Resorts World Las Vegas and Junior’s Restaurant and Bakery recently announced that Junior’s, the renowned New York restaurant, home to probably the world’s excellent cheesecake, will open its first West Coast location inside the hotel and casino later this Fall. Marking the brand’s sixth location in the U.S., the new 300-seat venue will offer a full-service breakfast, lunch, dinner, late-night menu and bar along with its amazing 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,” said 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,” said Alan Rosen, the third generation of his family to own 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.”
With a wide array of dishes, Junior’s will provide breakfast classics, including its french toast, giant omelettes, and lox and eggs. The iconic restaurant will serve lunch and dinner options including its acclaimed steak burgers, deli sandwiches and chef specialties. Additionally, Junior’s will offer a curated cocktail program at its full-service bar.
The new location will also offer Junior’s famous homemade cheesecakes, which come in some two dozen flavors, from the original New York plain to the ever-popular Strawberry, Chocolate Mousse and Red Velvet to new favorites such as Pumpkin, Key Lime and Oreo.
Rosen noted that his grandfather Harry Rosen, who opened the original Junior’s in Brooklyn on Election Day 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.”
