A nondescript vacant lot in the Las Vegas Arts District has sparked a high-profile fight over whether it’s a good location for a food truck park.
Las Vegas City Council is expected to hear this week a proposal to allow several food trucks to set up shop at 1208 S. Casino Center Blvd., just south of Charleston Boulevard.
Proponents say the trucks would bring additional dining options to the south downtown area marked by art studios, nightlife, and kitsch.
Longtime food and beverage executive Noel Casimiro, part of the management team for the proposed food truck park, said it would host between eight and 10 trucks, with some top vendors from outside of Las Vegas rotating in and out throughout the year.
