Summerlin is getting the real thing. Abel's Bagels, the southwest valley shop built on Long Island habits, is opening its second Las Vegas location this winter at 9440 W Sahara Ave, Suite 180, Las Vegas, NV 89117.
The brand announced the move on its own website with a short promise: "Bringing our hand-rolled, boiled & baked bagels to Summerlin." Right under it sits the only timing note so far: "Opening soon. Stay tuned!"
What Summerlin Is Actually Getting
This is shop number two, and it runs as a franchise. Founder Nicholas Pace confirmed the opening to What Now Las Vegas, and franchisee Chris Tully will run the new store.
The Summerlin shop also brings in Nook's Organic. Expect fresh-pressed juices, homemade smoothies, and handcrafted acai bowls alongside freshly ground coffee.
The address puts it in the Village Square center at West Sahara Avenue and Fort Apache Road. That is everyday Summerlin territory, built for a morning stop, not a special trip.
Why These Bagels Take Longer to Make
Here is the detail that separates Abel's from a standard bakery case. The dough is made in-house and left to ferment for over 12 hours.
Every bagel is then hand-rolled and boiled before it is baked. Pace grew up on Long Island, where that process is simply how a bagel gets made, and he built the Las Vegas shop around doing it the same way.
That slow process is the fresh insight hiding in this opening. Most bagel counters skip the long ferment and the boil, and the chew is where you taste the difference.
How to Play the Wait
No opening date has been announced yet, and Pace and Tully shared no further details this week. The confirmed window is this winter, so treat any exact date you hear elsewhere as a guess until the brand posts one.
- Taste it now: the original shop at 7150 S Durango Dr, Suite 130, Las Vegas, NV 89113 is open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Watch the source: the brand posted the Summerlin news on its own website first, so that is where the date will land.
- Plan the first visit: go early, because a boiled bagel is a morning food, and opening weeks at a second location draw the neighborhood fast.
One shop in the southwest proved the idea. Shop number two says Summerlin wanted in, and this winter, the boil comes to West Sahara.
