Valued at $750 million,[13][17] Town Square was opened on November 14, 2007, amid the Great Recession.[18][19] It opened with 38 tenants,[20] while others debuted in 2008.[21] The recession inadvertently aided Town Square by delaying several competing projects: Downtown Summerlin, Great Mall of Las Vegas, and Tivoli Village.[20] Although it was built primarily for local residents, Town Square also quickly became popular with tourists.[22]

A nearby Fry's Electronics store, located south of Town Square, was purchased by Turnberry and Centra to become part of the mixed-use project ahead of its opening.[10][12][15] The store originally opened in 2003,[31][32][33] and closed in 2021 as the company ended operations.[34] Town Square contains 1.5 million square feet (140,000 m2),[8] excluding the former Fry's building.[35]

Town Square opened with several restaurants,[45][46] including Yard House.[12] Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar opened a location at Town Square in 2014,[47][48] as did GameWorks.[49] The latter closed in 2021, when the company ended operations.[50]
Shear Madness, an interactive play, ran briefly at Town Square during 2009. It closed as a result of the Great Recession.[51] Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar, based in Texas, operated a Town Square location from 2009 to 2012.[52][53][54]
Town Square opened with 350,000 sq ft (33,000 m2) of office space, located above the retail space.
Upon opening, future plans for Town Square included a 270-room hotel.[1] TIAA and Fairbourne have also considered the addition of a hotel, which would be constructed on the property's northwestern area.[3] However, it remains unbuilt as of 2022.
