“Stephen Hanson and B.R. Guest are proud to announce the highly-anticipated arrival of Dos Caminos Las Vegas, opening at The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino in December 2007. Dos Caminos Las Vegas will be the fourth outpost of the Mexican cuisine mecca and the first outside of New York City.
As with its sister locations, Dos Caminos Las Vegas will offer authentic, inventive Mexican fare along with a vibrant bar scene. Building on classic Mexican staples of guacamole, empanadas and tacos, the menu will include signature items created exclusively for Las Vegas from Corporate Executive Chef Scott Linquist, who has overseen the brand expansion and openings of all Dos Caminos locations. Taste buds will be tantalized with dishes including Roasted Chicken Enchiladas with Mole Poblano and Salsa Verde, Lamb Shank Barbacoa, Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak with Frijoles Borrachos and Roasted Tomato Salsita as well as Chilean Sea Bass Veracruzano. The menu will also feature such brunch offerings as Dos Caminos Rancheros, Chilequiles Con Huevos (Baked Tortilla Casserole with Sunny-Side-Up Eggs), Pan Torrejas (Mexican- Style French Toast with Toasted Pecan Maple Syrup and Fresh Berries) and Mexican Benedict, available daily. Not to be missed: the made-to-order guacamole heralded by Food & Wine magazine as “New York City’s Best.”
The lounge at Dos Caminos Las Vegas will add more spice to Sin City’s nightlife, offering the latest DJ stylings, bottle service and top-notch people-watching as well as a delectable lounge menu for late-night dining well into the wee hours.
B.R. Guest Mixologist Eben Klemm transports the cocktail menu “south of the border” with imaginative margaritas, sangria as well as an expansive tequila menu. Sample one — or a flight — of the carefully chosen selection of tequilas, representing the best Mexico has to offer! Specialty cocktails include seasonal organic margaritas and Dos Caminos’ signature Frozen Prickly Pear Margarita as well as Pisco and Pinot Noir Sours.
The David Rockwell-designed space divides the restaurant into different environments, each a nod to a specific aspect of Mexican life. A waterfall and hand-hammered gates welcome guests as they enter into the intimate lounge, where snakeskin leather banquettes carve up the space. An abstract nightscape of a Mexican village frames the natural edge wood bar poised atop an iridescent gold and fuchsia tile wall. An incarnation of a Mexican bazaar, the main dining room walls and ceiling are covered with panels taken from the markets of Mexico. Accentuating the dining room, the candle-lit serpentine chandelier of glowing glass gems leads guests to an ancient stone-carved Mayan temple of fire that connects the two distinct dining spaces. The rear dining room is a celebration of eternal light with flickering candlelight reflecting off of the copper-colored glass and casting a warm glow onto the walls.
Dos Caminos Las Vegas at The Palazzo can accommodate up to 700 people. The restaurant will serve a brunch and lunch menu from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., dinner daily from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., with a late night lounge menu offered until 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The lounge welcomes guests seven days a week until 3 a.m. Please visit www.brguestrestaurants.com for more information.
