March 2, 2011 - 2:54 pm
Las Vegas casinos have their share of themed bars.
There’s V Bar at the Venetian, Ghostbar at the Palms, Rhumbar at The Mirage, and the Center Bar at the Hard Rock.
The Rio will soon offer guests the Whopper Bar.
The restaurant is an enhanced version of fast-food giant Burger King’s famous hamburger brand. The Whopper Bar is a 24-hour eatery offering customers 30 different hamburger toppings and Whopper concepts not found at traditional Burger Kings.
The Whopper Bar also allows customers to order various beers with their meal.
The restaurant is operated by Burger King franchisee HKMII and will be the first Whopper Bar on the West Coast.
“This concept is particularly well-suited for the Las Vegas market,” said HKMII General Manager David Mitchell.
Among the 30 toppings include A1 steak sauce, pepper bacon, guacamole and crispy onions.
The restaurant also has several specialty hamburgers, including The Angry Whopper, which includes spicy jalapeños and pepper jack cheese; the California Whopper, with guacamole, bacon and Swiss cheese; and the BK Black& Bleu Steakhouse, with bleu cheese and blackened Cajun sauce.
In addition to the hamburgers, the Whopper Bar will serve breakfast from 2 a.m. to 11 a.m.
