The testing will be in the first floor of the parking garage of the Sam’s Town Hotel. People are encouraged to enter off Boulder Highway and E. Flamingo Road.
Prior to that, testing will be available in Searchlight on Saturday, May 23 from 8 a.m. to noon.

“Clark County’s emergency management staff and our community partners are working hard to build our testing capacity,” said Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft, whose Commission District includes the community of Searchlight as well as the Orleans drive-thru site, which was the first to offer testing to clients with and without symptoms. “The more residents who get tested, the better our data will be, allowing us to make well-informed decisions based on well thought-out science and facts.”
