No trip to Las Vegas is complete without a stop at Chef Chris Santos‘ Stanton Social Prime, which officially opened on Tuesday, March 21. Connected to OMNIA Nightclub at Ceasars Palace, this new restaurant is full of weird vibes – which is exactly what it is chopped This judge has been planning the eatery for a while.
The luxury restaurant is the perfect dining opportunity for foodies and Instagram influencers. Every room in the 200-seat restaurant is a perfect photo opportunity because of the “Art Deco-inspired room, [which] adorned with bold colors, rich textures, and boudoir-like dramatic decorations on the backstage,” according to the Stanton Social Prime website.
Chef Santos opened the original Stanton Social restaurant in 2004, and for 15 years, it has been a hotspot on New York City’s Lower East Side. After its success, the Food Network star’s name was on the map among celebrity chefs. So, when the opportunity arose to join Tao Group Hospitality and continue the brand in Las Vegas, it was an opportunity that Chef Santos could not pass up.
Billed as a “reboot” of the original NYC restaurant, Stanton Social Prime includes some of the same signature sharing plates that Chef Santos has been rolling out over the years. However, there is definitely a higher flair to the dining experience this time around.
“A selection of dry entrées-large steaks-main inspiration and decadent side dishes have been introduced to show attention,” the restaurant’s website reads. “True to the Las Vegas show, service at Stanton Social Prime will include theatrical table presentations, exquisite craft cocktails, a world-class wine list, and a 10-seat bar dripping with premium spirits.”
Aside from the classic cocktail twist, Stanton Social Prime has a range of zero-proof cocktails, two of which are made with Kin Euphorics – a brand founded by Bella Hadid and Jane Batchelor – as part of a brand partnership with Ceasar Palace and Tao Group Hospitality.
When it comes to the Stanton Social Prime menu, there’s something for everyone. While there are tons of decadent dishes on the menu, it’s important to call out the 64 oz. Super Tomahawk, which is prepared on the table for the entertainment of the visitors.
Not feeling like steak? The Smoked Butter Board, Pierogies, the famous French Onion Soup Dumplings or the Wagyu Filet Tartare ‘Quesadilla’ are the perfect start to the meal until the main course.
Lobster Mac and Cheese and Chicken Parmigiana are among the standout entrees and when it comes to sides, the Dirty Tots – complete with lobster crème fraiche and caviar – are to die for.
If that’s not enough, there’s a wide selection of desserts, including the amazing Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cake, which is made with peanut butter mousse, devil’s food cake and drizzled with warm chocolate sauce.
