The closure of one Mexican food stand on the bustling Las Vegas Strip doesn’t add up to, well, a hill of beans in this world. Or at least it shouldn’t.

That is, unless it’s the popular and peculiar Tacos El Cabron at Resorts World Las Vegas.

This past week, the Strip’s social media railbirds chirped about the closure, once again calling to mind its intriguing ownership and connection with controversies at Resorts World that have caught the attention of Gaming Control Board regulators. By Thursday, gambling publications and the Nevada Current had weighed in. The walk-up taco stand has been closed for more than a week, a source confirms.
