The Hawaiian Marketplace and an adjoining strip mall, Cable Center Shops, have closed on the Las Vegas Strip and nobody’s talking about it.<\/p>\n

The sketchy malls have been the butt of jokes for some time, but it appears the owners of this stretch of increasingly valuable real estate are finally making moves to try and turn blight into delight.<\/p>\n

Don’t get too excited, it’ll probably be another mall.<\/p>\n

Hawaiian Marketplace is one of those rare places that’s been improved by its closure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To get your bearings, the Hawaiian Marketplace sits across Las Vegas Blvd. from CityCenter and Aria, just south of Planet Hollywood.<\/p>\n

In 2019, the Hawaiian Marketplace was sold to Gindi Capital for $172 million. Which seemed like a lot for a collection of questionable restaurants and retail shops.<\/p>\n

Hawaiian Marketplace was like an entire orchestra of sad trombones.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gindi also got the neighboring Cable Center Shops, which featured the Boulevard Food Court.<\/p>\n

The food court had Pizza, Pizza, Taco Papi, Marsala Express and Wing Shack. Next door was a Fatburger.<\/p>\n

We hardly knew ye, odd collection of off-brand food outlets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pretty much all the venues in these two strip malls have now shuttered, sans fanfare or official announcement.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Pouring one out for Cable Center Shops, whatever those might have been.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The only places left at the Hawaiian Marketplace are Smokey’s Bistro & Bar and Best Buds, one of those fake dispensaries like the ones that recently oozed their way onto Fremont Street where tourists are duped into thinking they’re getting THC when they’re getting CBD.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the current state of the Hawaiian Marketplace and Cable Center Shops.<\/p>\n
