Hey there, The Mighty Gamera here 😎.
So, we went to Starbucks at this shopping center, and this review will cover both Starbucks and Aliante Market Mall.
Starbucks is Starbucks, but this one was too run of the mill and could be a little more festive. The music was corporately loud and pedestrian. I wish stores would tone down the music as it is distracting and super annoying to the employees. I know some employees in retail, and often, their #1 complaint is the loud corporate music that's on a loop. I'd want to hang myself after a while, but the bean counters don't care. Zoinks...
As for the shopping mall, I'm not impressed with the overall layout. Traffic in that tight area has conflicts with the drive-through lane. We had to maneuver around it to get out. Blah...
2.1292 stars for the mall and 3.5267 stars 🌟 for Starbucks. Lol
Oh, and there is a small nature park across the street that has a fun pond and waterfall.
Happy New Year and great health to you...
Read moreI would guesstimate products at Natural Grocers are 90%+ organic. Produce is 100% organic and as good as it gets in N. Las Vegas.

The majority of grocery stores in my area are somewhere between waterboarding and drowning produce. Keeps cilantro looking good on store shelf, shortens length of time it lasts in fridge at home. Natural Grocers uses the misting method which makes a positive difference. Store is always clean. They have THE BEST bulk organic mushrooms I've ever seen, usually 3 or 4 varieties. Natural Grocers staff is genuinely friendly & helpful. Unlike most large grocery store chains which tend to be understaffed & overworked creating grumpy &...
Read moreI'm ambivalent about this shopping center. There are several shops here I frequent. One of the best run Smith's grocery stores is here. There's a great 7-11, a Quest lab, a great UPS store, one of the better China A-Go-Go takeout shops, and the amazing Rocco's Pizza. There's more, of course, but these are the ones I am most aware of. But, and this is huge, the parking (except for the Smith's) is horrible. The design doesn't allow people driving through to see you pulling out of a space until they're, literally, too close for safety. And, people being people, the ones driving through go too fast and would rather sacrifice their children than let you pull out of your parking space. It's...
