Early birds in North Las Vegas may be trading sleep for sandwiches on Friday, June 26, when a brand-new McDonald's fires up the grills at 2785 W. Cheyenne Ave. Doors open at 5 a.m., with a ribbon-cutting set for 10 a.m., and the grand-opening bash is doubling as a community event with a public raffle, family friendly prizes and an early-bird voucher giveaway that promises free sandwiches to some very committed line-waiters. The owners say the celebration will also support local charities throughout the festivities.
The restaurant is owned and operated by local franchisees Michael and Samantha Kiel, and it marks the pair's seventh McDonald's in the Las Vegas Valley, the owners told FOX5. According to the Kiels, the opening will create about 80 new jobs, and the site features a modern layout with updated technology. During Friday's event, they also plan to present a check to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Las Vegas.
McDonald's own online restaurant directory lists the new location at 2785 W. Cheyenne Ave., placing it among the company's North Las Vegas entries with posted local hours and hiring information. Per McDonald's, the listing follows the company's standard store profile for the area.
Giveaway details and schedule
The hook for die-hard fans is the giveaway for the first 100 guests in line starting at 5 a.m. Each of those early arrivals will receive a voucher redeemable for one free Big Mac or one free Egg McMuffin every week for a year. The grand-opening celebration runs from 5 a.m. to noon, with the ribbon-cutting at 10 a.m. and a public raffle scheduled to kick off after the ceremony. Prizes include a big-screen TV, children's bicycles with helmets, kick scooters and sports equipment, according to FOX5.
Permits and local background
Clark County records show a dust-control permit connected to the address, confirming the permitting and construction work at the West Cheyenne site. County documents from April 2026 list an entry for "McDONALD'S 27-0448" at 2785 W. Cheyenne Ave., indicating the buildout was tracked by county environmental staff. The Kiels' history with the brand in the valley goes back years, with earlier coverage noting they have operated McDonald's locations in the region, as reported by VegasInc.
North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown is expected to attend the ribbon-cutting, and the owners say proceeds and donations from the event will benefit local families served by Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Las Vegas. Doors open at 5 a.m. Friday, and anyone aiming for those weekly free Big Macs or Egg McMuffins should expect crowds and plan their line strategy accordingly.
