Mark Wahlberg’s New Mexican Restaurant Catches Fire Night Before Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Mark Wahlberg’s new Las Vegas restaurant, Flecha Cantina, faced a large fire on its patio on Wednesday, which was attributed to a defective fire pit. Fortunately, the blaze was promptly extinguished by the fire crew, with no interior damage to the restaurant and no injuries reported. The incident occurred on the eve of a scheduled ribbon-cutting ceremony, but the event went on as planned yesterday. Despite the setback, the restaurant reopened the same evening after the fire sprinkler system was recharged. Flecha Cantina offers a mix of traditional Mexican flavors with innovative twists and follows the success of Wahlberg’s previous establishment in California. (People)
