New York City’s Carbone takes on the fast-pace Vegas Strip at the luxurious Aria Resort and Casino. The Greenwich Village restaurant that took the New York City’s dining scene by storm debuts in the entertainment capital of the world and is adding more flavor to its menu and spicing up the design of the new location.

“The glamour, history and attitude of Las Vegas make it a perfect fit for Carbone,” said Jeff Zalaznick, managing partner. “We are not just replicating the New York City restaurant; our guests will experience a Carbone specifically for Las Vegas.”
Chef-partner Mario Carbone said, “It is very exciting to be a part of the booming food scene happening on the Las Vegas Strip. We are committed to bringing Las Vegas a truly memorable dining experience that is unlike anything this city has seen.”
Ken Fulk, a San Francisco based designer, created an atmosphere that infuses theatrical elements with Italian vibes to create a one-of-a-kind experience for foodies and guests of the Aria Resort and Casino.
