La Cave Wine & Food Hideaway at Wynn has closed for a remodel. The restaurant began its temporary closure on May 27, 2024.<\/p>\n

La Cave, French for \u201cEarth\u2019s naughty place,\u201d will reopen in late summer of 2024.<\/p>\n

Such refreshes typically signal a venue isn\u2019t hitting its revenue goals, but they aren\u2019t ready to pull the plug just yet.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\u201cIn vino veritas\u201d means, \u201cin wine, truth.\u201d An elevated way of saying, \u201cWhen you\u2019re wasted, shit gets real.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While not shared by La Cave or Wynn, the over-under on the cost of the renovation is $2 million. We would look up the permit information filed with Clark County to confirm the exact number, but as the National Organization for the Advancement of Lazy Persons says in its tagline, \u201cWe aren\u2019t doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

La Cave Wine & Food Hideaway opened at Wynn in 2010. Steve Wynn actually had a hand in designing the place<\/a>, back when he was a revered Las Vegas visionary and before he was outed as a world-class creeper (circa 2018), relegated to being an asterisk in the annals of Las Vegas history.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t think we\u2019re cognizant of the fact we used the word \u201cannals\u201d in conjunction with a sex scandal, you don\u2019t know this blog at all.<\/p>\n

According to a news release, when La Cave reopens, the remodel will \u201cembrace the timeless, European sensibility the awarded restaurant is beloved for.\u201d<\/p>\n

The founders of La Cave, restaurateurs Jenna Morton and Michael Morton of Morton Group, are collaborating with award-winning designer Karen Herold on the refresh. Herold did La Cave\u2019s original design.<\/p>\n

We would love to tell you our thoughts about La Cave Wine & Food Hideaway, but we\u2019ve never been there.<\/p>\n

It looks fancy, though.<\/p>\n

Because we need to pad this story, here\u2019s a description of La Cave from the official Web site: \u201cShareable plates presenting delectable flavors pair beautifully with an exceptional collection of wines at Jenna and Michael Morton\u2019s La Cave Wine & Food Hideaway. Signature dinner selections include jumbo lump crab lettuce cups, beef filet crostini and woodfired pizzas. La Cave\u2019s butler-style weekend brunch features individually portioned breakfast and lunch delights served tableside. The dimly lit cellar, lounge, and main dining room offer an intimate setting; and the vibrant indoor\/outdoor garden room and spacious terrace overlook Wynn\u2019s elegant resort pool and lush gardens.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can see the La Cave menus<\/a> on the official site. Let\u2019s look at some excerpts, shan\u2019t we?<\/p>\n

\"\"
La Cave\u2019s menu is broken down by the food\u2019s place of origin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You thought it was going to be expensive, didn\u2019t you? Twenty bucks for a small plate is nothing in today\u2019s Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\"\"
For the record, we are against using babies in salads.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One more menu preview. This food looks quite approachable. LFG, as our fellow kids are fond of saying.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Now, we\u2019re getting somewhere.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Because we are a renowned foodie, we are an adventurous eater, so we would definitely try the Baked Meatball, Short Rib Taco, flatbreads (not the eggplant one, obviously), Mini Burger, La Cave Caesar Salad and truffle fries. You know, all the regular human food.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We experienced a Truffle Tremor once, but we were young and inexperienced.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What else could we ferret out to fluff up our story?<\/p>\n

La Cave has a dress code: \u201cResort casual attire is required. Tank tops and swim wear are not permitted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be fun if restaurants and casinos could write what they\u2019re thinking on their Web sites?<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, idiot. WTF are you doing wearing a bathing suit to a fancy restaurant at Wynn Las Vegas? This isn\u2019t Excalibur. Trust us, whatever body confidence you might have, nobody wants to see that when they\u2019re eating. And tank tops? What next, bringing a rolling cooler into our restaurant? We will literally tase you and send you packing back to your trailer park. Thank you for choosing La Cave!\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh, and according to the La Cave site, \u201cChildren under five are welcome.\u201d Possibly the least welcome series of words in all of human history, but nobody\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n

We shall use the reopening of the renovated La Cave as an excuse to finally visit the venue. We\u2019ll let you know our thoughts after we pop our head into the Earth\u2019s naughty place. Hey, we didn\u2019t invent French.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
