18b: The Las Vegas Arts District
Just south of downtown is the Las Vegas Art District that spans 18 blocks of contemporary commercial architecture. This area is best when visited on the first Friday of every month when an open-street carnival is held. The area has produced a fine collection of talented architects, artists, and photographers. Buildings graced with angled shop fronts and canopies create a ritzy atmosphere that deserves exploration. Within this area that was once very rundown and almost forgotten are art galleries, antique stores, small boutiques, cafés, condominiums, and furniture stores.
