Since Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis,<\/strong> and Sly Stallone<\/strong> opened Planet Hollywood<\/strong> at Caesars Palace<\/strong> in 2000, dozens of celebrity owners have started restaurants in Las Vegas. This Saturday, Pitbull<\/strong>\u2019s Miami Grill will open in the most wonderfully bizarre location for a celebrity restaurant so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rapper Pitbull endorses a new Florida location of his fast-casual franchise. His endorsement reads: \u201cI am no longer an artist \u2026 I am a business partner.\u201d (Image: Twitter\/X)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Walmart in suburban Henderson, Nev. is just about as far from the Las Vegas Strip as a celebrity restaurant can open. Yet this is where the 43-year-old rapper has chosen to introduce Las Vegas to his fast-casual eatery for burgers, chicken wings, gyros, and cheesesteaks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pitbull, born Armando Christian Perez, became a financial partner in the 40-year-old chain in 2012. He hopes to eventually introduce up to five more Miami Grills to Sin City. The \u201cGive Me Everything\u201d singer was a regular at the franchise’s original Miami location, and even claims to have penned some lyrics at its tables.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miami Grill will be located at the Walmart at 2310 E. Serene Ave. in Henderson. A ribbon-cutting will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, February 23. The public grand opening will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pitbull is not expected to attend either event.<\/span><\/p>\n
