Las Vegas’ most anticipated openings in 2016 — POLL

With all the retail and restaurants in development for Las Vegas, asking our Facebook followers to choose which they're most excited to have open next year seemed like a difficult task, as many couldn't chose just one.

After tallying all the comments and likes, there was one "new" chain that proved to garner the most support — Chick-Fil-A.

Russ Cambria commented, "Chick-Fil-A BABY!! Within 2-3 years there needs to be 15 locations in this city! Aliante, Summerlin, Centenniel Hills, South Point, just to name a few spots." 

Trailing right on the heels of the chicken sandwich legend was Swedish home furnishing favorite Ikea. There were also quite a few cheers of excitement from fans of burger joint Wahlburger's.  

Rounding out the list was Guy Fieri's new restaurant at the Rio hotel-casino, El Burro Borracho, which saw mentions from five people. There was no mention for Gordon Ramsay's new Fish & Chips spot, which is slated to open at the Linq next summer.

There were some suggestions for places that haven't announced any plans to expand to Las Vegas. A few people liked Kassie Corso Benoit's recommendation, "We need a Texas Roadhouse, a Friendly's, and a Waffle House!"
