Golden Knights owner Bill Foley’s business dealings span the globe. For example, he owns or has interests in soccer teams from England to France to New Zealand.

He even launched a VGK worldwide fan club after the NHL Vegas franchise was born in 2017.

Foley’s latest business endeavor is closer to his Las Vegas home — but with a travel twist.

Foley is opening a Golden Knights-theme restaurant at Harry Reid International Airport next month called, “Vegas Born Bar & Grill.”

A joyful Bill Foley after the VGK won the Stanley Cup at T-Mobile Arena in June 2023.

The eatery concept is hardly a jump for Foley, who also owns restaurants like MacKenzie River Pizza Co. and Craggy Sports Bar and Grill at his ice rink and venue facilities here in metro Las Vegas.

The airport’s food/bev concessionaire, HMSHost, will join Golden Knights and airport staffers for a ribbon-cutting at the airport terminal Wednesday, Sept. 4.
