LAS VEGAS\u00a0\u2013 Award-winning North American hospitality group INK Entertainment returns to Las Vegas with a limited-time pop-up of its celebrated Italian concept, Sofia. Running from November 11\u201322 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, the activation marks INK\u2019s return to the city since partnering with Cirque du Soleil in the 2010\u2019s for Revolution Bar on the Las Vegas Strip. This special engagement offers guests a rare opportunity to experience Sofia\u2019s signature blend of refined Italian dining, glamorous design and cultural artistry, perfectly timed to coincide with two of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas\u2019 marquee weekends: the KISS Kruise: Land-Locked in Las Vegas fan weekend and the Big Race weekend.<\/p>\n
Sofia has already earned acclaim at its Toronto flagship in Yorkville and at its Miami outpost in the Design District, both beloved for their modern Italian cuisine, world-class service and art-driven environments. For Las Vegas, the space at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will feature a curated art program in collaboration with Taglialatella Galleries, with highlights including works by internationally recognized artist Russell Young.<\/p>\n
The culinary program will be helmed by Corporate Executive Chef Patrick Ochs and Sofia Miami Executive Chef Abel Vuelens, presenting a menu of Sofia\u2019s most celebrated dishes alongside limited-edition plates crafted exclusively for the Las Vegas run. Complementing the food will be a regionally inspired cocktail program designed by Nishan Chandra, featuring flavor-driven ingredients and precise execution, along with a curated selection of rare Italian wines and vintage labels.<\/p>\n
\u201cLas Vegas has always represented the pinnacle of dining and entertainment, and bringing Sofia here is an exciting milestone for us as founders of INK Entertainment,\u201d said Charles Khabouth, CEO and Founder, and Danny Soberano, President and Co-Founder, INK Entertainment. \u201cOur vision has always been to create experiences that seamlessly blend cuisine, design, and culture, and this pop-up allows us to showcase Sofia\u2019s spirit on one of the world\u2019s most dynamic stages. From the food and cocktails to the art and atmosphere, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to deliver something truly unforgettable. We\u2019re thrilled to share Sofia with Las Vegas and look forward to introducing the city to the kind of hospitality experiences that define our brand.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited to welcome Sofia to Las Vegas, and it\u2019s an honor to work with a brand as stylish and contemporary as INK Entertainment,\u201d said Cliff Atkinson, President of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. \u201cThis has been a transformative year for the property, and this partnership is an exciting development. The timing is incredible, both for KISS Kruise: Land-Locked in Las Vegas and the Big Race. With the addition of this incredible partnership, this year will stand out as something truly special at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n
