\nThe partnership marks a significant collaboration between Mint Cannabis and the federally recognized tribe, bringing expanded retail opportunities, economic growth and a new destination experience for residents and travelers visiting Southern Nevada. The Moapa Paiute Travel Plaza will undergo a major transformation, including a remodeled exterior, a brand-new restaurant called \u201cThe Taco Spot\u201d that will serve breakfast burritos all day, and a fully upgraded convenience store with expanded offerings.<\/p>
\n\u201cThis partnership is about more than opening a dispensary \u2013 it\u2019s about creating a destination that supports economic growth, tourism and long-term opportunity for the community,\" said Raul Molina, COO and Co-Founder of Mint Cannabis. \u201cWe\u2019re honored to partner with the Moapa Band of Paiutes on this exciting next chapter. The Mint team has developed significant expertise in launching and operating successful dispensaries, and we hope to serve as a trusted resource for tribal communities interested in pursuing similar opportunities. We hope this is the first of many tribal partnerships that create jobs, generate revenue and support long-term economic development.\u201d<\/p>

The event is expected to be one of Nevada\u2019s largest fireworks celebrations. A unique feature of the celebration is a designated 40-acre fireworks launch area where attendees can legally light personal fireworks.<\/p>
\nThe two-day Semiquincentennial celebration will take place on tribal grounds and will include free admission and parking, live music, and a fireworks show at 10 p.m. on both July 3 and July 4. On Friday, July 3, Blanco Brown and Kylie Morgan will perform and on Saturday, July 4, Lonestar and Exile will perform.
