Meadows Mall is a shopping mall in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Meadows Mall is owned by the General Growth Properties Inc., and is located on 84 acres (34 ha). It is a two-story enclosed mall with 960,000 ft² of space. The mall has 140 stores and 4 anchors. It is surrounded by 4,900 surface parking spaces in four different color-coded lots (Red, Blue, Yellow and Green). Its anchor stores are Dillard's, Macy's, J. C. Penney and Sears.
Dayton-Hudson Corporation began planning the mall in 1973. That year and again in 1974, the Las Vegas City Commission voted against the mall as some members felt that the project should be moved to a better location. In early 1974, Dayton-Hudson won a district court order which required the city to grant a necessary zoning variance. The City Commission appealed the ruling to the Nevada Supreme Court. In 1975, the Supreme Court forced the City Commission to grant the variance.
Groundbreaking took place in May 1976, and construction took more than two years, at a cost of $20 million. Ernest W. Hahn Inc. was the general contractor. More than 1,200 people worked on the mall during construction. The mall was designed by architectural firm Charles Kober & Associates, which chose desert colors and tones for the building.
The mall opened in 1978, at a time when The Boulevard Mall was the city's only other major indoor mall. In September 1978, after the mall's opening, Dayton-Hudson announced that the mall would be sold as part of corporate downsizing. At the time of opening, the mall included 7,600 parking spaces and two anchor stores: Diamond's and The Broadway. Sears and J. C. Penney stores were scheduled to open in 1979, thus completing the mall. Approximately 3,000 people were expected to ultimately be employed at the mall. The mall's name is derived from the English word for Las Vegas: Meadows.
