Haters gonna hate, but Guy Fieri’s restaurants in Las Vegas are better than you’d expect, including Chicken Guy, a fast food chicken sandwich and tender spot with locations at Caesars Palace and, most recently, Harrah’s.

Technically, the name of the restaurant is “Chicken Guy!,” but if you follow this blog at all, you know we eschew stylistic affectations, other than the first person plural, of course.

Chicken Guy is located in the Fulton Street Food Hall at Harrah’s. That’s a food court to us commoners.

Careful, you’re carrying $100 of food on that tray.

Easily the best thing about Chicken Guy is how much better it is than its competitor in the food courts at Caesars and Harrah’s, Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay.

While Fieri’s restaurants consistently exceed expectations, Bobby’s Burgers consistently make one want to jump headlong into an industrial waste management crusher-shredder.

By “Fieri’s restaurants,” of course, we mean Fieri-branded restaurants operated by Caesars Entertainment’s food and beverage department. Guy Fieri, like all food personalities, doesn’t actually do anything at his restaurants. His people sign off on the menu and such, and Fieri is contractually obligated to visit once a year for photos to promote his licensed venues.

Fieri gets five percent of the restaurant’s gross revenue.

Here’s his new place at Harrah’s Las Vegas.

Yes, we removed the exclamation point in the logo. If you don’t like it, create your own blog.

The focus at Chicken Guy is the sandwiches, tenders and shakes.

For the tenders, there’s a choice of 11 signature condiments.

Here’s an overview of the offerings from the official news release: “Delectable menu items include chicken sandwiches such as the Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ Big Bite Sandwich made with pepper jack, Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ sauce, special sauce, slaw, pickles and barbecue chips and the Jalapeno Popper Big Bite Sandwich made with Jalapeno Ranch sauce, pepper jack, sliced jalapenos, bacon and jalapeno cream cheese. Guests can also munch on the Fried Pickle Chips, Loaded Mac ‘N’ Cheese, Chicken Guy Fries with Guy’s signature fry seasoning and American Slaw. For dessert, Chicken Guy offers a variety of tasty Flavortown Shakes, including vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, Oreo, Triple Double Mint and Apple Cinnamon Cereal.”

There’s a lot of peculiar food here, and we can only vouch for the Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ burger, but it was solid.

The Fulton Street Food Hall has been at Harrah’s since 2014. Of course we wrote about it, we are a noted Las Vegas food court expert. Guy Fieri’s new chicken stand replaces Fulton Street’s former sandwich counter. Here’s what’s out at Harrah’s.

Out with the meh, in with the Meh-yor of Flavortown.

Chicken Guy isn’t cheap, but you’re in Las Vegas. They price everything with the classic “.99” at the end so you won’t have sticker shock. You still will, but, again, you’re in Las Vegas.

Just for the basics, a sandwich, fries and fountain drink, you’re in for a $30 lunch. The prices at Harrah’s are in line with those at Caesars Palace.

You’re on vacation, don’t be such a tight-ass.

Big thanks to our buddy @JamesinLasVegas for the pics. We drove by for some photos, but parking was $35 at Harrah’s, so that was a hard no.

James helps us out for free, so we don’t get to complain about his photography.

If high prices have been a concern for you, have no fear, Las Vegas is currently experiencing a swift kick to the bottom line. Prices and perks will be adjusted accordingly as competition for visitor dollars intensifies.

You can see more about Chicken Guy on the Harrah’s Las Vegas Web site, but not a lot more, because they haven’t updated the link to the restaurant page yet, it’s just an endless loop of reloading the resort’s restaurant landing page, an error that never would’ve happened when we did digital marketing at Caesars Entertainment because we are perfect.

Here’s the Caesars Palace page for Chicken Guy. Yes, the page says Caesars is “one of the most legendary resorts on the Las Vegas Strip.” There’s no such thing as “most legendary.” It’s either legendary or it’s not, like “iconic.” There’s no “most iconic.” Yes, this is a hill we’re willing to die on, in case you were wondering.

If you need more Guy Fieri, and why would you, there’s Guy Fieri Sports Kitchen at Horseshoe, Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar at Linq, the formerly closed Guy Fieri’s El Burro Borracho at Rio and Guy Fieri’s Tailgate at Allegiant Stadium.

The debate will rage on about Guy Fieri’s contributions to food and pop culture, but when you’re drunk and hangry, his food court fast food options are reliably reliable.

Yes, Guy Fieri’s public persona embodies a hyper-commercialized, performative iteration of celebrity chefdom, marked by an exaggerated, flamboyant aesthetic and catchphrases that signal both populist appeal and cultural commodification, and this duality of commercial success and culinary mediocrity often invites critiques from gastronomic purists and cultural elites, but Las Vegas was built by colorful characters and we’re pretty sure Guy Fieri DGAF how ChatGPT describes him. He’s having a blast and making bank. You know, the other things Las Vegas was built upon.
