A new health center serving Culinary Union members and their families is set to open Friday near the Las Vegas Strip, offering a range of medical services at no cost.
The Culinary Health Center near Tropicana Avenue and Decatur Boulevard is the fourth facility in the Culinary Health Centers network. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 13.

Aaron Mahan, a Culinary Union member who works at an off-Strip property, said he has used the health centers since 2019 and relies on the Tropicana location as his primary care provider.
“It’s great. I mean, free, good quality healthcare, how many people have that? Very few people,” Mahan said. “Our healthcare is not normal. Who pays no co-pays, pays no premiums, and pays no deductibles in this day and age? I can’t name anyone else.”
“I get my prescriptions here. I don’t pay anything,” he said.
