It’s been a year-and-a-half, but the acclaimed Le Cirque restaurant will reopen at Bellagio.<\/p>\n
The date: Oct. 28, 2021.<\/p>\n
You know it’s a big deal because we made the reopening date its own paragraph.<\/p>\n“Cirque” is a French word meaning “we can’t afford it.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Le Cirque fans will be relieved by this news, as there was a lot of chatter among industry insiders the restaurant wouldn’t be back after the pandemic. Don’t get mad. Just because someone’s an insider doesn’t mean they’re psychic.<\/p>\n
Le Cirque has been at Bellagio for more than two decades, since the place opened in 1998, in fact.<\/p>\n
The original Le Cirque was in New York City, but our version is better because, well, Las Vegas. And, also, the original closed (sorry, “currently relocating”) in 2018.<\/p>\n
Chef Dameon Evers will be at the helm for the reopening of Le Cirque at Bellagio.<\/p>\n
Evers clearly knows his stuff (sorry about the complicated culinary jargon).<\/p>\n
Evers honed his skills at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Beverly Hills, Gordon Ramsay’s former spot in West Hollywood and Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak.<\/p>\n
The chef also earned a Michelin star as executive chef at Angler Restaurant in L.A. This makes us think Chef Dameon Evers has exceptional wet-weather grip and excellent steering response, but this is unconfirmed.<\/p>\n
We, too, aren’t entirely sure about the definition of “perennial,” but these are the hazards of cutting and pasting from news releases.<\/p>\nFun fact: About 81% of chef photos involve arm-crossing. The rest are holding a knife or sitting on a backwards chair. It’s the law.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Why did it take Le Cirque so long to reopen? Well, if this place is anything like other restaurants in town, it has a lot to do with unions and staffing.<\/p>\n
Even as demand has increased, there’s still a big challenge finding staff. Yes, even at the high-paying fancy places.<\/p>\n
Kitchen cooks are even more prized than lap dances or hot dice rolls in Las Vegas at the moment.<\/p>\n
We’d love to give you our review of Le Cirque, but that would involve us having visited a French restaurant at some point, and that seems extraordinarily unlikely due to the fact they serve snails and the enlarged livers of waterfowl.<\/p>\n
Still, some people are into that kind of thing.<\/p>\n
Le Cirque is back at Bellagio starting Oct. 28, 2021.<\/p>\n
You know that’s a big deal because we just repeated the reopening date we already mentioned earlier in this story. We know how you like to skim.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
