While the Water Street District redevelopment project hit a roadblock this week, the Lake Mead Crossing shopping center nearby is right on track.

This weekend the grand opening for an anchor store, Sportsman’s Warehouse, is being held after the store had a soft opening last month.

“Business has been booming…we’re really looking forward to this weekend.  We think it’s going to be a lot busier.  Right now, nobody really knows that we’re open yet,” Office Manager Aaron Barnette said.

The store is pulling out all the stops to draw in crowds - especially those heading to lake Mead to fish.  They plan on offering incentives, plus displaying taxidermists and even a live baby tiger.

“The first 150 customers are going to receive 10 dollar gift cards and we open at 10 am on Sunday so I’m sure there are going to be lines out the door,” Barnette said.

Don’t expect to find tennis rackets or golf clubs at this store though, Sportsman’s Warehouse caters to the hunting and fishing crowd.
