- Classic Cocktail Cart – A custom tableside cart offering hand-crafted timeless classics like a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned.
The Scotch 80 Prime name pays homage to the historical and sought-after Scotch 80s neighborhood in Las Vegas – 80 acres of land purchased in the early 1900’s by the city’s first mayor, Peter Buol, using funds from Scottish investors and home to many celebrities, casino titans and prominent Vegas figures like Howard Hughes, Jerry Lewis, Oscar Goodman and more. Additionally, the beautiful restaurant will feature rich wood textures, chocolate leather tufted booths and abundance of fine art throughout the restaurant. One of the central design features of the restaurant will be a large statement window overlooking Flamingo Road offering passersby a sneak peek into the excitement and energy of the restaurant’s bar and lounge. A green hedge enclosed outdoor patio will also offer guests an al fresco lounge experience.
The steakhouse will join Palms’ latest culinary additions: Send Noodles, Lucky Penny Café and A.Y.C.E. Buffet. Other upcoming restaurant additions include concepts from the TAO Group and celebrity chefs Bobby Flay, Michael Symon and Marc Vetri. Scotch 80 Prime will be open for dinner nightly beginning at 5pm.
