A new restaurant and lounge opening this summer will immerse patrons in an experience of authenticity and elegance by pairing the upscale European lifestyle with the vibrant Miami touch in a lively space at Grand Canal Shoppes inside The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
The destination, Villa Azur, will serve a feast for the senses, delivering a unique experience each night with upscale cuisine in a high-energy ambiance that inspires guests to dance the night away.
At the cornerstone of the Villa Azur experience is the food, featuring a taste of the south of France and the east coast, pairing seasonal ingredients and international flavors with stunning presentation. Signature items will include truffle burrata, seared octopus, truffle French ravioles, Dover sole meunière and pâtes a la meule served tableside in a Parmigiano Reggiano wheel and cognac flamed, to name a few. Chefs bring the best and freshest ingredients from other states and countries to the table to guarantee top quality, sharing the generosity and conviviality of the French Riviera.
Villa Azur will bring a little bit of extravagance with late night entertainment, glamorous greeters, DJs, musicians, dancers and other entertainers performing throughout the restaurant, evoking the effervescence of an authentic cabaret and giving guests the energy and after-dinner vibe of the French Riviera. Many dishes are prepared tableside by the servers, adding to the theatrics of the space. Additionally, the restaurant will offer a curated wine and champagne list to further fancify the vibe along with an equally impressive cocktail menu with master mixologists handcrafting signature drinks.
Setting is critical, and the avant garde design of Villa Azur embodies an elegant yet simultaneously romantic and intimate vibe—a place to linger. The design and ambiance created by Jafif Arquitectos is sure to attract attention.
The Villa Azur Las Vegas location is owned and operated by Danko Hospitality Group, an established group of restaurateurs who are experts in creating unique experiences that encompass food, drinks and service. Based in Miami and Mexico City, Danko Hospitality Group also operates Mandalina, Karpos, Jatto and The Salty Donut.
Danko Hospitality Group CEO Jacobo Jafif, a regular visitor to Las Vegas, said Villa Azur will bring a new level of sophistication to the Vegas Strip, joining the legendary culinary lineup at Grand Canal Shoppes.
“After experiencing Villa Azur Miami, I knew this was something special and had to be involved with it, so I opened a location in Mexico City to great success. Since then, Villa Azur Hospitality Group has established locations in Dallas, St. Tropez and Bodrum, and I knew it made sense for Danko Hospitality Group to bring it to the Las Vegas market,” said Jafif. “Las Vegas is known for some of the best restaurants and nightclubs, but it doesn’t have one place that brings it all together in a way to entertain guests no matter how they choose to experience it and with this caliber of cuisine. Villa Azur is fine dining punctuated with a party. There’s something for everyone and we can’t wait for Vegas to experience it.”
