Bradley Ogden & Sam Marvin Tivoli Village Updates Bradley Ogden & Sam Marvin Tivoli Village Updates

Bradley Ogden has moved one step closer in his return to Las Vegas. New plywood promises a May opening for Ogden's Hops & Harvest, taking over the former Bottles & Burgers space at Tivoli Village.

The casual concept will host 160 to 180 seats and run a handcrafted cocktails, craft beer and American wine program. As first reported by Eater Vegas, Ogden will include his famous burger recipe, last seen at his former Bradley Ogden restaurant at Caesars Palace.

Echo & Rig and Project Dinner Table. > >

And the long-awaited, equally ampersand friendly, Echo & Rig Steakhouse & Butcher Shop from Los Angeles chef Sam Marvin has undergone a plywood switcheroo. Originally featuring the chef's name, then changed to all black, the new coverings announce a future steakhouse and butcher shop, minus a chef or proposed restaurant name. The property currently has $99,265.40 in unpaid permit fees to the city connected to the space. Marvin recently trademarked Echo & Rig as both a restaurant and a retail and online merchant of meat, fish, poultry and game suggesting a strong continued commitment to the brand name. A summer opening is still touted.

Ogden and Marvin will be able to check out the progress themselves when they join Poppy Den's executive chef Alicia Stewart at a May 18 Project Dinner Table event scheduled for the upscale mall.

Another potential Tivoli Village space for culinary expansion is also now available at the recently shuttered YoScream frozen yogurt shop, neighboring Kabuki.

Nightlife Nightlife

Nightlife

Vegas Seven takes a look inside Light, the nightclub opening with Cirque du Soleil at Mandalay Bay on Memorial Day weekend. And it's much more than just a nightclub. "With Cirque artists flipping and slipping through the air, there's going to be plenty of visual energy. Each DJ, according to a Light spokesperson, will meet with Cirque and get a customized show. What's being packaged here isn't just a night out, but an evening of immersion in the crafted spectacle of a night out. The club itself is a performance of 'nightlife.'" [VS]
