The Corner Store opens at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas11 November 2026(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Corner Store is now open at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, bringing the warmth and energy of its celebrated SoHo original to the Las Vegas Strip. The first expansion beyond New York City for the restaurant from Tilman Fertitta and Eugene Remm, the new location pairs elevated American classics and innovative martinis with a richly layered setting designed by Rockwell Group. The restaurant is open seven nights a week, Sunday through Thursday from 5 to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. - Late. Reservations are available via The Cosmopolitan online or by calling (702) 675-9828. Led by Chef Michael Vignola, The Corner Store introduces Las Vegas-exclusive dishes alongside the signatures that define its New York menu. From lobster and caviar rolls to a dedicated Martini Room anchored by a green onyx bar, the restaurant builds on the original location's neighborhood character with an experience all its own. "The launch of The Corner Store marks a defining moment for our culinary lineup at The Cosmopolitan," said Ari Kastrati, Chief Content, Hospitality & Development Officer for MGM Resorts International. "Eugene and the Catch Hospitality team executed a brilliant, high-concept vision – integrating it onto the property raises the stakes for what resort dining can be. The synergy of striking interior design, elevated comfort food, signature martini service, and world-class hospitality creates a magnetic presence that commands the room from the moment you step inside. It's the type of unforgettable dining destination that leaves a lasting impression and gives guests every reason to return time and again." CHG Partner Eugene Remm added, "Opening The Corner Store in Las Vegas is an exciting milestone for our team and the brand as its first expansion outside of New York. We're thrilled to continue building on our partnership with MGM Resorts as we bring something new to The Cosmopolitan. Our approach has always been rooted in great food, great service, and a great vibe, and we wanted to capture everything people love about the original, while giving Vegas something that feels like its own." CULINARY PROGRAM Under Vignola's direction, The Corner Store takes an ingredient-first approach to familiar American favorites, reimagining nostalgic dishes with premium ingredients and playful details. The menu opens with signatures including Lobster & Caviar Rolls with tarragon-celery remoulade and Five Cheese Pizza Rolls served with whipped ranch. The Corner Store Caesar puts a distinctive spin on the classic with everything bagel croutons and cream cheese croquettes, while the Wagyu French Dip features 72-hour slow-roasted Westholme Australian ribeye. Exclusive to Las Vegas, an expanded Butcher's Counter offers premium meats and hand-cut steaks, including the Rosewood Ranch Wagyu Tomahawk and Wagyu Porterhouse. Seasonal crudos, market-driven salads and larger-format plates round out a menu designed for sharing. BEVERAGE PROGRAM The martini takes center stage at The Corner Store, where creative flavor combinations meet premium ingredients and modern technique. Led by CHG Beverage Director Lucas Robinson, the cocktail program brings SoHo favorites to Las Vegas alongside new creations exclusive to the location. Signatures such as the Tomato Martini and Sour Cream & Onion Martini join a Las Vegas interpretation of Oli's Dirty Martini, served with a trio of mascarpone caviar gordal olives. House-made ingredients and techniques, including infusion, milk washing, and oil washing, add depth and texture throughout the cocktail menu. The wine list was developed by CHG Wine Director Emily Buse, in collaboration with Master Sommelier Douglas Kim, executive director of wine for MGM Resorts. DESIGN Rockwell Group, the firm behind The Corner Store's original SoHo location, brings the warmth and nostalgia of a classic New York neighborhood restaurant to The Cosmopolitan through intimate gathering spaces, rich materials and vintage-inspired details. Located on the third floor of Boulevard Tower, the restaurant welcomes guests through a discreet storefront framed by wood doors and tinted fluted glass. Amber drapery, illuminated stained-glass artwork and Art Deco-inspired accents set the tone for the spaces beyond. Inside, burl wood, antique mirrors, marble and velvet create a warm backdrop as guests move from the main bar into the Martini Room, centered on a striking green onyx bar, and on to the main dining room. Tailored banquettes, herringbone wood floors, arched architectural details and a curated collection of New York City photography connect the restaurant to its SoHo roots. A private dining room accommodates up to 20 guests in a setting of golden plaster and layered lighting. A flexible partition allows the room to be divided into two smaller spaces. Additional group dining and private event opportunities are available through The Cosmopolitan's Group Dining team at signatureevents@mgmresorts.com. The Corner Store's debut marks the latest chapter in the partnership between MGM Resorts International and CATCH Hospitality Group, which began with the opening of CATCH at Aria Resort & Casino in 2018. |
