From
Ron Ruggless, Nations's Restaurant News: Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse said Thursday he would
open a sports-theme restaurant called Lagasse's Stadium this fall at
The Palazzo resort-casino here.
The project will
feature custom sports viewing walls made up of nearly 100
high-definition television screens. Renovation of the
24,000-square-foot space, formerly occupied by The Sportsbook Bar &
Grill, began in June.
Lagasse’s Stadium is the
chef’s third project with The Palazzo and adjoining Venetian
resort-casino. The other two are the Delmonico Steakhouse at The
Venetian and Table 10 at The Palazzo.
Lagasse
said in a statement: “I’m happy to team up again with our friends at
The Palazzo to create the ultimate sports establishment. At Stadium,
we’ll be serving serious food for serious fans.”
The
menu will feature Lagasse’s play on game-day favorites, a few of his
New Orleans-style dishes and some twists on American classics.
Rob
Goldstein, president and chief operating officer of The Palazzo and The
Venetian, said, “With its accessible location and unique design it will
provide sports enthusiasts a great location to kick back, relax and
enjoy great food and beverages while watching their favorite sporting
games and highlights on the big screens.”
The location will feature lounge and stadium-style seating as well as luxury boxes for private events.
Lagasse
has 11 restaurants across the country, the most recent being Emeril’s
Chop House at the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem in Pennsylvania.
