Laughlin residents starting Wednesday may register by phone for an appointment to participate in free drive-thru coronavirus testing next week at the Aquarius.

Appointment-only testing will occur from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 12-13 inside the valet area of the hotel-casino’s parking garage, and 500 tests will be available each day, according to Clark County.

Residents must present identification upon arriving and should plan to get there at least 15 minutes ahead of their appointment. The polymerase chain reaction test will show whether someone has the coronavirus.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Laughlin residents may sign up for an appointment by calling 702-298-2214, extension 4 or 5. The cutoff to schedule a test is Friday.

Testing is being offered by the county in collaboration with the Laughlin Chamber of Commerce, Southern Nevada Health District and other community partners.

The Aquarius is located at 1900 S. Casino Drive.
