I think we can all agree that it is bigger than any McDonald’s should be. I, too, am completely amazed that anybody would go to McDonald’s in Las Vegas.

Looking forward to a trip next week. Going to ride in my private monorail car and see if I can be the first one to get kicked out of Encore for either puking on a craps table or trying to solicit Steve Wynn, depending on my mood (or his!). I’d plan to offer comments to augment your Encore review, but I’m sure it was spot on.

No. Definitely NOT the biggest MickeyDees by any stretch, but a fine one nonetheless, judging from the video. I’d be interested as to how well it does being all isolated in that area what with Echelon staying on pause.

It would be interesting to see what kind of riff raff you could find there at 4am in the morning.

BTW, Rex…while we enjoy all your videos and appreciate it, there’s too much “movement” on your part while video taping me thinks.

Let the people to the moving in front off the lens. Try to keep the camera steady and limit panning around so fast. It gives the viewer a headache. I suspect you were moving the camera this way and that so fast because you didn’t want to make your subjects uncomfortable?

Anyways, take it as constructive criticism.

While standing in line for the Grand Opening yesterday, I asked why this particular opening was such a big deal, and why the line stretched around the building.

Two separate suits, and even a non-employed patron in line informed me “This is the largest McDonald’s in the World”.

To be perfectly honest, that was the end of my “research”. I simply wanted to see the place, document it for other people to see, and get out.

Maybe it was marketing hype or they defined “largest” by revenue, or some other metric.

It was the first and (probably) last time I will be in a McDonald’s in the 21st century.

If it’s not the World’s Largest (by whatever definition used), then I stand corrected.

It’s the largest one in size that I have personally been in, but like I said … I don’t go very often.

Dude – this is nowhere near the World’s Biggest McDonald’s. The biggest in Nevada, sure, but seriously — check your sources! There are many McDonald’s out there that are multiples the size of this one. Check out China, for example.

Looks Cool. They should keep the old sign though. The new one seems like it has a plastic LED look to it. Give me real neon and Blinking lights any day.

Having just recently watched “Super-Size Me”, this kind of turns my stomach…. Though I guess it is a great alternative to the CC buffet.

And I can see Slots O Fun giving “comps” for there
