The Golden Arches is shooting for some Sin City glamour with the first-ever Metro McDonald's on the Strip.

The fast food restaurant is transforming into a nightclub with celebrity servers and showgirls for a late-night grand opening May 4, although it's already open for business.

The two-story, 24-hour Metro McDonald's is across the street from CityCenter and The Cosmopolitan. The eatery features sleek furniture, digital menu boards, wireless Internet access and graffiti-like murals.

McDonald's official Josephine Wee says the restaurant complements the landscape and character of Las Vegas and creates a unique experience for diners.

The attraction is the first and only of the company's restaurants that's using the "Metro" moniker.
