New York – Colicchio Consulting, which advises the world’s finest hotels in the development of unique food, beverage and entertainment experiences, set and led a strategy for JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa + Rampart Casino in Summerlin, Nev., to achieve a significant reimagination and enhancement of its food & beverage offerings and outlets.
Following an extensive evaluation process, Colicchio Consulting was selected to bring a modern, innovative culinary vision to the property’s food and beverage destinations while honoring both the continuing growth of the Summerlin residential market and the property’s historic roots as a luxury casino and convention hotel. Working together with the JW Marriott and Rampart Casino onsite leadership team, Colicchio sourced multiple new food and beverage destinations within the property, which include multi-cultural inspiration from local, regional and national cuisines, designs and attitudes.
We are honored to work with the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa and Rampart Casino in Summerlin, Nev., helping the property connect its leaders with outstanding chefs and culturally relevant restaurateurs to develop a new culinary program. The property’s new wave of F&B destinations are developed and led by some of the leading creatives from several styles of dining, and we are delighted with the outcome. Phil Colicchio, Principal at Colicchio Consulting
The new F&B destinations at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa + Rampart Casino include:
- Wineaux: A sophisticated yet welcoming wine-focused lobby bar, boutique wine shop and light bite restaurant from James Beard Award-winning chef Shawn McClain and partner Rich Camarota. Wineaux offers a curated by-the-glass and bottle list in a refined, comfortable social setting. This marks the brand’s first hotel-based location and will serve as a centerpiece of the new guest experience.
- ai Pazzi: The Las Vegas debut of renowned Chef Fabio Viviani brings vivid upscale Italian dining to the Resort, blending a refined Italian atmosphere and thoughtful takes on handmade pasta and fresh seafood combined with playful and mischievous tableside preparations.
- The Neighborhood Food Walk: A set of “first to market” locations led by three authentic chef-driven, high-demand concepts that bring both LA and NYC energy to the Summerlin resort crowd:
-
- Tacos 1986: Created by acclaimed tastemakers Victor Delgado & Joy Alvarez, this red-hot SoCal taqueria is a cult favorite.
- For the Win: Sharing a bar with Tacos 1986, For the Win offers traditional American fare with prize-fighter attitude, such as killer smash burgers and underground fried chicken sandwiches from Chef Santos Uy (Michelin Bib Gourmand) and Stephanie Uy.
- ai Pazzi Pizza: Chef Fabio Viviani (Top Chef, multiple restaurant concepts), adds a neighborhood-style pizza bar to the Prominade Food Walk.
- Nom Wah: A landmark Chinatown NYC institution (est. 1920), led by notable NYC culinary entrepreneur Wilson Tang, makes its Las Vegas debut with this outpost. Nom Wah invites both hotel guests and Summerlin locals to enjoy the cultural legacy of authentic Dim Sum that reaches far beyond the original institution’s 90-year history.
- Pearls – Oyster & Crudo Bar: Also by Viviani, this seafood-focused space complements Ai Pazzi and provides a “New Orleans meets Amalfi” take on a traditional oyster bar .
