Walgreens

This review is specifically regarding the Pharmacy and it’s staff.
I recently had to travel to Las Vegas, for work, from out of state. During my trip, to LV, my chronic Diverticulitis decided to rear it’s ugly head. By midday, I was in a considerable amount of pain. I called my G.I. Doc, back in my home state, to get a prescription sent over, for the usual antibiotics. Unfortunately, due to his medical license, he was unable to send the prescription, directly to an out of state pharmacy. He had the great idea, to send it to a Walgreens, near his office, then see if the LV location could transfer it. The LV Walgreens was indeed then able to transfer it, to their location, via their internal computer system.
I was in touch with Dave, in the LV pharmacy a few times by phone and he was just incredibly helpful. Very «matter of fact» and no-​nonsense. My kind of guy, really. He never made me feel like I was making him go out of his way, or anything of the like. He was the one who initiated the transfer, told me when to head over, from the hotel, so I wouldn’t get there after he closed for the night, etc.
After all this, the last thing I needed, was another problem, but… that was not to be, curse my luck. Unbeknownst to me, my most recent medical insurance card (which I DID have on me) DOES NOT have my prescription coverage information. (Separate card, now, apparently). Dave once again came to my rescue. He called my usual pharmacy, back home. Different company, completely. He was able to quickly get my current prescription coverage info, which they have on file. He then went over the meds with me, meticulously and made sure I understood all the «do’s and dont’s». I shook his hand and thanked him, profusely. He smiled and wished me all the best and his hopes that I started feeling better, soon. Just an all-​around great man. Really and truly helped me out, with the rather difficult set of circumstances, he had to deal with.

Went in to pick up Baby Shower invites. Biggest Walgreens I’ve ever seen! Sharon took pity on my poor computer illiterate brain and helped step by step, while still doing her job as cashier.
The store was busy, and I can see why. They have very cool gifts and souvenirs.
Also all the usuals.
Parking is TINY, but most people are walking so it wasn’t a problem.
I would drive out of my way to use their printer, etc again, just for Sharon.

Great location for quick purchases when you’re on the strip. The parking lot is convenient and I find myself stopping here pretty frequently to stock up on drinks or random other necessities when I’m staying on the strip or just passing by.

ZOMG Can you say OVER PRICED. Yeah, it’s on the strip, but REALLY, the same price for a can of travel sized hair spray as it is for a GINORMOUS bottle? *head shakes*
Pot smokers and pan handlers wait outside for you to walk by and accost you, it really just isn’t a pleasant place to visit. Avoid if you can.

Typical outrageous vegas strip prices. should be illegal. Distilled water is 2.5x more expensive than Walmart. I guess that makes sense since the now busted Dr. Oz promotes Walgreens. Check out some 7 eleven stores instead.

I had to just double check my receipts to make sure we’re all talking about the same Walgreens. Yes, this is the one. This store is just north of all the hustle from the busy Strip itself. I drove here from The Quad almost every other day for my cigarette fix. Until I realized a few days later there is a very nice larger Walgreens right next to The Venetian which was closer to me. I don’t know really, it’s a Walgreens which came in very handy on my first day in Vegas after realizing I forgot some things back home. I wouldn’t walk to this location from where I was staying though. There are also other shops surrounding it which are more affordable than your usual tourist traps down the street, e.g., Dennys, Ross, Liquor Store, Souvenir Stores.

prefer Walgreens for shopping on the strip, rather than CVS.

Terrible service, waited 10 — 15 minutes for someone to show up at pharmacy and she was the most disgusting, nasty and inhospitable person I have ever encountered in my life. Also bums hanging out at front door asking for money and when you do not give them money they curse at you, what a disgusting, nasty, awful place!

I prefer Walgreens for shopping on the strip, rather than CVS.

Daaaaayum, everything is expensive. The only things that weren’t were the souvenir shot glasses in the middle aisle for .99 haha. Sigh haha.

Cleanliest Walgreens bathroom out of all VEGAS on the strip at least.

Convenient location for us since we were staying at Encore. Stopped by because we realized we forgot to pack our Allegra!
Other than the location it’s just your regular Walgreens.

Very rude people. My son picked up a snow globe which then broke in his hand. The assistant manager then asked to pay and refused to write an incident report. Didn’t care that we had glass on him.

Prices are pretty high but it is on the strip. A good relief from the sun.

It is nice to visit a store that has almost everything we need that we could not get at the hotel, but their price is really not friendly.
12 bottles of water costed me $ 7.99 which is crazily higher than my home town. Well, what do you expect from tourist town.

Just your average Walgreens store, with much higher prices.
On a Las Vegas business trip, this was near my hotel. After sleeping, watching TV, and eating «all you can eat sushi» for the most of the afternoon and evening, I quickly ran over here to ensure I had breakfast and snacks for the week. Actually, I didn’t run. I sort of walked and stopped every once in a while when I was short of breath.
Anyway, I purchased premade turkey sandwiches, Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls, Pringles, bottled water, Gatorade, chocolate covered pretzels, and yogurt covered raisins. Clearly, I am training hard to make millions as a football player. I am on the JaMarcus Russell diet.
In the end, I don’t understand how this Walgreens feel it can sell certain items at ridiculously high prices that border on criminal. Seriously, why is prostitution is against the law in Las Vegas, while rape is so clearly legal.

AVOID ALL the Walgreens on the Strip! They are nothing but TOURIST GOUGING BUSINESS’S & not your neighborhood store you may be accustomed to. For Example:
I went into this store & brought my Arizona Iced Tea & pack of .99 cashews to the register & told the clerk «The Iced tea is on sale this week». She then asked if I had the coupon. I told her NO & asked her dont you have a Sales paper for this week?” She answered «NO.»
WTF?!! I then pulled out a reciept I just happened to have from a store I was at on Maryland blvd & showed it to her explaining that I DID NOT have a coupon then either and the store had a sales paper to accomodate me. She said she couldnt help me. I told her get the mgr.
The mgr came and explained that I needed to have a coupon. I showed her my reciept and told her I’ve NEVER heard of a Walgreens that didnt have a sales paper to accomodate customers and went on to say QUITE LOUDLY that all they were doing was «gouging tourist» by not honoring their weekly sales paper or making it available.
I left and will NEVER solicite any of these STRIP stores ever again & I will be venting with Walgreens mgmt via the 1800−763−0547 number.
Avoid these STRIP stores at all cost!

Clean and convenient public restroom on the strip, you don’t have to walk through 9 miles of mall or casino to find it. Just sayin’, keep it in mind…

I have to say aside from the hotels and casino’s, Walgreens has scored themselves some prime real estate. Plus open for business 24 hours, smart move!
They have everything (except alcohol) you need that you forgot to pack and everything, while still vegas priced, listed less than hotel prices.

A must stop before staying at the surrounding hotels for necessities such as water, soda, snacks, sunscreen etc. In addition they have a whole section for souvenirs. They don’t have the normal Walgreen sales but beats sundry store prices.
I suggest planning a pit stop around this store for a cold drink or even an Icee in 6 flavors.
They also had a whole section for photo developing.
We stopped twice over 2 days and both times although they were busy it was still quick.
