The location at Red Rock, which opened in April 2006, was the first Salt Lick away from Texas. The closing of Salt Lick ends the Austin, Texas restaurant’s Las Vegas experiment. Industry publications, including Nation’s Restaurant News and Cheers Magazine, have lauded Yard House as having the “Best Beer List.” Yard House will also feature exterior patio seating adjacent to the existing water fountain pools located on the Charleston Boulevard side of Red Rock Resort. The glass-enclosed keg room at the Red Rock restaurant, which houses as many as 600 kegs and some 1,000 gallons of beer at any given time, will be custom designed to allow restaurant guests to walk through the area. Yard House serves American fusion food and has 130 taps of beer.

“The Las Vegas market has been extremely successful for us and having two restaurants on different sides of town will better serve the community.”

“We have been looking to open another location in Las Vegas, and Red Rock was at the top of our list,” said Harald Herrmann, the restaurant chain’s chief executive officer. The restaurant made its Las Vegas debut in 2008 at Town Square Las Vegas. Yard House, a Southern California-based restaurant chain, will open its second Las Vegas location this spring, taking over space inside the Red Rock Resort from the now-closed Salt Lick.
