Levy Restaurants’ Sports Empire In Las Vegas Market Grows With Addition Of New Henderson Arena
By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com
When it comes to supplying food and drinks at Las Vegas’ growing number of sports venues, Chicago-based Levy Restaurants keeps on chugging along.
First, Levy scored the hat trick when it added the Las Vegas Aviators’ ballpark in Summerlin to its Las Vegas line-up of venues that included Las Vegas Motor Speedway and T-Mobile Arena. Then it became the grand slam when the Raiders chose Levy as the food/beverage vendor at Allegiant Stadium.
Now, there’s news that Levy Restaurants has added the new $84 million, 6,000-seat arena called Dollar Loan Center in Henderson to the Las Vegas market portfolio that already included the Speedway, T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas Ballpark and Raiders football stadium.
The Dollar Loan Center arena is being built at the site of the old Henderson Pavilion. The city of Henderson and Golden Knights majority owner Bill Foley are each paying $42 million toward building the venue at 200 S. Green Valley Parkway.
Foley and the city also collaborated on the two-rink ice center called Lifeguard Arena in downtown Henderson, which is about seven miles from the new 6,000-seat venue that will house the Henderson Silver Knights minor league hockey team and a new expansion indoor football league team. .
The Levy reputation was built on creating fine dining experiences in sports venues. Levy competes against companies like Centerplate and Aramark. Foley also owns restaurants, so don’t be surprised if one of Foley’s brands has a presence in Dollar Loan Center in Henderson.
