WCW Nitro Grill was an American professional wrestling themed steak house owned by World Championship Wrestling 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 just six months before most of WCW's holdings were sold to the World Wrestling Federation in 2001.[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]
