“As the first-ever Ojos gaming experience in Las Vegas, we are delighted to see thousands of guests from the Latino community already flocking to the cantina and casino,” added Laura Caudillo, vice president of growth, Ojos Locos Sports Cantina. “This is just the beginning of the Ojos Locos dining, entertainment and nightlife excitement in Las Vegas.”
