Denny’s will build a flagship restaurant in Neonopolis, giving a boost to the beleaguered downtown retail complex.

The new Denny’s location will be the sixth in Las Vegas and is expected to open early next year. 

The Fremont Street Denny’s flagship will boast an iconic architectural design that reflects the company’s brand identity as America’s diner. Denny’s is working with noted architect James Wines on the design elements of this location to make sure it truly embodies the spirit of the diner.

A new dental clinic will open in downtown Las Vegas on Saturday.

The Paradise Park Dental Clinic will give easier access to dental services to an under served area of the city. As part of the grand opening celebration kids from the Police Athlete League will get free dental checkups.

County Commissioner Lawrence Weekly will also be at Saturday's grand opening. 

“I am very excited to welcome this new dental clinic to District D,” Commissioner Weekly said. “For too many people a trip to the dentist is too expensive and too inconvenient. This new clinic will fix both of those problems.

 The clinic will provide services for kids and adults. It has multilingual staff to better serve the whole community. 

LAS VEGAS -- More small businesses are starting to see a bounce back in the economy and some are adopting new strategies to draw in more customers and be competitive.

At the Desert Food Mart at Charleston and Jones Boulevard, you can fill up your gas tank, gamble, buy food or drink, and even get your letters or packages mailed without the long lines found at the post office.

"They say it's at least 200 to 300 extra people that will walk into the store because of the mailing," said Iqbal Hussein, owner of the Desert Food Mart.

This new partnership with the U.S. Postal Service will help Hussein's business which took a dive during the downturn.

"We felt it, big time. We lost a lot of customers from the neighborhood, and a lot of them moved out, and now because of this, we're going to see a lot of traffic coming back in," he said.
