The 24-Hour Las Vegas Norms Diner Is Nearly Open
Norm’s Diner | Norm’s Diner Stacks of hotcakes, tuna melts, and a full bar With its bold Atomic Age style and classic Los Angeles cool factor, Norms, a stalwart diner with more than 20 locations, is expanding outside of California for the first time in the restaurant chain’s 75-year-old history. This November, Norms will open in central Las Vegas with all its eye-catching Googie architecture and an around-the-clock menu of diner staples. Its pennant-shaped marquees, sloping roof, and long glass window make the Norms diner in La Cienega one of Los Angeles’s most iconic buildings. Next month, Norms will debut in Las Vegas at 4605 West Charleston Boulevard, near Decatur, in a remodeled Applebee’s location with many of those retro design elements. Not to be confused with Vegas-born Norman’s Diner, Norms will be open 24 hours a day. Since 1949, the restaurant has served up breakfasts of country-fried steak and eggs, omelets stuffed with sausage and cheese, and stacks of hotcakes laden with sticky syrup and strawberries. Lunch and dinner at Norms means baskets of onion rings, tuna melts with American cheese, cheeseburgers and fries, New York steak and shrimp, and meatloaf with bacon and gravy. And, as is only appropriate for a Vegas diner, it will be the first location with a full liquor license and, eventually, gaming on-site. Like other California chains that have recently expanded to Las Vegas — including Randy’s Donuts — Norms has a pop culture presence, having appeared in and been mentioned in shows like Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, American Horror Story, and Drag Me to Hell. With its entry into the Vegas dining pantheon, weekend brunch stands to get a lot more retro.
