Heart Attack Grill Shuts Downtown Las Vegas Location After 15 Years

Rising prices pushed the exit, the owner says.

Overview

  • Heart Attack Grill closed its Fremont Street restaurant for good, with the landlord and owner confirming the shutdown and the lease will not be renewed.
  • The restaurant’s website blamed high prices in Las Vegas casinos, corporate greed, and the exclusion of middle‑class customers for the decision.
  • Neonopolis owner Rohit Joshi cited weak tourism, low hotel occupancy, and slow foot traffic downtown that have left some tenants struggling for months.
  • Owner Jon Basso said the site is already closed permanently and that he is seeking investors and a new location for the brand.
  • The hospital‑themed eatery became famous for oversize “bypass” burgers and free meals for customers over 350 pounds, and it drew repeated criticism from health advocates after medical incidents tied to the brand.
