History
The mall opened in 1978, at a time when The Boulevard Mall was the city's only other major indoor mall.[2] The mall's name is derived from the English word for Las Vegas: Meadows. The mall received a renovation in 1995, which included the expansion of its Dillard's store.[3] A partial renovation took place in 1997,[1] and included a new overflow parking lot added near the mall's J.C. Penney store. At the time, the mall was composed of 123 stores, and included one restaurant and a 14-vendor food court, as well as a merry-go-round.[4]
The mall was sold to General Growth Properties in May 1998. At that time, the mall contained 951,000 sq ft (88,400 m2).[5] By May 1999, General Growth Properties had increased the mall's occupation to 95 percent.[6]
In June 2003, General Growth Properties began a multi-million dollar renovation that would include brighter indoor lighting, tile flooring, a new color scheme, a new stone facade, exterior paint, and enhanced landscaping.[7] The company felt that the mall, with its dated 24-year-old presentation, needed a contemporary look to compete. The mall remained open during renovations, with most of the work being done during night hours.[1]
With 99 percent of the renovations complete, the mall celebrated its grand reopening on November 21, 2003, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that morning, followed by live jazz performances and a live children's show featuring Strawberry Shortcake. Several new stores had been added during the renovations, which included new bathrooms and a revamping of the food court. The mall contained 947,370 sq ft (88,014 m2) at the time.[2][8] In conjunction with Valley Hospital Medical Center and the Summerlin Hospital, the Meadows Mall added the 1,640 sq ft (152 m2) Healthy Living Play Area in November 2004, as a way to educate children about healthy lifestyles.[9][10]
