The Legends at Sparks Marina will be having its public opening and ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. on June 18, to be followed by a grand opening celebration from July 31 through August 9. On the 4th of July, there will be a free shuttle service to the Star Spangled Sparks events at Victorian Square/John Ascuaga's Nugget and Sparks Marina Park. Nearly 50 new stores will be opening, joining those already open, like Scheels All Sports and Best Buy. A sampling of those setting up shop at the Legends include Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Banana Republic Factory Store, Carter's, Converse, Nike Factory Store, Fuddruckers, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5th, and Volcom.

The Legends at Sparks Marina project includes features reflecting Nevada history - cowboys and tumbleweeds, racing airplanes, and native Lahontan cutthroat trout swimming upstream through a series of fountains. When completed, the Legends will be 2 million square feet of various retail, restaurant, and entertainment venues. It's expected to bring 600,000 to 800,000 new visitors annually, in addition to the 5 million tourists who visit the Reno / Tahoe region each year.

There is lots of free parking at Legends, but I'd try to go early to avoid the inevitable traffic snarls. The Legends at Sparks Marina is located at 1555 E. Lincoln Way, at the intersection of Interstate 80 and Sparks Blvd.
