It’s part of the rebranding of the Monte Carlo as Park MGM and NoMad Hotel. Décor mirrors the Gilded Age, with glowing chandeliers and opulent wood and leather comforts of the chophouses of the past. On offer is classic American steakhouse fare rooted in French cooking and cooking techniques, with a menu that includes seafood towers, bone-in dry-aged rib-eye, prime rib and a burger inspired by Hogsalt’s Chicago brasserie Au Cheval. There is also a curated cocktail and wine program that nods to the history of steakhouses and embraces Bavette’s 1920s speakeasy vibe. Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar, 3770 Las Vegas Blvd. S., Las Vegas, NV 89109, 702-730-6700.   Wolfgang Puck’s Spago is recognized by many for igniting Las Vegas’s dining scene when it debuted at Caesars Palace in 1992.

The new venue will feature an open-air patio, brass fixtures, smoked-oak wood floors, modern art pieces, a neon light fixture and floor-to-ceiling glass windows providing views of the iconic Fountains of Bellagio.
