Clique Hospitality to Open Restaurant in Mirage

0

The Still, a no-nonsense restaurant and hangout that will quench thirsts, satisfy palates and serve as the ultimate man cave and sports destination, is set to open in March at The Mirage.

The project from Clique Hospitality will combine approachable and classic food served exclusively from the kitchen of an Airstream trailer located within the 8,000 square foot space. The futuristic vehicle, known for its distinctive silver shape, will be the first of its kind in a Las Vegas restaurant and will serve as an eye catching interior design element of the venue.

“The best food I’ve ever had has come from an Airstream trailer,” said Clique Hospitality Founder Andy Masi.

While The Still will have a centrally located full bar that offers craft cocktails, the highlight of the beverage program will be its extensive selection of domestic and imported beer. Besides the wide array of suds on draft, over 50 craft beers from around the world will be offered to pair with meals. Menu offerings include street tacos and sliders, as well as appetizers that range from flounder fish and chips, complete with black truffle tartar sauce, to fresh oysters and lobster rolls.

The exquisite rustic-style space is designed by Alessandro Munge, the visionary who brought to life legendary interior design features of many of Las Vegas’s hippest restaurants and nightclubs, including The Mirage’s 1 OAK Nightclub.

The Mirage Vice President of Food and Beverage Julian Griffiths said, “The Still will be a great experience where our guests can kick back and have fun. Whether it’s playing billiards or shuffleboard, grabbing a drink with friends, enjoying a late night snack or watching a sporting event, the bar will be the ultimate hangout hotspot at our resort.”

Masi added, “To say that we’re ecstatic to be working with MGM Resorts is a massive understatement. The Mirage is iconic and we’re thrilled that we get to add to its lore.”

MGM to Start Charging for Parking

0

MGM Resorts will begin charging for parking at its Las Vegas hotels and casinos this year.

It had to happen eventually. Land that was vacant in the not very distant past is giving way to land with lots of new stuff on it – everything from giant arenas, theaters and entertaining architecture of one kind or another to, well…parking garages that cost far more than Howard Hughes once spent to buy hotels by the handful.

The announcement from MGM said the company is building a 3,000-space parking garage near the northwest corner of the Excalibur property on Tropicana near I-15.

More than 42 million visitors a year will force this kind of change on a travel destination whose ambitious leaders hope to see the growth continue.

The way a Strip valet parker explained it to me, “They’ve gotta make it as easy as possible for people to get inside and start spending.”

The MGM announcement spoke of “enhancements” to the existing parking situation.

But what it means is that free parking is going the way of $1 blackjack tables.

As always there is a way around the “moderate fees” that are in fact very reasonable compared to trying to find a safe place to park a car in downtown LA or midtown Manhattan.

Locals and nonresident guests at the MGM properties can earn “free parking status” through M Life, MGM’s customer loyalty program.

But about those “enhancements,” that will cost about $36 million to complete and will include redesigned facility layouts to improve accessibility, elevator and escalator upgrades, parking guidance systems that will point guests to available spaces and mobile technology allowing guests to check space availability before arrival.

MGM Resorts Chief Operating Officer Corey Sanders acknowledged, “We don’t take this change lightly. We recognize it is a significant departure from a long-established paradigm in the Las Vegas market. However, we believe these enhancements and new technology solutions will become welcome additions to our guest experience.”

He’s probably right. Guests groaned and complained about resort fees introduced after 9-11 as hotels struggled to boost revenue. But the complaining has mostly gone away just as airline travelers have accepted luggage fees as  part of the price associated with travel in today’s new world.

Other Vegas resorts will be carefully monitoring MGM’s new parking strategy.

Guy Fieri to Open El Burro Borracho in Rio

0

Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino is pleased to announce restaurateur, chef, author and Emmy Award winning television host Guy Fieri expects to open El Burro Borracho in early 2016. 

The restaurant will be Fieri’s second Las Vegas restaurant offering, the first being his popular Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar at The LINQ Hotel & Casino.

El Burro Borracho, or the Drunken Donkey in its literal translation, will bring a vibrant, fun atmosphere with the Guy Fieri touch. Guests will enjoy authentically prepared Mexican dishes with upscale touches and the signature, flavorful flair you would expect from Fieri. Crispy Mahi Mahi Juan Tacos, Flaming Queso Fundido, Acapulco Gold Salad, Drunken Fish Tacos, Lava Rock Shrimp, signature tortas, enchiladas, burritos and an array of house made, signature salsas are just a few of the items available on the menu.

“Vegas is my home away from home, so bringin’ the Burro to Las Vegas is huge for me,” said Fieri. “I can’t wait to bring it to a location as iconic as the Rio.”

“At the Rio we are all about high-energy and fun, which makes it the perfect home for Guy Fieri’s El Burro Borracho,” said Dan Walsh, General Manager of Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. “We look forward to guests experiencing the incredible dishes and drinks paired with the party atmosphere Guy is known for.”

El Burro Borracho will be steps away from the lively VooDoo Beach pool, and will carry with it a relaxed yet entertaining atmosphere that will entice guests to eat, drink and fiesta. In addition to featuring an array of signature salsas, bocaditos, street tacos and more, El Burro Borracho will have a variety of imported beers, tequilas, signature margaritas and cocktail creations.
