Clark County is currently home to two outlets of Big Chicken, the chicken concept founded by Basketball Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O’Neal—but many more are on the way. News first broke of a Vegas expansion back in 2022, when it was announced that Vinnie Alba, a longtime Firehouse Subs franchisee, had signed a deal to open a total of 8 locations in Las Vegas and Henderson.

Since then, the brand has launched one new location, at 9595 W Tropicana Ave. And building permit paperwork submitted recently to Clark County now indicates the location of the brand’s next expansion: Harrah’s Laughlin.

The permit paperwork submitted by New Laughlin Owner LLC is for a new grease trap for a Big Chicken at the resort’s address, 2900 S Casino Dr, in Laughlin.

The Big Chicken menu features a variety of chicken sandwiches. These include the Shaq Attack, with pepper jack cheese, jalapeño slaw, and spicy chipotle BBQ sauce, and The Ultimate, with Mac & Cheese, crispy fried onions, and roasted garlic BBQ aioli. There are also other tasty items like popcorn chicken, chicken tenders, and a Caesar salad. For dessert: a variety of shakes, ice cream sandwiches, and the Big Cookie.
