Chronic Tacos, a popular California fast food chain, plans to open its first casino restaurant in April at the Palms.
Known for serving generations-old Mexican recipes in large portions, the chain has about three dozen restaurants, including one in Summerlin at Village Center Circle.
Chronic Tacos will join the Eatery food court at the Palms, next to the Earl of Sandwich, which opened this past summer, and the Brenden Theatres.
The company, based in San Clemente, Calif., has built its reputation for using fresh ingredients and an assembly line approach to its made-to-order tacos, burritos and tamales. The menu provides vegetarian selections, including potato tacos. The restaurants also serve beer and wine.
Its first restaurant opened in 2002 at Newport Beach and quickly branched out to other beach communities, before spreading throughout California and British Columbia. Last spring, Chronic Tacos began serving baseball fansat Angels Stadium.
Palms Casino Resort has come a long way since its "Real World" debut in 2002. The boutique property features three distinct towers and a diverse mix of bars and restaurants across a 95,000-square-foot casino.
Palms, which features more than 1,200 rooms and fantasy suites, is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar transformation that will encompass an Ivory Tower room and suite redesign, new culinary additions, re-imagined gaming spaces and new, distinctive nightlife experiences.
In addition to newly designed rooms, during the first phase of the renovation, Palms will welcome Heraea, a high-energy American restaurant and lounge, and XISHI, a pan-Asian restaurant and lounge.
Fantasy Suites include the Hardwood Suite, the only hotel room in the world with its own basketball court.
Other amenities include the all-new Cantor Gaming® race and sports book, one of the few sports books in Las Vegas to include a poker room; SOCIAL; Scarlet; Chocolat Bistro; tonic bar; ghostbar; Pearl Concert Theater; Moon Nightclub; N9NE Steakhouse; Nove Italiano; Simon Restaurant & Lounge; Palms Pool & Bungalows; Kim Vō Salon; Drift Spa & Hammam; Brenden Theatres, a 14-theatre cineplex and more than 60,000 square-feet of meeting space.
