is cramped. Especially when a delivery driver or vehicles lining up for the McDonald's drive thru block the main drive. A stop light at the Valle Verde exit would be beneficial. Additionally the shopping center has lost a few good businesses such as Starbucks and a breakfast restaurant.     In closing I give Paseo Verde Plaza four stars. I am a fan of a few aspects that make it an enjoyable place to visit. First is its connectivity to three paved urban trails. Second I am a fan of the landscaping and the way it blends in with the surrounding community. Third I am a fan of the general laid back vibe along with the perception of it being safe on account of the area and spotless condition. Fourth I am a fan of the fact that I can visit Smith's, restaurants, and other businesses without feeling rushed and overwhelmed. Fifth, I am a fan of the fact that I can take out Chinese food, Port of Subs, or McDonald's and within a few minutes enjoy a picnic at a shady picnic table in Paseo Verde Park. With that said, I give Paseo Verde Plaza Four Stars.
