Resorts World Las Vegas and Junior’s Restaurant and Bakery have announced that Junior’s, the renowned New York restaurant known for its cheesecake, will open its first West Coast location inside the hotel and casino later this fall. This will mark the brand’s sixth US location, which will offer a full-service breakfast, lunch, dinner, late-night menu and bar along with its cheesecake offerings.
“Our goal is to continue to bring exciting dining experiences for our guests and expand our portfolio with unique concepts that can’t be found anywhere else in the city,” says Bartholomew Mahoney, vice president of food & beverage of Resorts World Las Vegas. “We are thrilled to be welcoming the first West Coast location of Junior’s and bring this beloved New York institution to our guests and visitors.”
“I feel like I just won the jackpot,” says Alan Rosen, third-generation owner of Junior’s. “I’m so lucky to have been selected by Resorts World to open our first West Coast location inside its property. I hope that both residents and visitors to the city will also feel lucky that they will be able to enjoy the World’s Most Famous Cheesecake, as well as all the delicious breakfasts, lunches, dinners, drinks and our other skyscraper desserts.”
Rosen notes that his grandfather Harry Rosen, who opened the original Junior’s in Brooklyn in 1950, “absolutely enjoyed coming to Vegas whenever he could. So I know he’d be thrilled that we are opening a location in the city he loved almost as much as New York.”
