Aquarius

Question

Does anyone have an idea what's going into the corner where Panda Express was? After Panda left, another Chinese fast food place went in but left a short time later.

Answer

As of now, there isn’t a confirmed new tenant for the space where Panda Express used to be at the Aquarius Hotel & Casino in Laughlin. After Panda left, a short-lived Chinese fast food restaurant took over, but it seems that location was unable to maintain a steady business and closed soon after. There hasn’t been an official announcement or update about what will be taking over that space next.

Based on the patterns of past openings in Laughlin, it’s possible the space might be filled with another restaurant or retail store, but there has been no official confirmation as of yet. The Aquarius has been known to rotate different dining options, so it’s likely they are considering various tenants for the space.

For now, if you're in the area and curious, it may be worth checking with the hotel directly or watching for any signs of construction or new announcements. The Laughlin area has seen a variety of restaurant changes over the years, so the corner could be turned into something else to attract guests and improve the dining scene.

Here are some possibilities that could fill the space:

Another fast-casual or chain restaurant, like an American diner or sandwich shop.
A different international or Asian cuisine restaurant to replace Panda Express.
Possibly a dessert or coffee shop given the location’s accessibility.

Stay tuned for updates if you’re interested in what might come next in that corner!
