The two-story restaurant will serve offerings exclusive to Cantina restaurants, including tapas and alcoholic beverages.

As part of its expansion into urban markets, Taco Bell is heading to Las Vegas to open a flagship restaurant on the world famous Strip.

The 24-hour, two-story restaurant is modeled after the chain’s Cantina restaurant concept, which serves alcohol and exclusive tapas-style menu items.

Drink offerings will include beer and Twisted Freezes. It will feature “unique décor, an open kitchen layout, community seating and shareable menu items,” according to a Yum! Brands release.

“Expansion into urban markets is a key focus for us both this year and over the course of the next several years,” said Brian Niccol, chief executive officer at Taco Bell Corp.

“When we talked about where to establish a flagship store, it didn’t take long to realize that having a presence in the heart of Vegas would undoubtedly create a unique, distinctive and fun destination and experience for Taco Bell fans.”
