The Palazzo and The Venetian Debut New Retail Concept and Bar

In October, The Palazzo Las Vegas and Hudson Group opened The Atrium, a luxury retail concept. The outlet has curated luxury pieces, including accessories, fine jewelry and watches, beauty and fragrance, electronics, and spirits from premier brands.

The 16,000-square-foot multivendor destination marked the first time Hudson Group expanded its portfolio to include luxury hotel retail in North America. Hudson Group operates over 950 stores and has recently expanded its portfolio to include specialty retail, duty-free shops, and cafes. 

The new concept will join the Grand Canal Shoppes on the second floor. As for the design: the retail space includes a curved path with island vitrines, wavy walls that form dedicated niches for each brand, and the color scheme is bright white, with a textured gold and black lacquer framing of floor-to-ceiling glass walls that open directly onto the casino. 

At The Venetian, on the other hand, a new cocktail bar named The Dorsey will be opening to the public on December 30.

The Dorsey’s menu will be created by award-winning bartender Sam Ross of New York’s Attaboy and Milk & Honey. The bar will include a curated selection of spirits from craft distillers paired with house-made ingredients. The Penicillin, one of the signature cocktails, was recently named to New York Times’ list of 11 essential drinks of the “modern cocktail revival.”

The bar was designed and furnished by the James Beard Award-winning Thomas Shlesser, of the Design Bureaux. Its design will use French oak, leather, brass and marble, as well as lowered lights and large sofas.

David Rabin, the creative mind behind New York City’s Café Clover, The Skylark, The Lambs Club, and JIMMY at the James, assisted The Venetian in creating the new concept. The Dorsey will be located on the casino floor of The Venetian, adjacent to Restaurant Row.
