As expected, the line was out the door on opening day of the first Las Vegas home for Wahlburgers, with the Wahlberg family star power propelling the casual burger restaurant into a summer hit.

Fronted by chef Paul Wahlberg and his actor and musician brothers Donnie and Mark Wahlberg, the ninth expansion for the ambitious chain sits at the rear of the Grand Bazaar Shops in front of the Bally’s casino and below another celebrity project, the future home of Redneck Riviera, a "honky-tonk bar" from country music star John Rich, of Big & Rich fame.

On the broad menu imported from their Hingham, Massachusetts, home base, the burger creations of chef Paul and namesake nods to his family, including "Alma's Classic Macaroni," a tribute to his mother. Alongside burgers and sandwiches, guests have options like chili, mac 'n' cheese, salads and frappes, their version of a milkshake. There is also a "Smahlburgs" menu just for kids.

Current opening hours are Sunday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m.
