- Zippy’s, the popular Hawaiian diner chain, has announced it will be closing one of its Las Vegas Valley locations.
In a Monday Instagram post, the company announced that it would be shuttering its restaurant at 4590 S. Hualapai Way after service on June 28.
“Our priority has always been to serve our customers and to take care of our people,” Jay Kaneshiro, Zippy’s chief operations officer, said in a Tuesday statement. “While closing a location is never easy, we remain committed to the Las Vegas community and are grateful for the support we’ve received here.”
The statement also said that the company continues to explore other Las Vegas-area locations, that it is searching for a tenant for the Hualapai store and that all Hualapai employees had accepted positions with other local Zippy’s.
Zippy’s took five years to open its first Las Vegas store, which launched in October 2023, then quickly expanded over the next 2½ ye...

Las Vegas real estate investor Michael Poura purchased the Downtowner hotel and a cluster of nearby properties from the estate of the late Zappos chief Tony Hsieh, according to Clark County property records and Nevada business-entity filings.

- For decades, the standard Las Vegas financial engine ran on neon lights, late-night slot pulls and dimly lit, smoke-filled theaters. In 2026, some of the highest revenue generators on the Strip are operating under the blazing desert sun, where a single poolside cabana during a midday DJ set can command a larger minimum spend than a high-limit blackjack table.
Las Vegas casino resort operators have been capitalizing on this shift with high-energy daylife venues that appeal to younger customers who are increasingly less enthused by standard bars or lounges and traditional gambling but are more than willing to pay top dollar for unique experiences.
The market’s evolution has sparked aggressive investment and lucrative partnerships, while redefining what a Las Vegas casino resort can offer its guests.
This year’s pre-Memorial Day debuts of Omnia Dayclub &Skybar at Caesars Palace and Tailgate Beach Club at Mandalay Bay illustrate how valuable dayti...

- From the original “Oceans Eleven” and “Viva Las Vegas” to “Casino” and “The Hangover,” Las Vegas has long been a captivating backdrop for movies and TV shows such as “CSI: Vegas” and “Pawn Stars.”
“Hacks,” the HBO Max series set in Las Vegas, was one of 337 productions that spent $93.3 million last year in Nevada, according to Film Nevada, a division of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development.
GOED recently hosted a special screening of the season five finale of the critically-acclaimed series — which received a tax credit from Film Nevada — followed by a panel discussion that highlighted the economic impact of the film and television production in the state.
The final season of “Hacks,” which featured two episodes filmed at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, employed more than 1,100 Nevada residents, supported nearly 300 businesses across the state and injected millions of dollars into the Nevada economy, accordi...
