Jean-Georges Vongerichten Debuts New Era for
Prime Steakhouse at Bellagio in Las Vegas
Beloved lakeside destination continues its legacy with fresh design and finest meats
One of the most coveted restaurants in the country makes its grand return as PRIME Steakhouse officially debuts a new era of Fountain-side dining at Bellagio Resort & Casino. The revered culinary gem by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten unveils a reimagined look that blends PRIME’s time-honored elegance with contemporary sophistication.
“When PRIME opened in 1998 with Bellagio Fountains as its backdrop, it shattered the ceiling of expectations for what a restaurant in Las Vegas could be,” said Chef Vongerichten. “This next phase of PRIME celebrates our history while foraging into the future with an aesthetic and refined flavors that will make you fall in love with the glamour of dining in Las Vegas all over again.”
Elegant Design
PRIME’s new modern-day design welcomes guests into a luxurious living room-style lobby, featuring a Saint Laurent marble door frame, Baccarat-inspired carved glass, 1940s Parisian sconces and a host stand reminiscent of a fine jewelry display. As guests step into the refined cocktail lounge at PRIME’s entrance, the new design unfolds with French blue and caramel accents flowing seamlessly throughout the restaurant complemented by Italian damask fabrics, handmade wall coverings, Venetian chandeliers, Baccarat-inspired carved glass and mirrors and Saint Laurent marble accents.
Soft layers of drapery create intimate and distinct areas within the main dining room, while the private dining room features a sculptural piece depicting the Fountains of Bellagio in architectural form. Each room, from the cocktail lounge to the private dining area reflects an interplay of classic and contemporary motifs, with signature details such as lattice patterns woven into the carpet, creating an ambiance that is both inviting and sophisticated.
Reimagined Menu
PRIME’s refreshed menu is a global collection of the finest meats through a dueling selection of the best cuts from American farms, and steaks from Japan treated with marbling techniques safeguarded for centuries. Guests may complement their steak with homemade sauces such as Soy Rice Wine, Béarnaise and Peppercorn, as well as gourmet sides that include Truffle Mashed Potatoes, Glazed Mushrooms or Brussels Sprouts prepared with prosciutto and pear mustard.
For ocean fare aficionados, a raw bar awaits offering a chef’s selection of shrimp, oysters, fish carpaccio, caviar and sushi that can be ordered a la carte or indulged through a towering Seafood Plateau. Guests also can explore a variety of entrees set to become new city signatures from the Truffle BBQ Short Rib with smoked bacon, Chilean Sea Bass or the Parmesan Crusted Chicken with lemon butter and basil.
Rounding out the exquisite culinary journey, PRIME offers the finest and rarest vintage wines from Bellagio’s award-winning cellar in addition to cocktails crafted from high-end spirits and fresh pressed juices.
