Kerry Simon is preparing to open two new restaurants in Vegas.
"Rock 'n' Roll" chef Kerry Simon (Simon LA, Impala) is gearing up to open not one but two new restaurants in Las Vegas.
Debuting December 29th at the Luxor is The CatHouse "Loungerie," a restaurant, lounge and performance space inspired by "the rich opulence of a 19th-century European bordello." It will serve sharing plates of New American fare accented with European and Asian flavors. This being Sin City, there will also be a slew of "exotically clad, professionally trained performers" dressed in lingerie to keep things ... interesting. And of course, the later you arrive, the more risqué the entertainment will be. The restaurant will be open seven days a week from 5–11 PM, while the "loungerie" will operate Tuesday–Saturday from "10 PM until late" (3900 Las Vegas Blvd. S.; 702-262-4778).
Once CatHouse is up and running, Simon will turn his attention to Palms Place, the new luxury tower at the Palms Casino where his next venture will debut. Called Simon at Palms Place, it will open in early Spring 2008 serving a steak and seafood menu, including sushi, in an opulent setting designed by the ever present Rockwell group (4321 W. Flamingo Rd.).
