Blue Ribbon sushi, one of the first restaurants to grace the Cosmopolitan will be closing in the near future, most likely after the summer. This comes not far after the announcement of Zuma, from London taking over the space across from Blue Ribbon, competing and offering “contemporary Japanese cuisine.”
An insider with the company told us that the Bromberg brothers, who own the space, were not happy about the announcement initially, but since they have been experimenting with other types of restaurants including the Brooklyn Bowl and Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken, they were open to exploring another restaurant possibility.
We reached out to their PR company, which was unable to make any additional comments about the closure.
Cosmopolitan quickly put out a statement, to make sure it was clear that the resort still enjoyed their relationship with the Brombergs:
Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas are working together to develop an exciting new concept in the restaurant’s current location. The venue will temporarily close for these changes in late 2016 and expects to make more information available in the coming months. Blue Ribbon has seen great success since the opening of the resort and everyone involved looks forward to strengthening the partnership even further.

What will be in that space hasn’t been announced, but perhaps Fried Chicken is in Store for Cosmo?
