This is sure to get a lot of people talking. During his playing days, no running backs were better than the one and only Emmitt Smith. He was a superstar for Dallas, and he made his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Now, Smith is ready for a new adventure. That’s right, Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith is opening a new Las Vegas restaurant and people can’t wait to pay it a visit.
While an exact date is yet to be announced for the grand opening, you better believe that this is massive news for Sin City. Smith is known as one of the best running backs of all time. This would be like if Michael Jordan or LeBron James decided to open a new restaurant for people to enjoy when they travel to Las Vegas. Smith is ecstatic about this new project; you better believe that.
“I like to have a good experience,” Smith said via the Las Vegas Sun on the future opening of his brand new restaurant. “When you go through the ranks of life and have an opportunity to go to some of the finer places in the world and fine dining, you appreciate it. This right here allows us to touch various people in a very dynamic city.”
Again, the official opening for the new restaurant, which will be named Emmitt’s Las Vegas, hasn’t been announced. However, there’s already a ton of buzz, and people look forward to the day when the doors finally open. This is yet another prime example of exciting additions that are making their way to Las Vegas. Business is booming once again in the area.
What’s great about this new venture for the Hall-of-Famer is that Emmitt’s Las Vegas will be in a prime location when it arrives for business. Construction and the design have been underway for a while, with Emmitt’s set to open on the Las Vegas strip. Not only that but Emmitt’s Las Vegas will be located right across the street from The Wynn, which includes the reliable Wynn sportsbook, on the Las Vegas Boulevard.
That’s a prime spot and will receive a ton of foot traffic. With Smith being such a popular sports figure, too, this will surely bring plenty of people in the football world to his restaurant, especially since he’s a Cowboys great. With the Cowboys, people are constantly checking their NFL betting odds right now, and the excitement is high for the squad now that Dak Prescott is healthy.
Not only that, but Cowboys supporters are also eyeing the Super Bowl betting odds for this team. While Smith’s new restaurant won’t feature a sportsbook, people will obviously love to follow the NFL action while they’re eating at Emmitt’s Las Vegas as well. Smith will be ready to welcome people from all over the world to his location. He’s smiling from ear to ear about the potential.
“When you think about Vegas and all the different casinos and the success of some of the restaurants in all of these casinos, and in the influx of people coming from around the world, it made good sense to give it a shot,” Smith said on why he decided to enter the restaurant business in Sin City.
The question on everyone’s mind is when will Emmitt’s Las Vegas end up opening. That’s a great question, and we don’t have an exact date for you, but Smith has said that the hope is that the restaurant will be able to get going for people to enjoy by late March. This would be an opening leading up to the spring months, which would be fantastic for him.
Though the winter months are a bit down when it comes to Las Vegas tourism, the spring is great. With baseball season starting in early April, people will rush to check the MLB betting odds. Though Smith isn’t a huge figure in the MLB world, his restaurant will draw plenty of people who will want to watch some baseball games of their favorite squads.
That’s what makes Vegas so fascinating as a whole. Imagine being able to eat at the restaurants of one of the best football players ever, watch a game, then make your way to the other attraction that Sin City has to offer. That’s pretty great. Smith is a fan of the fast-paced environment, which is another reason he knew adding his own restaurant in the area would be a great business move.
We’ll be waiting patiently for the official announcement, but there’s plenty of buzzes already on Smith’s restaurant making its way to the strip. There are likely going to be a lot of celebrities at the grand opening to show support for the ex-running back. This will surely be a night and event that people are going to remember for a long time.
