CVS Health announced this month that it plans to open a new CVS store on the Las Vegas strip. The two-story location is expected to open in May of this year near the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road. The store will be over 20,000 square feet, double the chain\u2019s 10,000 square foot average. The new store will be open 24 hours a day, just like Vegas.<\/p>\n

Casinos aren\u2019t the only businesses making money on the Las Vegas strip. The new location marks the fourth CVS on the strip. Rival Walgreens has five stores on the casino corridor.
