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.

The Eastern Promenade is a very small neighborhood strip mall that blends in with the far larger…read moreSansone Park Place Shopping Center* to the immediate south and Beltway Center to the north. The make up of this shopping center is primarily services and restaurants. Proceeding the review, there is a picture that shows the businesses. Essentially, it is a local shopping center. I have been here a few times. I am the kind of person that will park at a shopping center then walk across a few seas of asphalt to combine a trip while getting exercise. Yesterday, I incorporated a stop here as part of an urban hike that took me between the Sienna Trailhead and the I 215 Eastern Beltway Trail at Eastern Avenue. The thumbnail on the map creates the misconception that it is the far more interesting Sansone Park Place Shopping Center that has the sundry of restaurants. My intention was to review it. Anyhows, the only business that I have patronized in this far less interesting shopping center was the Hawaiin restaurant a few years back. From my observations, it is in a very high traffic area. If you are turning left from it onto the six lane southbound Eastern Avenue against a stop sign, you are putting your life and car insurance rates on the line. My recommendation is to drive to the back of the center to Sansone Park Shopping Center and enter Eastern Avenue at the traffic signal. In my opinion, if the make up of the shopping center was primarily chain stores, the maddening traffic would take away from the neighborhood aspect of the shopping center to the point that I would travel to a further location in a less crowded area. However, with the exception of the Money Tree and Absolute Dental, it is mostly small businesses. In the immediate future there is really nothing to bring me back to the shopping center. Additionally there has to be a good reason for me to put up with maddening traffic. By the time and if I return, it is most likely that I reviewed the Sansone Park Place Shopping Center by then. *Some of the businesses in the Sansone Park Place Shopping Center are Cafe Zupas, Einstein Bros Bagels, Smash Burger, and Taco Y Taco.

There's so many great shops here at Green Valley Plaza but yes there is one reason that I'm here and it's Trader Joe's though I did bookmark Mothership Coffee Roastery Bakery little did I know that it was just a couple doors down from Trader Joe's and there's also a Dollar Tree store was here as well so we did a quick peek in to see what they had. With lots of free parking this open air shopping complex is quite busy as many do come here for various reason I also saw Desert Art Supplies which got this crafter curious but didn't have time to check them out unfortunately but did love this location just outside of Henderson it's a bit far than I'd like but a great place for many reasons....shop, eat or just relax. Thank you!

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.

Other than the PTs Gold and Olivo Bistro, which both have gaming, there's probably not much going on later in the evening here.
