A fixture at Planet Hollywood, Pink’s Hot Dogs, has closed. A source says the closure of Pink’s is an initial step toward the arrival of Chick-fil-A. If the rumor pans out, this would be the first Chick-fil-a location on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Pink’s, an import from California, opened at Planet Hollywood resort in August 2009.<\/p>\n

\"Pink's
Insert seemingly random photo of Emmy winner Louie Anderson at Pink’s Hot Dogs here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A sign outside the now-closed Pink’s suggests customers make their way to another restaurant, Haute Doggery at the Linq Promenade.<\/p>\n

Haute Doggery and Pink’s are both operated by Block 16 Hospitality and owner Billy Richardson. Richardson also owns Holstein’s at Cosmopolitan, Flour & Barley at Linq promenade, Barrymore at Royal Resort and Public House at Venetian.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: Billy Richardson’s father, Bill Richardson, is construction manager of Resorts World. Las Vegas is a very small town.<\/p>\n

\"Pink's
Pink’s was founded by Paul and Betty Pink in 1939, when a hot dog cost 10 cents. The “Planet Hollywood” dog at Pink’s cost $8.25.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s estimated there were about 30 people employed at Pink’s Hot Dogs.<\/p>\n

We hear Pin-Up Pizza, adjacent to Pink’s Hot Dogs, will also close at Planet Hollywood, but that has yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

\"Pin-Up
We’re not entirely sure employees know the place could be closing, so let’s keep it between us.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pin-Up Pizza opened in January 2014.<\/p>\n

While there’s been no official announcement about what will replace Pink’s and Pin-Up Pizza, our source says these spaces will be absorbed into a footprint for the Las Vegas Strip’s first Chick-fil-A.<\/p>\n

We first shared news of a Chick-fil-A location on The Strip<\/a> back in April 2018, and the news nearly broke the Internet.<\/p>\n

\"Chick-fil-A
Get. In. Our. Belly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Again, Caesars Entertainment, which owns Planet Hollywood, has yet to confirm our story. Ditto Chick-fil-A.<\/p>\n

Hey, Chick-fil-A is worth the wait.<\/p>\n

It’s anticipated the Chick-fil-A at Planet Hollywood could be one of the chain’s most profitable locations, which is saying something given Chick-fil-A generates more revenue per restaurant than any other fast food chain in the country.<\/p>\n

We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for official news about Pin-Up Pizza, as well as long-awaited confirmation Chick-fil-A is finally coming to the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Update (9\/19\/18): Our story about Chick-fil-A coming to Planet Hollywood has been confirmed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update (12\/26\/19): Chick-fil-A at Planet Hollywood opens Jan. 30, 2020 with hours from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. As we first reported, Chick-fil-A will, technically, be open on Sunday (from midnight to 2:00 a.m.). Boom.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
