The Legends at Village West is a super-regional shopping mall and lifestyle center located in the Village West development in Kansas City, Kansas. The mall has a gross leasable area of 1,200,000 square feet (110,000 m2).[1]
The shopping center is part of a more than $500 million investment, surrounded by the Kansas Speedway, Livestrong Sporting Park, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Great Wolf Lodge, Phoenix Theatres at the Legends 14, Cabela's and CommunityAmerica Ballpark. The Legends at Village West is still an ongoing project as there are more developments in the planning stage. A $705 million Hard Rock Hotel and Casino was planned but the casino pulled out of consideration.[2] The shopping center offers more than 110 retail/restaurant outlets including Dave & Busters. New stores include Best Buy, Target, JCPenney, Wal-Mart, and Kohl's.
The Legends at Village West includes an audio walking tour of the more than 80 Kansans who are represented visually on medallions, posters, murals and in sculpture throughout the center. The Legends honors legends of Kansas in athletics, music, exploration, science, technology, politics, art and other fields. The Legends theme is interwoven throughout the facility, offering information about Kansas’ history, heritage and environment. Each corridor and courtyard of the center is dedicated to a particular category of famous Kansans or aspect of the state and its history, such as a replica of The Wizard of Oz's Yellow Brick Road.
