- Iconic Las Vegas burger joint closes its doors, blames rising costs for city's decline
The Heart Attack Grill, a Las Vegas restaurant known for its calorie-loaded burgers and hospital-themed servers, has closed its doors due to rising costs and blamed major casinos and corporate greed for pricing average Americans out of the city's affordable indulgences. The restaurant was founded by Jon Basso in 2005 and had been a part of downtown Las Vegas since 2011. It will seek new opportunities to continue its high-calorie mission.
