Tropical Smoothie Cafe will be opening a new location in North Las Vegas and is holding a contest exclusively for North Las Vegas schools.

Starting on opening day, which is December 17, through December 21, the North Las Vegas school with the most students to visit the new location at Craig Road and Commerce Street during that first week will get a $500 cash donation from the cafe. All students have to do is let the cashier know their school, when placing an order.

There will also be specials for everyone on opening day, including 99-cent smoothies all day through 11 p.m.  

A popular Mexican restaurant is expanding into three new Station Casinos’ properties.

Cabo Mexican Restaurant will open additional locations at Sunset Station, Boulder Station and Aliante Station. The restaurants are set to open by September 29. With the new locations, there will be a new menu with expanded combo meals, guacamole made tableside, and seven new entrees.

The place will keep its popular all-you-can-eat tacos. To celebrate the opening, all Mexican restaurants in every Station Casinos property will offer the deal. Days of the week and times the special is available will vary by restaurant.
