BAR AND LOUNGE
MAIN DINING ROOM
Nestled within the Encore resort, Sinatra is Steve Wynn’s tribute to
a man who was equal parts colleague, legend and friend and pays culinary homage to Ol’ Blue Eyes as the only restaurant sanctioned by the Sinatra family to bear his name. The menu emphasizes Chef Theo Schoenegger’s deft approach to the signature fl avors and dishes of Italy. The bill of fare is fi lled with simple and satisfying pasta dishes, antipasti selections and riffs on Italian-American classics and comfort dishes, too, like Frank’s clams possilipo, with tomato, garlic, oregano and parsley; veal Milanese, a favorite of Sinatra’s, and a braised veal osso bucco ‘My Way’, with risotto Milanese and gremolata. The open, airy setting is at once intimate and striking, rendered in a palate of rich browns, greens and orange (Sinatra’s favorite color). The dining room is
adorned with oversized portraits of Sinatra in his younger years, while the cozy outdoor patio allows guests to dine al fresco, evoking the feel of an intimate dinner party in a Tuscan garden. Memorabilia on loan from the Sinatra family is on display, including the entertainer’s Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the 1953 fi lm “From Here to Eternity,” a Grammy award, numerous gold records and photographs. Born and raised in Italy, Chef Theo Schoenegger (formerly of critically lauded Patina in Los Angeles) has become known for his four-star cuisine and emphasis on seasonality and farmer’s market ingredients. Sinatra captures the heart of Italian-American cuisine in an elegant setting honoring the legend that helped put Las Vegas on the map.
accommodationsTHE MAIN DINING ROOMThe elegance and romance of Old Hollywood glamour lives on in this handsome, glass-enclosed space. Parties of up to 40 guests may be accommodated on multiple tables in the main dining room.
THE CHAIRMAN’S ROOMThe spirit and mood of Sinatra are charmingly captured in this semi-private space, a posh enclave seating just 14 guests. Surrounded by racks of great wines and a wall of glass looking onto the rustic gardens, The Chairman’s Room is graced by a wall size portrait of Frank Sinatra and Steve Wynn.
THE PATIOThe courtyard patio offers a matchless setting for al fresco dining. Here your group can dine under the stars surrounded by cozy fi replaces, fl awlessly groomed gardens and topiaries and small trees adorned with tiny white lights. This Tuscan-inspired terrace features two intimate patios joined by a garden path, with a maximum of 12 guests on one table accommodated on each patio. Parties utilizing both patios may accommodate up to 24 guests for a seated event or up to 60 for a standing cocktail reception.
