Guests were tickled pink at the epic grand opening for Lisa Vanderpump’s newest restaurant and cocktail bar, Pinky’s by Vanderpump, at Flamingo Las Vegas on Thursday, Dec. 5.
Friends of Vanderpump joined the party to celebrate, among them actors Jesse Bradford and Andrea Watrouse, reality-TV stars Tom Schwartz and Peter Madrigal and the cast from Vanderpump’s latest show, “Vanderpump Villa.”
Pinky’s by Vanderpump (coined after Vanderpump’s nickname “Pinky”) features playful and decadent dishes that complement Instagrammable cocktails and the restaurateur’s signature design aesthetic.
“Pinky’s has been a true labor of love, and we are excited to bring such an iconic resort on The Strip back to its glory days of old. Once again, Caesars Entertainment has trusted us to envision and create a truly unique experience,” Vanderpump said.
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership. Through our design company Vanderpump Alain, Nick Alain and I have created bespoke décor that embraces the Art Deco era and the authenticity of Flamingo, where the glamour of the Las Vegas Strip was born.
“We wanted you to feel that you’ve stepped back in time into a stunning room with an incredible feel-good factor, reminiscent of a bygone era. It’s sumptuous, luscious and a design that Vanderpump Alain is very proud of.”
With a nod to The Flamingo’s vibrant history, the 198-seat restaurant and bar combines Art Deco glamour with lavish and decadent Vanderpump flair. Spanning nearly 7,000 square feet and set against a palette of muted greens, brass accents and soft blush pink hues, the space boasts a dramatic 32-seat bar.
Like Vanderpump’s other concepts at Caesars Palace and Paris Las Vegas, the design, lighting and fixtures are bespoke Vanderpump Alain creations designed for the space. The VIP lounge can seat as many as 40 guests.
Oversized booths are surrounded by brass Art Deco trellises. A vintage-inspired statue spins behind the center of the bar surrounded by gold chains and crystals. An oversized tree spans the glass ceiling of a conservatory looking out over The Strip.
The cocktail menu includes Pinky’s Martini, Flip the Bird, Pump & Bump and Daddy Issues. The menu includes Deviled Egg Gardens, Wagyu Sliders, Pinky’s Shrimp Cocktail, Signature Birdcages and Pinky’s Baked Alaska.
Pinky’s by Vanderpump at Flamingo Las Vegas is located along Las Vegas Boulevard next to The Cromwell. Hours: 3 to 11 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Brunch service is coming soon.
