It’s lights out for Sun’s Out, Buns Out at Resorts World.

The restaurant has closed permanently, and was one of the resort’s original eateries when it opened on June 24, 2021. In its place, there’s a pop-up smash burger offering, Not a Damn Chance (NADC), with exactly one burger on the menu.

Let’s see if we can fluff up this story a bit, despite the fact we gave you all the relevant information already, shan’t we?

The chairs were Grammable, so there’s that.

Sun’s Out, Buns Out was fairly popular, relying heavily on its sassy name to get patrons in the door.

The restaurant offered a handful of egg sandwiches.

Here’s the menu for posterity.

We probably should’ve called “dibs” on the revolving statue out front.

Sun’s Out, Buns Out had a very low bar for Grammability.

Most traces of Sun’s Out, Buns Out are gone, but not all.

Out of the frying pan and into oblivion.

Rather than the space sitting empty, Resorts World added a pop-up burger joint, NADC.

Nothing fancy, but it’ll do in a drunken stupor.

Here’s the official description of NADC: “The brainchild of Chef Phillip Frankland Lee (Scratch Restaurants) and Neen Williams, NADC is unapologetically crave-worthy, fast-casual done differently. With a cult following across Austin, NYC, Chicago, and beyond, this pop-up brings the signature NADC experience to the Strip for a limited time only, turning the classic burger joint into a full sensory, late-night indulgence.”

Actual results may vary.

We tried a little food styling. It didn’t help.

It turns out, smash burgers aren’t particularly photogenic.

We had to cut this bad boy open. It’s a lot.

Not our thing, but you might love it.

NADC will be around through mid-October 2025. Unless it’s wildly popular. Let’s just say, not a damn chance.

Here’s the NADC menu. It’s easy to memorize.

You’re not getting “two three-ounce patties of 100% Wagyu beef” for $16. Well, it’s not the Wagyu you’re thinking of. This is probably a mix of Wagyu and Angus, the “Wagyu” being more of a marketing thing than a statement about the level of intramuscular marbling.

We’d read online that NADC has a strict “no substitutions” policy, but that’s untrue. We nixed the “tamed jalapenos” and no altercation ensued.

Unaffected by the closure of Sun’s Out, Buns Out is the adjoining Randy’s Donuts, where a dozen classic doughnuts cost $42.21 and a dozen “premium” doughnuts are $52.13. We are not making this up.

We indulged in a $4.50 classic glazed twist.

The struggle is real at Resorts World. We strolled through the resort’s food hall, Famous Foods Street Eats, and were struck by how few of the original concepts are still operating.

About half of the original concepts have gone belly-up. The good news is they’ve been replaced by more diverse offerings, including burgers (Burger Barn), Mexican (Michos Tacos), Mediterranean (Yaya’s) and fish and chips (Han’s Fish & Chips).

The current line-up at Famous Foods Street Eats includes Ah Chung Shandong Dumpling, Blood Bros., Burger Barn, Famous Pho, Fuhu Shack, Geyland Claypot Rice, Googgleman, Han’s Fish & Chips, Harajuku Ramen, Kuru Kuru Pa, Here Kitty Kitty, Michus Tacos, Nori Bar, Salad Jack’s, Streetbird, Sweet Eats, Tiger Sugar, Wu Zhang Artisan Noodles, and Yaya’s Mediterranean.

Resorts World still has a stunning number of restaurants, though.

Resorts World has been a non-stop source of drama and conversation since it opened, and given the current challenges facing Las Vegas (declines in visitation and revenue), this sprawling resort is going to be a blog content machine for some time to come.

Stay girded, friends.
