Wahlburgers at Mandalay Bay Fun Grand Opening Photos – 3/27
Mark Wahlberg, who recently set down roots in Las Vegas with his family, and his brother, Paul Wahlberg, who is the chef behind Wahlburgers at Mandalay Bay, were presented with the Key to the Las Vegas Strip.
The brothers were honored at the grand opening of their newest Wahlburgers at Mandalay Bay within The Shoppes at Mandalay Place. Hundreds of fans gathered outside of the new Wahlburgers, the second in Las Vegas, joining their burger restaurant in the Grand Bazaar Shops at Horseshoe, which opened in 2016.
While doing interviews on the red carpet, Mark joked with Paul that he should be next to move to Las Vegas, pointing out the desirability of the city’s schools, churches, and homes. The brothers then went inside Wahlburgers at Mandalay Bay, where Mark posed in countless selfies before stepping behind the bar to pour shots of his Flecha Azul tequila. He stopped and took photos with all the Wahlburgers’ employees, even heading to the kitchen where he spent more than 30 minutes getting to know the cooks.
The brothers were welcomed by Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft, whose district includes the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, who presented the brothers with the key on the Wahlburgers at Mandalay Bay red carpet, which also honored their brother and other Wahlburgers partner, Donnie Wahlberg. The key honors the expansion of the franchise and the brothers’ contributions to the vitality of the Las Vegas Strip. Other notables whose contributions have been honored with a Key to the Las Vegas Strip include Katy Perry, Tiësto, and Jimmy Kimmel.
