The Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada, 401 S. Maryland Parkway, has reopened its David Bohnett Cybercenter, which is open to the public free of charge.

A taste of Oregon will come to Las Vegas when Dutch Bros. coffee opens its first drive-thru in town this summer. And more cool treats are in store for valley residents as Amorino gelato shop adds a second location at the Las Vegas North Premium Outlets.

Also, the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada reopens its David Bohnett Cybercenter after upgrading eight computers, fine jewelry retailer Berger & Son plans an expansion at Fashion Show mall, and Smith's closes one store and celebrates the grand reopening of another.

      The Fashion Show mall’s longest-running independent retailer, Berger & Son, will debut a larger store this December as it doubles in size.

      “Our loyal customers have been asking for brands I’ve been unable to carry due to the size of my store,” Stuart Berger, owner of the store that sells fine jewelry and watches, said. “Now I have an opportunity to provide them with even more exceptional, exclusive service by inviting them into this new, extended space.”

      Construction will start at the mall, 3200 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Aug. 1 and end the first week of December — just in time for the holiday season.

      The current store's hours are from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday–Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
