A popular sports bar and restaurant, Lagasse’s Stadium at Palazzo, has confirmed<\/a> it has closed permanently.<\/p>\n

The venue never reopened after it was shut down, along with the rest of Las Vegas, in mid-March 2020, due to the COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n

You remember COVID-19. Mother Nature’s biggest wet blanket, possibly ever.<\/p>\n

Lagasse’s Stadium opened at Palazzo in 2009. It was one of the few venues in Las Vegas we can’t recall ever having visited, probably due to the risk of being high-fived against our will.<\/p>\n

Lagasse’s Stadium was recognized as one of the best sports bars in Las Vegas, but chances are the rent was just too damned high given the uncertainty around the COVID crisis.<\/p>\n

It’s also challenging to do a massive sports venue at the moment when there aren’t many actual, you know, sports happening. No, golf isn’t a sport. Ditto UFC.<\/p>\n

Licensing deals with celebrity chefs is popular in Las Vegas, but those fees can take a chunk out of the profit for a casino resort.<\/p>\n

\"Emeril
Vegas is one third less Emeril.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For example, Gordon Ramsay’s deal<\/a> with Caesars Entertainment gives the “Hell’s Kitchen” star five percent of gross sales of his restaurants, up to $10 million. Sales in the $10-15 million range earn 5.5%, and sales of more than $15 million result in a 6% cut. Emeril’s deal with Las Vegas Sands (owner of Venetian) is probably similar.<\/p>\n

There’s no word yet on what might replace Lagasse’s Stadium, or when.<\/p>\n

\"Venetian\"
This will win you a bar bet: That’s the Rialto Bridge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lagasse’s Stadium was one of three Emeril Lagasse-branded restaurants on The Strip. The others are Delmonico Steakhouse at the Venetian and Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House at MGM Grand. They don’t appear to be jeopardy.<\/p>\n

If we could be done with all the bad news, that’d be great.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
