Wynn Las Vegas Opening new High-End Wine Bar in Fall of 2010
The Wynn Las Vegas is working along with N9NE Group’s Michael Morton to open a wine bar at its location. Later this year, the company is planning on opening the bar but focusing on more of a full-service business. Steve Thompson, spokesman for the Wynn, said “Our wine bar initiative includes producing a multi-sensory experience for our customers that includes music, food, ambiance and visual appeal.” The new wine bar is scheduled to create a certain atmosphere for customers and “the design team is working hard to build a new experience for our future customers.”
The wine bar is being designed to be “intimate and edge” according to Thompson. It’s biggest offering is a wide range of wine from some of the best vineyards worldwide. A specially trained team of sommeliers are set to take the stage at the bar. A gourmet, chef-driven menu will be serving house-made and artisan charcuterie, farmhouse cheeses, hand-cut crudo, tapas a la plancha and mini-size desserts. All are being designed to “compliment” each other in offering and build the atmosphere of the wine bar.
In addition, the music will be another focus of the new facility. Music that reflects rhythms from Italy, Spain, France, Argentina, Chile and Australia will be featured in the bar room. The facility is slated to open in the fall of 2010 and it is hoped to be instrumental in turning around the Las Vegas economy. Since the recession Las Vegas’ revenues have fallen drastically and have yet to recover. In the area, there are a huge number of foreclosures, small business failings and casinos are not doing well. Overall, the economy of Las Vegas and surrounding areas is one of the worst in the country and officials of the state are trying to find ways of bringing customers back in to the area.
Since the recession, many people cut vacations out of their budgets due to necessity. Since late 2007, the Las Vegas market has quickly declined. Casino operators are working to bring new facilities and offering to the general public. They area also putting together various promotionals and specials to bring people in. The new high-end wine bar is the lastest development within the city and owners are hoping it will spur a new group of customers to come to Las Vegas.
