Pink’s Las Vegas 2012

The original Pink’s is a 73 year old Hollywood icon. The Pink family still runs the joint and they plan to bring their hot dog style to the rest of Hot Dog Nation. The first new store opened in Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip nearly in 2009. Since then, they have opened another location in Ohio and have plans for many more throughout the USA.

While attending Affiliate Summit West 2012, a friend and I stopped in for lunch. Check out the video of our visit to Pink’s.
