The Corner Store’s open at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, the SoHo favourite’s first expansion beyond New York City, and it brought its martinis with it. The restaurant pairs elevated American classics with a dedicated Martini Room built around a green onyx bar, inside a Rockwell Group room layered in burl wood, marble and velvet.
It serves seven nights a week, Sunday through Thursday from 5 to 10 pm and Friday and Saturday from 5 pm until late. Reservations run through The Cosmopolitan, and the kitchen’s led by Chef Michael Vignola.
Signatures from SoHo, exclusives for Las Vegas
Vignola’s menu takes an ingredient-first run at familiar American favourites, starting with the signatures that built the original’s following. Lobster and Caviar Rolls come with tarragon-celery remoulade, Five Cheese Pizza Rolls arrive with whipped ranch, and The Corner Store Caesar swaps in everything bagel croutons and cream cheese croquettes.
The Wagyu French Dip runs richer still.
That sandwich stacks 72-hour slow-roasted Westholme Australian ribeye, and the Las Vegas exclusives push further into steakhouse territory. An expanded Butcher’s Counter serves premium meats and hand-cut steaks, including a Rosewood Ranch Wagyu Tomahawk and a Wagyu Porterhouse, alongside seasonal crudos, market salads and larger plates built for sharing across the table.
The restaurant comes from Tilman Fertitta and Eugene Remm’s Catch Hospitality Group, whose partnership with MGM Resorts started with CATCH at ARIA in 2018. Ari Kastrati, MGM’s chief content, hospitality and development officer, calls the opening a defining moment for The Cosmopolitan’s culinary lineup, and the menu reads like a group that knows the Strip rewards comfort food executed at full luxury spec.
The Corner Store’s SoHo original built its name as a neighbourhood room with luxury habits, the kind of place where regulars and first-timers share the same banquette row. Recreating that register inside a casino resort is the gamble, because Strip dining rooms usually open big and loud by default.
A Martini Room built around green onyx
The martini runs the beverage programme, and the room gives it a stage. Guests move from the main bar into the Martini Room, centred on a green onyx bar, where CHG beverage director Lucas Robinson’s list mixes SoHo signatures with drinks created only for Las Vegas.
The Tomato Martini’s on the list.
So is the Sour Cream and Onion Martini, joined by a Las Vegas take on Oli’s Dirty Martini served with a trio of mascarpone caviar gordal olives. House-made infusions, milk washing and oil washing run through the menu, adding texture most casino bars skip, while wine director Emily Buse built the list with Master Sommelier Douglas Kim, MGM’s executive director of wine.
Remm says the team wanted everything people love about the original, rebuilt so Vegas gets a version that feels like its own. A martini programme with this much technique, poured until late on weekends, gives the room a second identity after dinner service winds down.
Catch Hospitality Group’s wider map shows why MGM keeps returning to the team. Catch itself now runs from the Meatpacking District to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Aspen, Miami Beach, Dallas, Scottsdale and Mexico City, so the group knows how to land a New York room in a new city without sanding off what made it travel.
Rockwell warmth, three floors up in Boulevard Tower
Rockwell Group designed the SoHo original, and it handled Las Vegas too, translating the neighbourhood warmth into a Strip footprint. You’ll find the restaurant on the third floor of Boulevard Tower, entered through a discreet storefront framed by wood doors and tinted fluted glass, with amber drapery, illuminated stained-glass artwork and Art Deco accents setting the tone.
Inside, the materials stack up.
The Cosmopolitan already trades on having the Strip’s most interesting dining floor plan, and The Corner Store fits its register exactly: a neighbourhood restaurant scaled up, hidden behind a quiet storefront, three floors above the casino floor’s noise.
Burl wood, antique mirrors, marble and velvet carry the main dining room, with tailored banquettes, herringbone floors, arched details and a curated run of New York City photography tying the room back to its SoHo roots. A private dining room seats up to 20 in golden plaster and layered lighting, and a flexible partition splits it into two smaller spaces when groups run smaller.
Practical details: the private room’s flexible partition means the same space sells as one 20-seat buyout or two smaller rooms, and group dining runs through The Cosmopolitan’s events team. For a Strip restaurant, that flexibility fills weeknights as reliably as the martini list fills weekends.
Catch Hospitality’s next standalone move lands at 9 West 57th Street in 2027, but Las Vegas got the group’s first expansion headline. For Strip dinners that start with a proper martini and end with a Wagyu tomahawk, the list of contenders just grew by one.
Book through The Cosmopolitan’s site or call the restaurant line. Friday and Saturday run late, and the Martini Room will be the hardest seat in the building by month’s end.
