Las Vegas diners now have a Bojangles with a full-service bar and live-music stage, the chain's first location to sell alcohol. The restaurant opened on the Strip on October 7, 2026, and is run by the chain's Las Vegas franchisee.
Why it matters
The opening marks a shift for a fast-food chain known for breakfast and chicken, now serving drinks and entertainment in a resort-corridor setting. LV Petroleum's plans for about 20 more locations would bring the brand deeper into the valley's dining scene.
Bojangles operates 890 restaurants across 24 states and opened 43 nationwide in 2025, according to figures in the company's reporting. LV Petroleum has about 20 more Las Vegas-area locations in the works, though no timeline for those openings was provided.

The Las Vegas Strip location opened on October 7, 2026.
Beyond the Strip
Bojangles, founded in Charlotte in 1977, has long been known for breakfast and fried chicken rather than nightlife. This first alcohol-serving location departs from that model and places the brand inside the Strip's entertainment corridor.
If you live or work near the Strip, the new Bojangles offers breakfast until 2 p.m. daily plus a full bar and live music, a different option from the chain's usual drive-thru format. Weekday commuters heading to the corridor may find it a convenient stop.
The takeaway
The Strip Bojangles is the chain's first location to sell alcohol, so it is worth checking out if you want something beyond standard fast food. Watch for announcements from LV Petroleum on where and when the roughly 20 planned valley locations will open.
