From The LVRJ: And now, Las Vegas, is the time for a winding buffet line filled with pot roast, meatloaf and fried chicken. And yes, the chocolate fountain has arrived.
Inside the new Golden Corral at 1455 S. Lamb Blvd., the buffet chain’s famous dessert fountain was flowing in all its glory Wednesday. The state’s only Golden Corral opens to the public at 10:30 a.m. today. The last Las Vegas Golden Corral closed 20 years ago.
The man who brought the family restaurant chain back to the city (and Nevada), Robert Lopez, is a franchise veteran who started his business adventure with an Arizona-based Burger King in 1995. Today, his JMJ has multiple enterprises under its umbrella: 12 Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers in the Phoenix area, one Wendy’s in McCarran International Airport, Chocolat at the Palms, a bistro in the car rental center at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and a hair and nail salon in Scottsdale, Ariz.
“All indications are that it will be a very successful Golden Corral,” Lopez said.
If all goes well at this location, JMJ plans to open at least two more sites in Las Vegas, one in the northwest and one in Henderson.   http://www.reviewjournal.com/business/golden-corral-opening-las-vegas-207-new-workers
When I lived in Wisconsin, we went to a Golden Corral in the Steven's Point area and if this Golden Corral is like this one, it will have trouble competing with the casinos and their buffets and restaurants.  The one in Wisconsin was smaller and offers fewer items than most buffets in the Valley.
But maybe it will be a successful neighborhood buffet, as the closest buffet is at Boulder Station, a few miles away.  But I don't think many people will travel out their way to go to the Golden Corral from other parts of the Valley.
But hopefully, this business will succeed.
