Three new offerings in the Las Vegas Valley feature classic breakfast items 24 hours daily and recognizable Italian and healthy options:
Norms on Charleston
Norms Restaurants, a pioneer of classic American dining born and raised in Southern California, celebrated its grand opening Nov. 9 at 4605 W. Charleston Blvd. with a ribbon cutting and the World’s First Hotcake Eating Championship. This is the 24th outpost for the 24-hour retro-diner concept and the first outside California. Also: The hotcakes at Norms are delicious – pass the maple syrup.
