Downtown landmark El Sombrero Café closes, Lego builds up to grand opening

El Sombrero

A landmark downtown restaurant shuttered last week.

El Sombrero Café, a New Mexican eatery, shut down Saturday after more than 60 years of business. As the legendary dining spot closed, new stores cropped up across the valley.

Lego arrived at the Fashion Show mall and a ubiquitous brand debuted a new pub. A marketing business opened its first Nevada location, and a new restaurant is serving patrons while educating its employees.
