Health Department Closes Johnny Rockets at Boyd Casino

In other Las Vegas dining news, the Johnny Rockets kiosk located in Aliante Casino’s food court has been temporarily closed by the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD). The closure follows a routine inspection on Thursday, revealing several violations related to food safety.

The SNHD cited issues with improperly cleaned and sanitized food contact surfaces (3 demerits), a lack of adequately stocked and accessible handwashing sinks (3), and the absence of “hot and cold running water from an approved source as required.” This is not the first time this location has faced scrutiny. Previously, it was closed on October 30, 2013.

Despite this recent closure, the Johnny Rockets at Aliante Casino had previously passed all inspections since its opening in 2008. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of strict food safety standards in the hospitality industry. Consider researching food safety regulations if you are involved in the food service business.
