As residents respond to the health recommendation to be tested for COVID-19, patients are being asked to book appointments online through UMC’s website before arriving at the drive-thru and walk-up testing sites set up at the Texas Station parking garage or UNLV’s Tropicana parking garage next to the Thomas & Mack Center.
The sites will be closed July 3 through July 5, in observance of the July Fourth holiday.
They will resume operations July 6, and offer testing six days a week next week instead of five, before returning to their normal operating schedule of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
The UNLV Tropicana site is located in the parking garage next to the Thomas & Mack Center off Tropicana Avenue and University Drive.
The Texas Station site is located in the parking garage on the south side of the property off Rancho Drive at 2101 Texas Star Lane in North Las Vegas.
Both sites are being operated by Clark County and UMC in partnership with the Nevada National Guard. The sites are open to anyone, whether they are exhibiting symptoms of the virus or not, including children.
