  4. West Hollywood’s Mexican Restaurant Toca Madera Heads to the Las Vegas Strip High-energy fine dining and a speakeasy replaces the former Todd English P.U.B. at Crystals (Eater Vegas): Promising “an unmatched sensory experience,” Los Angles hospitality group Noble 33 plans a spring debut for its first foray to the Las Vegas Strip, importing a speakeasy, live theatrics, and a menu inspired by traditional Mexican cuisine. Toca Madera will move into the former home of Todd English P.U.B., known simply as the The Pub since the celebrity chef’s departure in 2017, at the Shops at Crystals with its entrance next to Aria. Noble 33’s Tosh Berman and Mikey Tanha already operate Toca Madera in Scottsdale, Arizona, and a six-year-old West Hollywood location. In Hollywood, the restaurant serves a 40-ounce Toca tomahawk, taco el padrino with Japanese A5 wagyu, and branzino zarandeado, as well as a weekend brunch with a mushroom truffle frittata and tres leches French toast. Other specialties include a raw bar and proteins served with lava stones for cooking at the table. Tanha revealed to Nation’s Restaurant News that the Las Vegas expansion will become the brand’s flagship, featuring a lounge connected to the main dining room, an open kitchen, and a hidden speakeasy. As a preview of the high-energy environment, future diners can tune-in to the venue’s soundtrack mixes on Soundcloud, but will need to visit in person to encounter fire-breathers, dancers, and musicians comprising part of the live entertainment. The Pub closed earlier this month with an outdoor patio space that sits a very short distance from the recently reopened Julian Serrano Tapas and fellow upbeat restaurant Catch. While paperwork for the construction overhaul has yet to be uncovered, an estimated budget of $150,000 has been allocated to demolish the 7,600-square-foot interior. https://vegas.eater.com/2021/8/30/22647201/toca-madera-todd-english-p-u-b-opening-strip-restaurant-crystals

  6. Eight Restaurants and Bars Still on Their Way to Resorts World This Fall and Winter (Eater Vegas): Bar Zazu, Carversteak, Eight Lounge, Zouk Nightclub, and more will open at the new resort this year Resorts World opened on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, and it still has so much more on the way. Already diners are finding their way to chef Nicole Brisson’s Italian restaurant Brezza, chef Ray Garcia’s Mexican ¡Viva!, and Famous Foods Street Eats with its bevy of stalls that primarily focus on Asian cuisine. Beginning this fall, a number of new dining and drinking outlets start to open, mainly on the resort’s 70,000-square-foot shopping esplanade dubbed the District that runs along Las Vegas Boulevard. Here, a look at what’s to come. Bar Zazu Estimated Opening: Opens this fall. The second restaurant from chef Nicole Brisson, who opened Brezza at the resort, offers a European café serving hot and cold tapas, cheese and charcuterie, and sweet and savory pastries. The 140-seat restaurant next to Brezza promises wines from around the world served by the glass, bottle, and flights, along with European beers and cocktails. Eight Lounge Estimated Opening: Opens this winter. John Pettei and Clique Hospitality bring the cigar bar Eight Lounge, which plans to offer more than 150 cigars, showcased in a custom-built walk-in humidor. Eight Lounge specializes in limited-edition cigars for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to smoke these rare puros. The lounge incorporates the number eight throughout the venue, even dividing the space into eight rooms with deep tufted couches and dark wood trimming for a masculine touch. A bar-length chandelier and subtle pops of color give a feminine feel for balance. A filtration system refreshes air every four minutes to keep air clean, fresh, and constantly flowing. The cigar bar also plans to have a 2,300-square-foot outdoor patio overlooking the Strip with a fireplace and a misting and heating trellis. Carversteak Estimated Opening: December Carver Road Hospitality, the new hospitality company from nightlife impressario Sean Christie, plans to open Carversteak at the resort in December. The 14,500-square-foot restaurant stakes a claim as the city’s largest steakhouse and the resort’s only steak-focused restaurant. The steakhouse specializes in thick dry-aged American cuts, global artisan beef producers, and Japanese-certified wagyu cuts. Two private dining rooms — dubbed The Knife Shop and Scotch Room — a 70-foot honed quartzite stone bar, and 3,500-square-foot terrace complete with a bar, dining, and lounge gardens overlooking the Las Vegas Strip make up the desert landscape space. Carversteak already tapped Daniel Ontiveros, the former executive chef at Scotch 80 Prime at the Palms and T-Bones Chophouse at Red Rock Resort, as the executive chef and Gianni Toffanello, the former general manager of Cut by Wolfgang Puck at the Palazzo, as the general manager. Caviar Bar Estimated Opening: Opens this winter. Caviar Bar from chef Shaun Hergatt plans to open on the north end of the District with caviar and cocktails. Diners can order Russian Osetra, beluga, Kaluga gold, and more, or turn to the warm section of the tight menu for savory baby waffles with crème fraiche and caviar, smoked salmon lavoche and caviar, sea urchin with bonito gelee and caviar, and other caviar-centric dishes. Zouk Nightclub Estimated Opening: September 17 The highly anticipated nightclub opens on Friday, September 17, with Tiësto on the decks. The 26,060-square-foot Zouk will become the Las Vegas resort’s nightlife focal point, building on its almost three-decade dominance as a state-of-the-art destination in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Malaysia. The club offers the Capital Bar and Empire, which can operate as an addition to the main club or separate venues on specific nights and seasons. Zouk, with room for 2,160, plans to be open Thursday through Saturday from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Mulberry Street Pizza Richie Palmer’s Mulberry Street Pizzeria of Beverly Hills, which originally opened in 1991, serves pizzas about as thick as a piece of paper by the slice and in pies with specialty toppings such as chicken ranch, eggplant Parmesan, and rigatoni. Tacos El Cabron San Diego’s Tacos El Cabron, which opened across from UNLV and has a second location in the works at the intersection of Decatur Boulevard and Meadows Lane, plans to serve Tijuana-inspired Mexican cuisine such as street tacos, elote, burritos, bowls, and specialty dishes such as birria. Tiger Sugar Announced as an original tenant for Resorts World’s Famous Foods Street Eats, Tiger Sugar is officially listed as coming soon to the globally inspired food hall. The creamy drinks will be served from a prefabricated food cart. https://vegas.eater.com/2021/8/25/22639989/restaurants-bars-opening-soon-resorts-world-fall-winter-2021
