Magnificent seventh: HMSHost unveils new Shake Shack at Las Vegas McCarran Airport

USA. HMSHost has opened its seventh airport food & beverage outlet at Las Vegas McCarran International in partnership with Shake Shack, the concept based on the modern-day roadside burger stand.

It will be operated with HMSHost partner MB Concession and is located in Terminal 1 in the Rotunda Area that connects the A and B concourses, with expansive runway views.

Shake Shack was founded in New York in 2001 and is known for its 100% Angus beef burgers and flat-top Vienna beef dogs, 100% cage-free chicken, spun-fresh frozen custard, crinkle cut fries, craft beer and wine.

The restaurant design mixes angular rooflines, reminiscent of the original Madison Square Park location in New York, with a modern desert palm tree motif.
