The Plaza Hotel and Casino announced today that it is adding Hash House A Go Go to its lineup of restaurants when it reopens at the end of the summer.
The downtown property will be the restaurant’s fourth location. Hash House A Go Go also has locations at Imperial Palace, M Resort, and at Sahara Avenue and Rainbow Boulevard. The restaurant, which brands its cuisine as “twisted farm food,” will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
A release from the Plaza said the restaurant is expected to open by Sept. 1, which is when the property will reopen to hotel guests.
The addition of Hash House A Go Go is part of the Plaza’s $35 million renovation project, which includes improvements to hotel rooms, the casino floor, bars and restaurants. The Plaza’s rooms have been refurbished with new wall coverings, furnishings, floors and fixtures, all purchased at a discounted price from the halted Fontainebleau project on the Strip.
Prior to its grand reopening, the Plaza will host a soft opening on Aug. 24 for its casino.
On a tour of the renovations last month, Tony Santo, CEO of PlayLV, said the property would be adding several food and beverage offerings but wouldn’t give details on what they would be.
The Plaza will be reopening without the popular tapas restaurant Firefly, which was located in the glass dome overlooking Fremont Street.
The Plaza, renovated in 2011, has a lobby that features marble and inlaid mosaic tiles, chandeliers and a plush front desk that matches the classic Las Vegas feel with a contemporary look.
The hotel has 1,003 rooms and suites that showcase views of the Las Vegas Strip and downtown Las Vegas. Amenities include world-class entertainment, a casino floor that offers an array of classic gaming choice, which include 600 slot machines, a 400-seat bingo room, 18 table games and 57,120 square feet of casino space.
Among the dining options is Oscar's Beef * Booze * Broads, a steakhouse opened by former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman, which is located in the glittery dome enclosure above the hotel's main entrance.
The Plaza sits at the west end of the Fremont Street Experience on the site of the first train depot and auction site in Las Vegas, dating back to the San Pedro-Los Angeles-Salt Lake Railroad in 1905. The railroad was sold to Union Pacific in 1921 and the depot was demolished in 1970 to make way for the Union Plaza Hotel, built in 1971.
The hotel has been featured or is visible in several movies, including the 1971 James Bond film, "Diamonds are Forever;" the 1989 film "Back to the Future Part II;" the 1995 move "Casino," and the 2000 movie "Pay it Forward."
