On April 21, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas hosted its grand opening event, welcoming guests to the new Parisian-inspired restaurant. Television icon and philanthropist Lisa Vanderpump hosted the event with a number of her Beverly Hills friends in attendance.
Lance Bass, Kym Whitley and Garcelle Beauvais and cast members from “Vanderpump Rules” enjoyed the party, including James Kennedy, Lala Kent, Ariana Madix, Peter Madrigal, Katie Maloney, Scheana Marie, Brock Davies, Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz.
“Opening Vanderpump à Paris has been a labor of love,” said Vanderpump. “After living in France for so long, I am so happy to bring something to Paris Las Vegas that feels so decadent and authentic. We’ve been able to bring Paris to life within an iconic Vegas resort, and you’ll immediately feel transported to the sexiest bar in France. Featuring all of our bespoke creations by Vanderpump Alain, our intention was to create something truly unique and magical, and I hope everyone enjoys the experience as much as we do.”
Designed by Lisa Vanderpump and design partner, Nick Alain, Vanderpump à Paris transports guests from the Las Vegas Strip to an old Parisian courtyard. As the 36th establishment and second Las Vegas venue for Vanderpump, the restaurant features velvet art nouveau banquettes with oversized, ornately embellished pillows, as well as light fixtures and custom-made furniture from Vanderpump and Alain’s design line, Vanderpump Alain. The space also houses a long, white marble bar embedded with crystal chandeliers in wrought iron cages, bronze umbrellas situated on top of the marble, and windows that overlook the Eiffel Tower and Seine River, flooded with rain.
The cocktail menu features carefully crafted cocktails including the signature LoveLocked cocktail, a cocktail for two, one glass of which features a padlock and the other glass a key. Couples can write their initials on the back of their padlock and lock it onto a wall in the restaurant, leaving their memory at Vanderpump à Paris forever. Similarly, the Louvre at First Sight cocktail nods to the Louvre museum in Paris, delivered inside a glass pyramid filled with hickory smoke that clears to reveal the smoked prickly pear cocktail inside. A Vanderpump favorite, the French Poodle is a blackberry gin sour topped with a pink poof of cotton candy and edible gold flakes.
'We are ecstatic to bring Lisa Vanderpump’s elegant aesthetic to Paris Las Vegas with the opening of her second Las Vegas location, Vanderpump à Paris,' said Jason Gregorec, SVP and General Manager of Paris Las Vegas. 'We could not think of a better partner than Lisa to enhance the growing list of world-class culinary talent at our resort.”
The menu of reimagined Parisian classics includes light bites such as Ratatouille Frites, a colorful mix of spiralized and fried vegetables; Trio of Tartares, featuring three seafood tartares prepared as roses; and a decadent French Onion Mac & Cheese. Experience a taste of France through the Birdcage aux Fromages, a cheese board served vertically in a vintage-inspired birdcage; Mini Monsieurs, tiny croque monsieurs tied up with twine; or the classic Coq Au Vin Pot Pie inside a puff pastry vol-au-vent.
Vanderpump à Paris is located across from Café Americano and is open Sunday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to midnight and Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.
