Paris Las Vegas

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas is undergoing a $1.5 billion renovation that will include the redesign of its 4,000 suites, some of which are already available for booking. The new room designs are inspired by the traditional costumes worn in the Venetian Carnival. The project will also include the addition of a variety of new restaurants, which will be announced later this year.

Exceptional Events
The FRIENDS™ Experience allows visitors the chance to relive some of the show’s most memorable scenes complete with photo opps within set recreations, including the famous fountain in the opening credits.

Restaurant Dish
In early 2025, Mediterranean seafood restaurant Fiola Mare will open at Wynn Las Vegas. Led by James Beard- and Michelin-awarded chef and restaurateur Fabio Trabocchi, the new space will feature a raw bar at its entrance, as well as The Carrello del Pesce – a seafood cart offering daily catch selections.

Country artist Jason Aldean is opening his new restaurant – Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Bar – on the Las Vegas Strip this fall. The new 22,500-square-foot, two-story dining and drinking establishment will feature live music on two stages, Southern comfort food, seven bars and an elliptical outdoor patio.

Dominique Ansel Marché is set to open on the Las Vegas Strip this fall and was inspired by France’s sidewalk markets. It will feature such delicacies as fresh-baked croissants, crepes made to order and fresh fruit desserts.

I can’t wait to see all the latest offerings from the cabinet manufacturers. Color has been such a huge part of KBIS for the last few years, and it will be exciting to see which are trending and on display.
