Restaurant Equipment and Supply for Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas
Las Vegas has cooked for crowds since the 1940s. The El Rancho Vegas opened as the first resort on the Strip in 1941 and is generally credited with the all-you-can-eat buffet, the Golden Gate has stood on Fremont Street since 1906, and every June, Three Square Food Bank's Las Vegas Restaurant Week puts prix fixe menus on tables across the valley.
Off the Strip, Chinatown on Spring Mountain Road has grown around Chinatown Plaza since 1995. Henderson, Nevada's second-largest city, started with a wartime magnesium plant in 1941 and now makes chocolate and pours local spirits and craft beer, and North Las Vegas, its own city since 1946, keeps its homestead roots at Kiel Ranch Historic Park.
Since 2015, The Restaurant Warehouse has shipped to thousands of commercial kitchens in every state. Las Vegas Valley orders ship from our Brea warehouse, so Las Vegas-area restaurants get the same low prices and freight delivery right to Las Vegas, the Strip, Spring Valley, Henderson, and North Las Vegas. The most common orders here are reach-in refrigerators, freezers, ice machines, fryers, bar refrigeration, and food truck equipment.
The Las Vegas Buffet and the Fremont Street Shrimp Cocktail
The El Rancho Vegas opened in 1941 across from today's Sahara, and Clark County says it debuted the all-you-can-eat "Chuck Wagon" buffet in 1946. Who came up with the idea is still argued: Clark County names promoter Herb McDonald, and Las Vegas Advisor names owner Beldon Katleman and his $1 "Buckaroo Buffet." Downtown, the Golden Gate opened as the Hotel Nevada on January 13, 1906. In 1959 owner Italo Ghelfi brought the shrimp cocktail over from San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf and sold it for 50 cents. The Golden Gate stopped serving it in 2019, and Derek Stevens revived it at Circa in 2020.
Buffet lines and seafood bars need ice machines that keep up with crushed-ice displays, two-door reach-in refrigerators and freezers for bulk proteins, countertop display cases for desserts, and ranges and ovens for the hot line.
Old-School Steakhouses, Lotus of Siam and Chinatown
The valley's oldest restaurants still running, according to Las Vegas Advisor's 2025 list, include Bob Taylor's Original Ranch House (1955), the Golden Steer (which dates itself to 1958, though other records say 1962), Top of Binion's (1965), the Peppermill, which opened on the Strip on December 26, 1972, Hugo's Cellar (1976), and Piero's (1982). Lotus of Siam has served Northern Thai food since 1999 under founding chef Saipin Chutima, a James Beard Award winner, and in 2026 it went back to its original Commercial Center space on East Sahara. West of the Strip in unincorporated Clark County, Chinatown Plaza opened in 1995, anchored by 99 Ranch Market, and the plaza's restaurants serve Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean BBQ, Vietnamese, Thai, and soup dumplings. City Cast Las Vegas calls Chinatown one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in Las Vegas.
Steakhouses run on charbroilers and chef bases, Thai and noodle kitchens need fryers, griddles and undercounter refrigeration at every station, and Korean BBQ and seafood spots need reach-in refrigerators and work tables for marinated meats and whole fish.
Henderson's Ethel M Chocolates and Artisan Booze District
Forrest Mars Sr. named Ethel M Chocolates for his mother, Ethel Mars, and opened its Henderson factory in March 1981. The 3-acre cactus garden next door, with more than 300 species, has been strung with holiday lights each holiday season since 1994. Across town, the Henderson Artisan Booze District in the Eastgate Road industrial park began when Las Vegas Distillery opened in 2011. CraftHaus Brewery followed in 2014 and has since added an Arts District taproom, Neon Desert Brewing is the newest brewpub, and Las Vegas Distillery reopened in 2024 making vodka, gin, rum, and bourbon.
Taprooms and tasting rooms need draft beer coolers, back-bar coolers, and glass merchandisers, and chocolate and dessert shops need countertop display cases that hold product cool through a desert summer.
Restaurant Supply Store in Las Vegas
We ship straight to your Las Vegas restaurant. Most Las Vegas Valley orders arrive in 1 to 2 business days from our Brea warehouse, with free freight and free lift gate service. Heat is the big local factor. Las Vegas hit 120 degrees at Harry Reid International Airport on July 7, 2024, the hottest day on record, according to the National Weather Service, and refrigeration and ice machines in a hot kitchen work hardest in July and August. The Southern Nevada Health District grades kitchens A, B, or C on demerits: 0 to 10 earns an A, and 41 or more can mean closure. Most Las Vegas calls are for a fast replacement, like a reach-in refrigerator that quit before a holiday weekend or an ice machine that can't keep up in summer, or for a full equipment package for a new restaurant, bar, or taco truck. Tell us what you are cooking and how much space you have, and we will help you size the line.
