In a city filled with options, how does one choose what to do, where to eat, and how to spend their time when visiting Las Vegas? For some, choosing a familiar name helps that decision along. Good thing there are plenty of celeb owned businesses in Sin City! 

The Vegas Files takes you on a journey to some celebrity owned establishments that should be on anyone’s list of places to go if you’re in search of a memorable experience. While there are many to choose from, we’ve compiled a short list to get your adventure started. 

Let’s Taco-About Mark Wahlberg’s Flecha Cantina

If you love Mexican food, Flecha Cantina in Town Square on the south end of the Strip is the place to be for an authentic experience. Oh, and you may just run into actor Mark Wahlberg since he’s the owner. 

When you walk in, you’re greeted with a complimentary margarita sample. Off to the right side of the hostess stand, you’ll find a Ted stuffed animal in a case (from Wahlberg’s hit movie “Ted”). There are photos of Wahlberg sprinkled around the restaurant too, just in case you forget he owns it. 

The menu is filled with authentic Mexican options such as tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, nachos, and more. The salsa and guacamole are to die for! The salsa is so good, you could literally drink it.

Swing Like Tiger Woods at PopStroke

Conveniently located in the same parking lot as Flecha, PopStroke gives you something fun to do to burn some calories after a delicious meal. 

The popular minigolf spot by Tiger Woods offers two outdoor 18-hole courses, a full-service restaurant, outdoor gaming, kids’ playground, and an ice cream parlor. 

According to the website, “Catch the game with a craft beer or cocktail, or use our mobile app for direct-to-course delivery so you never miss a moment of the action.”
