US-based fast food chain Whataburger is set to expand its footprint in Las Vegas, Nevada by opening its new location on the Las Vegas Strip.

The latest addition of the Whataburger outlet is situated at 3752 S Las Vegas Blvd, marking the brand's entry into its 15th US state.

The new outlet, next to the Waldorf Astoria, is the result of a partnership with franchisee Panda Restaurant Group.

The two-storey restaurant will be co-located with Parry's Pizzeria & Taphouse.

The Las Vegas branch will serve signature Whataburgers, Breakfast On A Bun, Dr Pepper Shakes and a special Vegas Whataburger.

The restaurant will be open round the clock to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner to the residents of the city.

Adjacent to Whataburger, Parry's Pizzeria & Taphouse will serve up NY-style pizza slices, 14 unique signature pies, fresh chicken wings, stromboli, cocktails and 120 draft beers.

The joint venture between Whataburger and Parry's Pizzeria & Taphouse will provide employment opportunities for 300 locals.

Whataburger president and CEO Ed Nelson said: “As the city that never sleeps, and a brand that is open 24/7, it only made sense to bring a Whataburger to the Strip. Whether you're craving a double-meat Whataburger with jalapenos or a savoury Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit, Whataburger has your back with breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“We're excited for both locals and visitors to sink their teeth into a fresh new option and find ways to customise their Whataburgers just the way they like it.”

Panda Restaurant Group operation director Brandon Strickland said: “We are proud to be partnering with such a beloved restaurant brand, Whataburger, marrying our shared commitment to best-in-class operations and delicious, quality menu offerings.

“Our entire team is grateful to serve the Las Vegas community by providing new jobs and supporting local organisations.”
