Walgreens

Coral is a rude employee. I live at a highrise down the street and this lady was so rude to me.

I got all excited when this new Walgreens opened. I had assumed it’d be like the one I used to go to in Chinatown in Washington, DC. Multiple floors, a manicure section, a big deli section, self-​serve froyo, lots of snacks and novelties, a big beauty section, etc. This Walgreens is NOT that kind of Walgreens. It made me sad. It’s only one floor and it’s not all that big. It’s like the fancy Walgreens I loved, but super scaled down. So it’s cleaner, nicer, and hipper than all older Walgreens, but it’s not the super cool Walgreens that I was hoping for. But if you’re wandering the Strip and find yourself needing some sort of necessity, stop in here — it’s a cheaper alternative to the hotel lobby stores and other places you might find on the Strip.

I have now been here several times. There are many highlights to this new location. There is no store within a mile that has its variety. It is Really is for tourists & those living close by that may need a last minute item. This location is very much like a small grocery market, minus the produce. At NIGHT, parking is in the back BuT, doors only open in front.
Highlights Extensive Soup/​Dinner/​coffee/​tea isles
Candy every kind imaginable, movie size
Yummy frozen comfort food area
ICECREAM, SEVERALLL KINDS :-)
Tons of junk food & large area with
Healthier choices of nuts
Alcohol area is large. All popular vodkas,
Bottles, etc.
DOM & ACE for that last
Minute Celebration.

Prices here are higher & do reflect the convenience of location but all in all, true upgrade to area.
Pharmacy on site.
All kinds of travel items, phone batteries, music headphones, etc. in case you lost or forgot to pack something.

Woo hoo! This long-​awaited Walgreens has finally opened its doors! Today! I was out for a run (ok, a jog…) this morning and I noticed that there were people in suits milling around the Walgreens. Since I live across the street, I’ve been stoked for this place to open, so I went on in.
For a drugstore, this place is LEGIT. It’s very similar to the giant CVS on the south end of the strip. It’s very clean (though we’ll see how long that lasts, considering it’s Day One) and conveniently located a stone’s throw from the SLS. It’s a weird spot — the north end of the strip is (allegedly) gentrifying — you’ve got the super old and not so aesthetically-​pleasing «World’s Largest Gift Shop» on one corner, the gorgeous SLS on another, the almost-​finished Rockin Rio on another, and then this Walgreens on the Northeast corner.
I’m sure I’ll be frequenting this place, hopefully they keep it as nice as it looks today!
