The Corner Store Expands to Las Vegas: A New Culinary Experience

Eugene Remm, Tilman Fertitta, and Catch Hospitality Group are set to open a second location of The Corner Store at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas this fall. This new restaurant aims to replicate the successful elements of its original SoHo location in New York City, which has gained popularity for its classic American cuisine. The Las Vegas venue will feature 150 seats, doubling the capacity of the New York restaurant, and will include a significantly larger kitchen and three bars.

The menu at The Corner Store will maintain the same offerings that made the New York location a sensation, including caviar-topped lobster rolls, five-cheese pizza rolls, wagyu French dip, and steak frites. Remm emphasizes that the restaurant will focus on "classic approachable American cuisine," crafted from scratch, with no fusion elements. He believes that The Cosmopolitan is ideally suited for this type of dining experience, stating, “I feel like that’s exactly where The Corner Store belongs.”

The Corner Store will occupy the space currently held by Blue Ribbon American Grill & Oyster Bar, which is scheduled to close on February 16. This transition is part of a broader strategy by MGM Resorts to enhance its dining portfolio, which has recently included the openings of Carbone Riviera at Bellagio and Gymkhana at Aria.

Remm highlights the importance of collaboration in executing the vision for The Corner Store, noting that MGM Resorts has been a supportive partner in the development of the Catch brand since 2018. He appreciates MGM's competitive nature and commitment to excellence, stating, “They want to be the best. They have a competitive nature that I like. They want to win.” This partnership is seen as a crucial element in creating a vibrant dining atmosphere that aligns with the evolving culinary landscape of Las Vegas.

The opening of The Corner Store is part of a larger trend in Las Vegas, where dining experiences are increasingly focused on lifestyle and social media appeal. Remm asserts that creating exciting spaces is essential for attracting patrons, as diners seek unique experiences that resonate with their online interactions. He concludes, “You’ve got to create spaces that make people excited and also create spaces that are, in my opinion, from somewhere else and hard to get into.”
