It seems both of the Las Vegas Valley's "downtowns" can't be stopped: New bars are opening on Fremont Street and in Downtown Summerlin soon.

Plus: another branch for a local credit union, a trade center and a few revamped Rubios.

    • Public School 702's ahi tacos.

      Public School 702

      Downtown Summerlin will welcome the California-based gastropub Public School 702 today.

      In addition to a variety of beers on tap, cocktails and American favorites such as bacon cheddar tots, Public School 702 also will feature an outdoor area complete with beer pong, oversized Jenga, Connect Four and more. The 14,000-square-foot venue at 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, which is designed like a classic schoolhouse, also will host Wednesday night karaoke and a vinyl-spinning DJ on Saturdays.

      The bar is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to midnight Saturday and Sunday.

    • Therapy's The Perfect Cure.

      Las Vegans looking for a quick escape this summer can get a dose of Therapy when this lounge opens downtown later this month. The main dining room will house a 32-foot bar that will feature 40 craft beers, 10 draft beers and various cocktails. Hungry guests can indulge in dishes such as the Big Sexy Burger or chicken and red velvet Belgian waffle sliders.

      “When you’ve had a long day, oftentimes the best cure is delicious food and strong cocktails with great friends,” Vice President of Operations Roger Seaholm said. On the weekends, the lounge, 520 E. Fremont St., will feature dancing, DJs and live entertainment.

    • Silver State Schools Credit Union

      East Las Vegas’ Winterwood Pavilion Shopping Center is home to the newest branch of the Silver State Schools Credit Union, which opened May 28.

      “The new branch allows SSSCU to improve its ability to better serve members and their financial needs,” CEO Andy Hunter said.

      The Winterwood branch, 2256 S. Nellis Blvd., includes five teller stations, a walk-up ATM and a coin machine. A community wall provides members the opportunity to share information and community news.

      The credit union is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

    • Las Vegas International Trade Center

      Huanghai Inc. has unveiled plans for Las Vegas’ first International Trade Center, which will be built on 35 acres of land near Cheyenne Avenue and Commerce Street.

      The Trade Center will feature 250 facilities providing manufactured Chinese goods, ranging from electronics to textiles. EB5 financing, which was used to complete the renovation of SLS Las Vegas, will fund the $100 million project.

    • Rubio’s Coastal Grill

      Las Vegas locations of the popular fast casual chain Rubio’s are set to undergo a redesign after 45 of its California restaurants were successfully transformed.

      The new logo, Rubio’s Coastal Grill, is inspired by the brand’s beach heritage and will include a vast coastal cuisine menu featuring a chipotle orange salad and a grilled gourmet taco with shrimp.
