Culinary Union Turns Strip-Side Ghost Lot Into Worker Health Hub

The Culinary Health Fund says the Tropicana center will include primary and pediatric care, mental health counseling, dental services, physical therapy and radiology, along with a drive through pharmacy and wellness classrooms. Those services will be reserved for fund participants and their dependents, according to rollout materials. Recent coverage notes that the Craig Road clinic opened in April 2025 and is roughly 97,000 square feet, and that the Tropicana location is expected to begin serving members in summer 2026, according to KTNV.

Union trustees say the Tropicana center will employ roughly 200 people, including more than 40 clinicians, and could handle around 100,000 patient visits each year. The official groundbreaking took place on Jan. 16, 2025, and the fund describes the Tropicana clinic as the network's fourth location in the valley, intentionally designed to keep care affordable and convenient for hospitality workers and their families, according to Culinary Union Local 226.
