Randy's Donuts

"The 70-year-old Randy’s Donuts found in movies such as Iron Man 2 and Mars Attacks! is finally open in Las Vegas. Visitors to Randy’s Donuts can expect over 60 different varieties of doughnuts, mostly priced under $3, along with Randy’s Rounds — which are like larger doughnut holes." - Janna Karel

"Like any good doughnut shop, the famous LA-based Randy’s is open 24 hours. Which means you can grab a cruller and a coffee before morning classes or load up on sugar and caffeine after dark. Doughnuts here are fluffy and available in dozens of varieties, including vanilla iced cake, chocolate twists, apple fritters, and s’mores doughnuts. Plus, it has a drive-thru." - Janna Karel

"California’s 70-year-old Randy’s Donuts now has a new doughnut shop in Las Vegas. The original location in Inglewood is known in equal parts for its appearances in movies like Iron Man 2 and Mars Attacks!, its 32-foot-tall doughnut sign, and for its hand-made fluffy doughnuts. Like its predecessor, the new location at 2170 S. Rainbow Boulevard has a drive-thru and is slinging sprinkle iced cake, chocolate iced cruller, and maple doughnuts topped with churros 24 hours a day. The doughnut shop is still waiting for its larger-than-life doughnut to be installed. Owner Mark Kelegian says it will arrive in a few months. But for now, a roughly seven-foot-tall doughnut sits in the parking lot in front of the shop, concealed partially on opening day by the line of cars that extends from the drive-thru and snakes down Rainbow Blvd. The small doughnut shop features a glass display case filled with treats glazed with pastel frostings, and one wall decorated with photos of the iconic California shop. Most of the over 60 varieties of doughnuts are priced under $3. More locations of the doughnut shop are planned, including a location on Charleston, near Summerlin, that is planned to open by the end of this year, one at the intersection of Blue Diamond Road and Cameron Street, and another at Hacienda Avenue and Fort Apache Road. “And then we’ve got two surprises coming that I can’t mention yet,” says Kelegian. “But we will, we got to sign the line that’s dotted first.” Kelegian estimates that 13,000 doughnuts pass through the windows of the Inglewood landmark location daily. He credits the hand-made aspect of the doughnuts for the shop’s success. “You know, everyone’s using conveyor belts and automatic machines. And that just doesn’t produce the kind of doughnut that we want to sell,” says Kelegian. “In Inglewood, they come see the largest doughnut in the world. But they come back for the doughnuts.”" - Janna Karel

"Randy’s Donuts, a California doughnut spot known for its towering doughnut marquee, is opening at 2170 S. Rainbow Boulevard near Sahara Avenue on August 16. Visitors can expect over 60 different varieties of doughnuts, mostly priced under $3, along with Randy’s Rounds — which are like larger doughnut holes— and Randy’s Roast coffee. The new doughnut shop will celebrate its first Las Vegas location by sharing a free raised glazed donut with all guests from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. on opening day. The opening is the first of seven planned locations in the Las Vegas Valley. The original location in Inglewood is a famed attraction for its 32-foot-tall doughnut sign mounted on the roof. The upcoming location on Blue Diamond Road has plans to have its own 18-foot replica of the original sign. The upcoming Las Vegas locations will serve doughnut varieties like sprinkle iced cake, chocolate iced cruller, and maple doughnuts topped with churros." - Janna Karel

"The first of three confirmed Randy’s Donuts, the iconic star of film, television, and music videos, plans to open by the end of the year with its landmark symbol of Southern California street architecture and a 24-hour menu of classic glazed doughnuts. First up, the 70-year-old restaurant found in movies such as Iron Man 2 and Mars Attacks! bought an existing drive-thru restaurant at 2170 S. Rainbow Boulevard, formerly a carnitas shop, which should open by December." - Susan Stapleton
