A proposal for an urban food truck lot in Downtown Las Vegas’ Arts District is creating a divide between developers and local businesses.
The lot is in a vacant area on South Casino Center and California Avenue.
“We want to bring the culinary arts to the Arts District by bringing in ten food trucks,” said Noel Casimiro, president and managing partner of the Great American Foodie Fest. “Not only ten food trucks, but ten selective food trucks, ten of the top food trucks here in Las Vegas.”
In December, the planning commission approved the proposal, despite staff recommending against it.
Developers say the variety of food trucks and open-air concept will help drive more people into the area, but businesses are concerned about a lack of sanitation, waste management and how it will look.
