Las Vegas is a city of convenience, so it’s no surprise we have some of the coolest drive-thru windows on the planet.

👰 The Little White Wedding Chapel pioneered the idea of a drive-thru wedding ceremony, which came about when someone in a wheelchair couldn’t enter through the front door. It’s now a Vegas icon, especially when upgrading to a pink Cadillac with Elvis as your officiant.

😶‍🌫️ By operating on tribal land, NuWu had the first public cannabis consumption lounge in Vegas, as well as the first drive-thru window to sell THC products.

🎥 Snappy’s is a drive-thru burger joint and movie theater in one. Order your food, park, and watch free movies on an outdoor big screen.

🥗 Salad And Go has three locations in the valley with at least two more on the way. The concept turns the idea of fast food upside down with salads, wraps, and other healthy dishes for those on the go.

☕ Who knew coffee could be so … spicy? Bailey’s Brew is a drive-up coffee shack with baristas dressed in bikinis and other barely-there outfits.

🍔 There may be six Shake Shack locations in the Las Vegas Valley, but only one has a drive-thru window — in North Las Vegas.

  • Prefer to eat and fly? There’s a Shack Shack at the Vegas airport too ✈️ [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
