"Downtown’s Golden Nugget makes it official; Chick-fil-A opens at the resort on Dec. 2, a fast turnaround for the purveyors of fried chicken sandwiches. The 1,100-square-foot restaurant with seating for 62 diners plans to offers its normal roster of sandwiches, including breakfast versions, strips, salads, and various sides. Chick-fil-A plans to be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Chick-fil-A takes over existing, in-use casino space in the Carson Tower, a short distance from the Nugget’s 24-hour, five-year-old Claim Jumper. Next door, a Starbucks sits behind construction walls." - Susan Stapleton
