Whether you are sick of losing at the slot machines or just need a break, consider stopping by Downtown Container Park for a reprieve.
When you think about Las Vegas, you probably think about this....
or even this…….
But the city has more to offer than just neon, gambling, and Elvis impersonators. I want to talk about one of my favorite places to go in the city, Container Park.
I love the concept; the shops, restaurants, and even bathrooms are made out of brightly colored, repurposed shipping containers. It creates an interesting visual and immediately struck me as “pretty cool”.
At the entrance you are greeted by an enormous fire emitting mantus. Every night they hold a ceremony in which children are asked to play drums and bongos to “wake the mantis up”.
In the center of the park there is a large playground for the children to play on.
There is a stage where the park hosts musicians to entertain the visitors.
In addition to being a cool place to look at and play in, the park has some really cool shops and yummy places to eat. I can personally speak to the quality of the Big Earns BBQ as well as Cheffini’s Hot Dogs. Pretty tasty! They park is still adding new shops and restaurants, see their website for a full list: http://downtowncontainerpark.com/
