Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux announced that it officially opened to the public at Harrah’s Las Vegas on Monday, March 28. To commemorate the occasion, Walk-On’s will host a ribbon cutting on Wednesday, March 30, marking the brand’s foray into the Las Vegas market.
The restaurant will bring its Louisiana flavor to the Las Vegas Strip with made-from-scratch dishes including Crawfish Etouffee, Duck & Andouille Gumbo and Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding, game-day classics such as burgers and everyday favorites like salads, wraps, and more. As the first Walk-On’s to feature a full breakfast menu, the Las Vegas location will offer new menu items such as a French Toast Bacon Double Cheeseburger and Chicken & Waffles, in addition to staple dishes like Biscuits & Gravy, Beignets and popular signature cocktails including the Mad Mary. With more than 82 TVs inside the space, Walk-On’s Las Vegas is poised as a go-to destination on The Strip.
“Our team of culinary experts has worked diligently to ensure that guests of this new location are welcomed with an authentic Louisiana experience,” said Brandon Landry, Founder and CEO of Walk-On’s in a statement. “We’ve found a great partner in Harrah’s Las Vegas, and it has been a pleasure working together on this project. And, with seasoned Vegas experts and Hash House A Go Go concept owners, Jim Nyberg, Jim Rees and Bill Underhill as our franchise partners, we’re confident that this team will bring our made-from-scratch cuisine to life.”
“We’re very excited to partner with the Walk-On’s and Caesars teams to bring a taste of Louisiana to the Las Vegas Strip and to create 180 new jobs in a very challenging market,” said Jim Nyberg, CEO of Hash House A Go Go. “The Walk-On’s concept is a leader in the casual dining space. We will be the first to offer a breakfast menu with their signature flavor which, when paired with signature cocktails and 82 TVs, offers a great place to spend game day on the Las Vegas Strip.”
“We have been working diligently on the transformation of our food and beverage offerings at Harrah’s,” said Dan Walsh, SVP and General Manager of Harrah’s Las Vegas. “With direct access to the state-of-art meeting and convention facility, CAESARS FORUM, Walk-On’s will offer Harrah’s guests a fun and welcoming experience for business and leisure travelers alike.”
