Las Vegas Food Truck Ban?

Food trucks have become a favorite for Las Vegans looking for a gourmet lunch or a late night bite. The popularity of food trucks in Las Vegas has even led to the creation of a monthly festival dedicated to tacos, chicken wings and a plethora of other culinary treats on wheels. But, despite their popularity, some restaurant owners say the trucks are drawing business away from brick-and-mortar establishments. The Las Vegas City Council is weighing whether or not to impose a ban on food trucks operating within a certain distance from existing restaurants. So where do food trucks fit in? We'll explore the debate.
