Vegas restaurant roundup: Two more burger joints, one less vegetarian option
Whataburger will open its only location in Las Vegas this fall. The chain, open 24 hours a day (except Christmas), will occupy a two-story building next to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel Downtown on the Las Vegas Strip. The building, formerly home to Bobby’s Burger Palace, will also house the previously announced Parry’s Pizzeria & Taphouse.
Whataburger is a cult phenomenon in Texas, where the company opened 72 years ago and currently operates 710 of 946 restaurants in the state. While this will be the only location in Las Vegas, it won't be the first. The chain opened several locations in the area during the late 1970s and 1980s.
Another iconic burger joint, In-N-Out, will open its La. location in late August across from Allegiant Stadium at Russell Road and Polaris Avenue. The 18th branch in the Vegas area. That's enough time for the Raiders to head into their first regular-season opener on Sept. 24 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It will be a retro-style venue designed to resemble the first In-N-Out, which debuted in Los Angeles in 1948. However, it will include important modern improvements. With heavy traffic expected on match day, a pedestrian window and "two" through lanes will be in place to accommodate up to 53 vehicles at a time.
Dining in and out of the area
VegeNation, the first vegetarian restaurant in downtown Las Vegas, closed last week after eight years in business. It's the latest of dozens of projects originally funded by Tony Hsieh's Downtown Project after the embattled former Zappos CEO left Las Vegas in August 2020 and his untimely death the project failed to survive. A few months later, 46 years old.
Arts District Food Park will open sometime in 2024 in an old auto repair shop downtown at 105. W. Wyoming Ave. The venue will have 7,000 square feet of outdoor space and is designed to serve as a popular A permanent home for food trucks, as well as a climate-controlled indoor area.
A new sports bar and tavern concept is also opening soon in the Arts District at 1508 S. Main St. Sunday Skool will offer "high-quality snacks made from scratch," according to documents filed with the Las Vegas City Planning Commission.
