McDonald’s goes Vegas

Las Vegas -- McDonald’s has opened its first and only location under the Metro McDonald’s banner, in downtown Las Vegas.



The two-level, 6,734-sq.-ft. space is located on Las Vegas Boulevard, next to Planet Hollywood Resort Casino’s Miracle Mile Shops. The new McDonald’s boasts 24-hour service, digital menu boards and WiFi access. The contemporary-looking interior is bright and vibrant, with sleek furniture and graffiti-like murals.



"We wanted to create a one-of-a-kind restaurant that complements the current metropolitan landscape and character of Las Vegas," said Josephine Wee, Rocky Mountain Operations Manager for McDonald's USA.



While almost 90% of McDonald’s restaurants are independent franchises, the new Las Vegas store is corporate owned.
