Adding a local touch: Vegas Born joins the Food & Beverage options at Harry Reid International Airport 

Avolta’s global restaurateur HMSHost has opened Vegas Born, a full-service restaurant and bar at Harry Reid International Airport celebrating the legacy of Las Vegas’ first and only locally born major sports franchise, the Vegas Golden Knights.

The 96-seat, approximately 330-square-meter dining venue offers travelers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the excitement and fandom of the championship-winning team. The space exudes team pride in every detail, from the striking, bold façade emblazoned with the team’s gold filagree and the life-size knight armor that welcomes each guest, to the photos, memorabilia, and illuminated mural depicting the team’s 2023 championship victory adorning the walls.

Vegas Born’s game day-style menu has all the fan-favorites to satisfy any traveler during their journey: crispy jumbo wings, truffle cheese fries, soft pretzels, burgers and sandwiches, pizza, salads, and more. For breakfast, travelers can fuel up on hearty dishes like steak and eggs, omelets, and breakfast sandwiches. Vegas Born also has a championship bar menu featuring internationally inspired wines including a selection from Foley Family Wines – the vineyards of Golden Knights founder Bill Foley – and a variety of craft beer, spirits, and specialty cocktails to choose from. The restaurant also offers a Grab & Go area.

Rosemary Vassiliadis, Clark County Director of Aviation, said, “As the gateway to the sports and entertainment capital of the world, we pride ourselves on providing an airport experience reflective of our region. The Golden Knights embody the true spirit of our community, and we are thrilled to provide a piece of what Vegas is all about at Harry Reid International Airport. Whether it’s game day, playoffs, or off-season, guests can still be immersed in Knight time!”

Kerry Bubolz, VGK President & CEO, added, “It’s fitting that Las Vegas’ first major professional team has a home in the hub for travelers to and from the city. We are excited that Golden Knights fans will have a place to celebrate the team at Harry Reid International Airport and visitors can be greeted with one of the pillars of this special community. We thank HMSHost and LAS for helping bring this vision to light and look forward to enjoying a Knight Time Bacon Cheeseburger and a glass of Foley Family Wines in this fantastic space.”

Anthony Alessi, HMSHost Vice President of Business Development, commented, “The Vegas Golden Knights is an iconic team that, since its inception, has attracted hockey fans to Las Vegas from across North America. HMSHost is proud to introduce a piece of that heritage to Harry Reid International Airport. We look forward to welcoming diehard fans to Vegas Born, and even helping to inspire a new generation of fans to support Vegas’ hometown team.

“We are grateful to the Vegas Golden Knights and Clark County Department of Aviation for their partnership as we continue to create memorable moments at LAS through our food and beverage concepts.”

Located near Gate D52, Vegas Born at Harry Reid International Airport is open seven days a week from 5am to midnight. HMSHost operates over 70 restaurants, bars, and Grab & Go dining options at Harry Reid International Airport, including Shake Shack, Chili’s, Starbucks, and Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill.
