Downtown Summerlin is a 400-acre (160 ha) mixed-use development in Summerlin, Nevada, a suburban area on the western outskirts of Las Vegas. It includes the Downtown Summerlin shopping center, office space, and several apartment properties. Downtown Summerlin was developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation, which also developed the Summerlin community.

Planning for the mixed-use project was underway in the late 1990s. The project's first structure was the Red Rock Resort, developed by Station Casinos. It eventually opened in April 2006, after two years of construction. It would be followed by a bank building in 2007 and a Life Time Fitness gym in 2011.

General Growth Properties purchased Howard Hughes in 2004 and took over the site's undeveloped acreage. Construction of the shopping center and other components was delayed in 2008, due to financial problems. Howard Hughes took over the project again in 2010 and resumed work three years later, opening the retail center in October 2014. The first residential property was opened two years later.

City National Arena, the team headquarters for the Vegas Golden Knights NHL franchise and the UNLV Rebels hockey program, opened at Downtown Summerlin in 2017. The Las Vegas Ballpark, home of the Las Vegas Aviators minor league baseball team, opened in 2019.

Downtown Summerlin is located in the community of Summerlin South, Nevada, in a village known as Summerlin Centre,[1][2][3] which is bordered by Charleston Boulevard to the north, Sahara Avenue to the south, Hualapai Way to the east and Desert Foothills Drive to the west.[4][3][5] Downtown Summerlin's north and south boundaries are the same, but it is bordered by the 215 Beltway to the west and Town Center Drive to the east.[6] Aside from being located in the middle of Summerlin Centre,[7] Downtown Summerlin was also once planned under the name "Summerlin Centre".[8][9]
