New 24 hour spot for Las Vegas locals

NORMS has been around since 1949 and has always been about affordable, good food and a friendly environment. Expanding to Las Vegas is a big deal for the brand as this is its first location outside of California. With its Las Vegas debut on Saturday, November 9th, 2024, NORMS now has 24 locations and this new spot will be the late night or early morning comfort food destination.

This new Vegas location is also deepening NORMS’ roots by partnering with the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce and several city officials for the grand opening. Clearly the diner is making a big entrance!

Hotcake eating championship – A world first

For the grand opening NORMS went big with a world first: the Hotcake Eating Championship. This pancake eating contest added some fun and excitement to the day and drew a crowd of pancake enthusiasts and competitive eaters. Picture stacks of golden pancakes piled high, ready for eager contestants to devour – this was one breakfast no one will ever forget!

Why Vegas?

Vegas is already a city that never sleeps so it’s the perfect fit for NORMS 24/7 model. Whether you’re a night owl, early bird or just someone who wants classic diner food in the middle of the day, NORMS has you covered. And its location is in the perfect spot for both locals and tourists looking for a break from the Strip.

What to expect at NORMS Las Vegas

NORMS is all about classic American comfort food with big portions and a little nostalgia. Here’s a sneak peek at the menu:

  • The Big Breakfast: eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and a side of fluffy pancakes – anytime of day.
  • Steak and Eggs: a diner classic we’ve been perfecting for over 70 years.
  • Mile-High Burgers: stacked with toppings and juicy patties.
