The Lounge at El Dorado set to open late summer

El Dorado Cantina is excited to introduce the brand’s newest concept, The Lounge at El Dorado, set to open late summer/early fall 2020 inside Tivoli Village.

The Lounge at El Dorado will occupy the former Hamptons’ space and maintain the same hours of operation as the neighboring El Dorado Cantina. The two establishments will share the courtyard and patio space.

Founded in 2014 by a private investment group led by Larry Rudolph, El Dorado Cantina is best known for being one of the first Mexican restaurants in Las Vegas to offer cuisine featuring organic, non-GMO ingredients and for its extensive menu featuring dishes inspired by regions across Mexico. The team believes in using sustainably raised products, which means that all the beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, fish and produce used in the dishes originate from carefully selected farms in the U.S. free from antibiotics, pesticides, and steroids.

Happy Hour is offered at both locations and every Tuesday, El Dorado Cantina offers Don Julio™ 1942 tequila shots for $7 (valued at $35).

Voted “Best Mexican Restaurant” by the Las Vegas Review-Journal multiple years’ running, and one of Yelp’s “Top 100 Places to Eat in the U.S.” two years in a row, El Dorado Cantina has two locations in the Las Vegas Valley: 3025 Sammy Davis Jr. Drive and 430 S. Rampart Blvd. Both restaurants are open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. For more information or to make a reservation, visit ElDoradoCantina.com or follow on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

It boasts an immersive tour that resembles a surreal amusement park. The distillery also houses a tiny restaurant that rivals some of the world’s top dining experiences. Visitors to the new Lost Spirits experience can expect a dreamscape of whisky and rum tastings, boat rides, under sea train rides, and holograms paired with exceptional fine dining and world class whisky and rum.

The 35,000-square-foot space at AREA15 will be a fully functioning distillery, designed to showcase a series of new spirits developed specifically for Las Vegas. Additional details will be announced this summer.
