LAS VEGAS, Aug. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolfgang
Puck's legendary flagship restaurant Spago, recognized for
igniting Las Vegas's dining scene
into a culinary epicenter, will open its doors at Bellagio Resort
& Casino in spring 2018. Marking 25 years since the fine-dining
phenomenon debuted in Las Vegas,
Puck's now revolutionary restaurant heralded the era of celebrity
chefs and haute cuisine that continues to define the city's
restaurant scene today.
The new restaurant will offer an elevated experience, featuring
an open-air patio with prime views of the iconic Fountains of
Bellagio.
"Just as Spago is credited with beginning the Las Vegas culinary revolution, Bellagio
transformed the casino-resort industry when it opened with the
first collection of world-famous chefs and restaurants," said
Wolfgang Puck. "My partners and I are thrilled to join the Bellagio
family and introduce our new Spago to the thousands of
international guests the resort welcomes daily. We reimagined Spago
in Beverly Hills more than 20
years ago and look forward to doing the same in Las Vegas."
Bellagio President and COO Randy
Morton said, "Wolfgang Puck is known worldwide for
delivering exceptional restaurant hospitality. From cuisine to
service and, of course, style, he is intricately involved in all
aspects of the business, providing first-class culinary experiences
for his guests. Puck's high standards are the same as those to
which we hold our resort culinary program, making this an ideal
partnership to continue elevating our dining scene."
Globally influenced seasonal fare and signature Wolfgang Puck
touches, such as gourmet pizzas topped with salmon and caviar, will
be the focus of Spago's market-driven menus, which will be
presented with the outstanding level of service for which the
restaurant is known. For lunch and dinner, guests will have the
option to choose from an à la carte menu or explore the best of the
West with Puck's multi-course California Tasting Menu. A special
bar menu of Wolfgang Puck favorites also will be available, along
with an artisanal cocktail program and extensive international wine
list to accompany the chef's culinary masterpieces.
Designed by architects Massimiliano
Locatelli and Annamaria
Scevola of CLS Architetti, and inspired by Spago's original
flagship location in Beverly
Hills, the new venue will have a sleek look and feel. Guests
will enter the venue from Via Bellagio on the resort's north side,
arriving into Spago's chic lounge and bar. Adorned with brass
fixtures, rich smoked-oak wood floors, leather chairs and couches,
the focal point will be a spectacular bar and wine room lit by a
stunning neon light fixture commissioned for the space.
In the main dining room, beautiful floor-to-ceiling floating
glass windows will surround the space, imparting picturesque views
of Bellagio's famed lake. Two exquisite chandeliers will highlight
the room's modern art pieces, while bold accents featuring rich
hues of black iron, velvet walnut and polished grey will express a
contemporary aesthetic.
The restaurants most coveted seats will undoubtedly be on the
patio, where guests will enjoy a front row view of the magnificent
Bellagio Fountains as they dine al fresco.
The restaurant takes the place of Todd
English's Olives, which will close this winter.
