Only on a slow news day can everyone get whipped up about a fast food burger joint coming to The Strip. This is that.<\/p>\n

A two-story Whataburger is slated to open in a spot at the base of the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas hotel in the fall of 2023. Construction is already under way.<\/p>\n

It will share space with Parry’s Pizzeria & Taphouse, a far more intriguing offering, all due respect. Because pizza.<\/p>\n

Today, A.I. taught us “guy yawning” and “guy eating boring burger” are almost exactly the same thing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The location of the new Whataburger is odd. It’s not really part of Waldorf Astoria. That would be weird. It more adjoins the Waldorf Astoria.<\/p>\n

A completely forgettable burger restaurant, Bobby’s Burger Palace<\/a>, previously failed in the same spot.  You can now find the equally disappointing Bobby’s Burgers at various Caesars Entertainment resorts, including Paris, Harrah’s and Caesars Palace.<\/p>\n

Not even being drunk could help Bobby’s Burger Palace.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whataburger will be across the street from what used to be the Hawaiian Marketplace (soon to be BLVD) and next to what used to be the Monte Carlo (now Park MGM). Things move fast in Vegas.<\/p>\n

Waldorf Astoria was previously Mandarin Oriental before it was canceled due to the name being cringey, probably.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The reaction was mixed at the news Whataburger would return to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s a return, despite the fact many news outlets are reporting the restaurant will make its debut in Las Vegas. They aren’t Vegas enough.<\/p>\n

There were several Whataburger locations in Las Vegas a few years back, but eventually the brand disappeared from Las Vegas. We trust that wasn’t because business was booming.<\/p>\n

In a quick poll on Twitter, we found about half of the respondents haven’t tried Whataburger before. A third of the 3,389 who responded said they love Whataburger, about 10% don’t care for it. About 16% said they have no opinion, and we trust there were a lot of “mid” votes in that mix.<\/p>\n
