One of the aspects contributing to the popularity of downtown Las Vegas is its array of boutique shops and restaurants. These establishments provide unique gifts, and each purchase supports small business owners. On Saturday, November 30, the city of Las Vegas will promote local shopping for Small Business Saturday by offering free on-street metered parking in downtown Las Vegas, including the 18b Arts District.

The initiative to provide free parking aims to encourage customers to support local stores and restaurants through dining in, shopping in-store, or picking up orders.

Residents are encouraged to explore various ways to support local businesses during the holiday season and throughout the year. Suggestions include learning about local businesses and sharing them with friends, writing reviews for beloved businesses, purchasing holiday gifts from local vendors with online presences or curbside pickup options, buying gift cards for future use, utilizing local print shops for holiday cards, sourcing ingredients from neighborhood farmers’ markets for holiday meals, or ordering meals from favorite restaurants if cooking is not preferred.

Additionally, people are encouraged to save a specific photo related to this initiative, upload it on social media sites, tag their favorite small businesses, and share it with others.
