Santa for the kids? NW area mall?
Well, I've searched and searched and either I stink at searching or there are no shopping malls in the Northwest Centennial Hills part of LV. I'm fine with that, I don't care much for malls, to be honest. But the holidays are upon us and my youngest two boys really really want to visit with Santa. I know there's the Fremont street thing, but to be honest, I don't like the downtown area much at all and would rather not go down that way. Is there a place more up in our corner of town that I might find a nice chance to take the boys to tell Santa their wish list and snap a photo?
Or is there a shopping mall that I'm missing? The closest I've found is Meadows Mall which I did NOT like at all (I found it kind of gross, to be honest) and is not very close, either.

Have we been here before, or are we yet to come?

What's so gross about the Meadows Mall? It's a clean, middle class mall. No Dullards, Needless Markup, or Sucks 5th Avenue. If that's what you're looking for, go to the Fashion Show on the Strip.

I'd have to agree with the OP regarding Meadows. While I haven't been there since 1999, it was a pretty unkept place even back then- given it's location, I'd be willing to bet it's gotten worse, not better, since.
The downside to LV with regard to malls is that there aren't many, and the only clean, decent malls are Galleria way down in Hooterville, and Fashion Show, which is out of the typical family's price range. Meadows and Boulevard have (had) way too many hood rats.

Honestly what I want is a nice clean family friendly place to take the kids to see Santa. I'm not looking for shopping so much as a good Santa that isnt on the strip or downtown.
When I went to Meadows the lace literally smelled bad. Maybe it was a fluke and something was wrong that day but we stayed only about 15 minutes because the smell was so disgusting that I had to get out of there. I'm thinking I'd rather not revisit that experience just to see Santa.

We go to Opportunity Village every year, but it costs to go. My mother-in-law gets the tickets a CVS. Lots of things for Kids, and a great atmosphere. Here is the website Opportunity Village - Las Vegas' Favorite Charity |

the Galleria has actually gotten pretty dirty...the only malls i go to now are the Fashion Show, Boulevard, Outlets, and Town Square...Town Square is far from you, but i believe they have a Santa... |

I can not remember, we will be going this week. But the admission prices do not include the rides, which kinda sucks. You can buy a pass that includes the admission and the rides or you can just buy tickets for the rides. But my daughter loves going, and has so much fun. Which makes it worthwhile. |

We took our kids to Meadows last year which is fine on the inside. The outside is run down and could use a makeover, but we didn't have any issues and the line wasn't too long  |
