The One-of-a-Kind Metro McDonald's on the Las Vegas Strip

The Golden Arches like you've never seen them

At the Metro McDonald’s in Las Vegas you’ll find the familiar burgers you know, but in a setting you haven’t seen at any other McDonald’s. The two-story, artfully decorated Metro McDonalds is found only in Las Vegas.

"We wanted to create a one-of-a-kind restaurant that complements the current metropolitan landscape and character of Las Vegas," said Josephine Wee, Rocky Mountain Operations Manager for McDonald's. "Featuring 24-hour service, bright decor and unique art in a modern setting, Metro McDonald's provides a fresh dining experience that guests will enjoy for years to come."Metro McDonald's on the Las Vegas StripMetro McDonald's on the Las Vegas Strip — Photo courtesy of c_neuhas

As with all McDonald’s, guests enjoy free WiFi, a major plus on the Strip where it can sometimes be tough to find free Internet access. Since it’s open 24 hours a day, this McDonald’s fits into the 24/7 standard found up and down the Strip.

Opened in April 2012, the Metro McDonald’s opened with a grand opening celebration reminiscent of a Vegas nightclub debut, complete with red carpet, a live club DJ, showgirls, and celebrities. A portion of the grand opening's proceeds went to Ronald McDonald House, the charity that helps ill children and their families.

Located next to the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood and across from CityCenter, the Metro McDonald's offers visitors an inexpensive place to enjoy lunch without leaving the Strip.
