Prepare for Landing: Dave’s Hot Chicken Coming to Harry Reid International Airport

Established airport concessions leader JV Ventures will lead this milestone project, spearheaded by Vice President, Leila Day, and JV’s Director of Airport Operations Mark Palmore. JV Ventures’ portfolio includes several well-known brands inside Harry Reid’s key locations, including Auntie Anne’s, Chili’s, Wolfgang Puck, Starbucks, and Dunkin’, all in partnership with HMS Host. The new Dave’s Hot Chicken location will be their latest addition, continuing a family legacy that began 28 years ago.

“The airport was looking for something different and unique, and I knew Dave’s Hot Chicken was the perfect fit with its simple yet flavorful menu that turns guests into fans every time,” said Day. “This concept is not only fun but also delivers on taste, and we’re thrilled to bring its vibrant experience to individuals passing through Las Vegas. It's exciting to be a part of something that feels innovative and fresh, and I’m confident that our team, many of whom have been with us for over a decade, will make this a success.”

Dave’s Hot Chicken has captured the hearts and taste buds of guests with its crave-worthy menu. Specializing in Nashville-style hot chicken tenders and sliders, with spice levels ranging from “No Spice” to “Reaper,” each restaurant also serves sides of house-made Kale Slaw, creamy Mac & Cheese and crispy, seasoned Fries or Cheese Fries.

“We saw Harry Reid International Airport as a natural fit,” said Carolyne Canady, CDO of Dave’s Hot Chicken. “Leila’s background in airport dining and her dedication to delivering new energy makes her the perfect partner.”
