WCW Nitro Grill was an American professional wrestling themed steak house that opened in May 1999 at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. It was built at a cost of $2 million. Professional wrestlers frequented the restaurant when they were touring in Las Vegas.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The restaurant hosted weekly watch parties for WCW Monday Nitro and WCW Thunder as well as occasional autograph signings with members of the WCW roster.[7] It closed in September 2000.[8] The dining room was 16,000 square feet and could seat 350 people.[9] After the Las Vegas location opened, there were tentative plans to open more Nitro Grills across the United States, although none were ever announced.[10]
