Some brief history: Originally, Downtown Summerlin was going to be called 'Summerlin Center' or 'Summerlin Town Center'. It was slated to open in 2006/2007 but construction was halted in 2008 when the developer encountered financial difficulties.
Howard Hughes Corporation (original land owner and developer of Summerlin) took over the site and resumed construction of the now reimagined mixed use project in July of 2013. The outdoor mall subsequently opened in 2014.
With a fairly substantial area of land still left to develop; There are plans for another casino on the site and several other exciting projects for the area currently being ironed out.
