Beloved lakeside destination continues its legacy with fresh design and finest meats
One of the most coveted restaurants in the country makes its grand return as PRIME Steakhouse officially debuts a new era of Fountain-side dining at Bellagio Resort & Casino. The revered culinary gem by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten unveils a reimagined look that blends PRIME’s time-honored elegance with contemporary sophistication.
“When PRIME opened in 1998 with Bellagio Fountains as its backdrop, it shattered the ceiling of expectations for what a restaurant in Las Vegas could be,” said Chef Vongerichten. “This next phase of PRIME celebrates our history while foraging into the future with an aesthetic and refined flavors that will make you fall in love with the glamour of dining in Las Vegas all over again.”
Elegant Design
PRIME’s new modern-day design welcomes guests into a luxurious living room-style lobby, featuring a Saint Laurent marble door frame, Baccarat-inspired carved glass, 1940s Parisian sconces and a host stand reminiscent of a fine jewelry display. As guests step into the refined cocktail lounge at PRIME’s entrance, the new design unfolds with French blue and caramel accents flowing seamlessly throughout the restaurant complemented by Italian damask fabrics, handmade wall coverings, Venetian chandeliers, Baccarat-inspired carved glass and mirrors and Saint Laurent marble accents.
Soft layers of drapery create intimate and distinct areas within the main dining room, while the private dining room features a sculptural piece depicting the Fountains of Bellagio in architectural form. Each room, from the cocktail lounge to the private dining area reflects an interplay of classic and contemporary motifs, with signature details such as lattice patterns woven into the carpet, creating an ambiance that is both inviting and sophisticated.
Reimagined Menu
PRIME’s refreshed menu is a global collection of the finest meats through a dueling selection of the best cuts from American farms, and steaks from Japan treated with marbling techniques safeguarded for centuries. Guests may complement their steak with homemade sauces such as Soy Rice Wine, Béarnaise and Peppercorn, as well as gourmet sides that include Truffle Mashed Potatoes, Glazed Mushrooms or Brussels Sprouts prepared with prosciutto and pear mustard.
For ocean fare aficionados, a raw bar awaits offering a chef’s selection of shrimp, oysters, fish carpaccio, caviar and sushi that can be ordered a la carte or indulged through a towering Seafood Plateau. Guests also can explore a variety of entrees set to become new city signatures from the Truffle BBQ Short Rib with smoked bacon, Chilean Sea Bass or the Parmesan Crusted Chicken with lemon butter and basil.
Rounding out the exquisite culinary journey, PRIME offers the finest and rarest vintage wines from Bellagio’s award-winning cellar in addition to cocktails crafted from high-end spirits and fresh pressed juices.

LV’s Women’s Fall-Winter 2025-2026 show is a collaboration between Louis Vuitton and electro group Kraftwerk. The Fall-Winter 2025-2026 Women’s collection evokes a fundamental part of Louis Vuitton’s history and the essence of that innovation from another brand-new century.
Making its comeback, the LV II historical timepiece was showcased in five looks exclusively on the runway. In 1988, the house entrusted Italian designer Gae Aulenti with the creation of watches that would represent Louis Vuitton’s mark on time, leading to the birth of the LV II travel-watch. Worn either on the wrist or around the neck, as a refined accessory, the watch embodies the spirit of travel cherished by the house.

SELENEE, THE AVANT-GARDE LUXURY FASHION BRAND, UNVEILS THE OTHERWORLDLY LABYRINTHINE “GARDEN OF FORKING PATH” COLLECTION AT LA FASHION WEEK — MARCH 16, 2025
LUXURY BRAND’S BOLD SPRING LOOKS PROVIDE EMOTIONAL RESONANCE ABOUT INDIVIDUALITY AND DREAMS
SELENEE, the avant-garde luxury fashion brand, unveils its highly anticipated collection “The Garden of Forking Path” during LA Fashion Week on March 16, 2025, 5:00 PM (PST) at Neue House Hollywood, 6121 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles beginning with a red carpet. The show’s fusion of fashion and visual art will provide guests with an emotional resonance about individuality and dreams, showcasing a range of unique and groundbreaking pieces for women and men.
The design of the Garden of Forking Path has been inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ short story of the same name as well as the exploration of “Infinite Possibilities in a Maze.” The collection depicts a labyrinthine world that symbolizes the intertwining of time, space, and destiny. Through silhouette, materials, and details of the clothing, the theme of “forking paths” and “multiple possibilities” is showcased.
From classic plaid wool to flowing fabrics, SELENEE utilizes a classic gray and black palette with the combination of sharp lines and flowing curves that capture the mysterious essence of a labyrinth. A collision of vintage and modern sensibilities is evident through plaid fabrics meeting three-dimensional tailoring, reflecting the theme of time intertwining. Corseted coats, exaggerated shoulders, suit dresses, checkered pants, wool blousons, and leather sweatshirts, capes and dresses define this season’s collection. Pieces are available for purchase on the SELENEE website and range from $480.00 to $5,800.
Since its 2023 inception, the brand has been known for experimental silhouettes, and the Garden of Forking Path accelerates this with bold three-dimensional designs and exaggerated contours, exploring
the infinite possibilities of material language. This is also expressed in intricate and stunning design details such as cuffs featuring a split design, mimicking the branches of the labyrinth as well as a layered skirt that embodies the imagery of multiple intersecting spaces.
“Every path is a choice, giving rise to infinite possibilities. Los Angeles is the perfect setting for this collection as it’s not only where my dreams began, but also where many of my friends, like me, have found the courage to pursue their dreams again,” said Motong Yang, SELENEE’S Artistic Director. “This show is not only a fulfillment of my original aspirations but also a way to inspire those who once put their dreams on hold due to reality, encouraging them to take a bold step forward. It is for the dreams we once left behind and for the better versions of ourselves.”
The show integrates installation art and performance art into an interactive experience, allowing the audience to go beyond passive viewing and deeply connect with the brand’s message. SELENEE’s underlying philosophy of good design being a result of both aesthetics and responsible and sustainable practices challenges the status quo while embracing innovation.
