The Strip is getting another big celebrity-backed restaurant later this year.

Grand Bazaar Shops, the outdoor shopping area in front of Bally’s that opened this year, announced today that a Wahlburgers restaurant will open there in “late 2015.”

Wahlburgers, founded by the chef Paul Wahlberg and his celebrity brothers Mark and Donnie, started near Boston. In Las Vegas, Wahlburgers is planning a 5,000 square-foot restaurant, bar and retail store “right in the middle of all the action” next to Starbucks at Grand Bazaar Shops.

Wahlburgers is currently the subject of a reality television show on A&E. Juno Property Group chairman Larry Siegel evoked that in the statement announcing the new location, promising that the restaurant at Grand Bazaar Shops “will become a stage for one of the hottest shows on television.”

The restaurant will feature a walk-up window, a 600-square foot patio and an interior adorned with “stylish decor” reflecting the Wahlberg brothers’ life journeys, according to the statement. The retail shop will be located on the Strip sidewalk and will sell branded merchandise such as T-shirts and shot glasses.

The statement did not specify an exact opening date.
