One of New York City’s most talked-about dining destinations is preparing for its first expansion beyond Manhattan. The Corner Store, a SoHo restaurant known for its hard-to-get reservations and celebrity following, is set to open a new location at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
The move places the buzzy concept directly on the Las Vegas Strip, where demand for high-profile dining experiences continues to grow.
Since opening in late 2024, The Corner Store has built a reputation for blending upscale comfort food with a lively, social atmosphere. The restaurant quickly became a favorite among celebrities and tastemakers, including Taylor Swift, helping elevate its status as one of New York’s most exclusive reservations.
Its appeal lies in a mix of playful creativity and polished execution, offering familiar dishes with unexpected twists that photograph as well as they taste.
The Las Vegas location will open inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, marking the restaurant’s first outpost outside New York. The resort, known for its fashion-forward image and food-driven identity, sees the addition as a natural fit.
Executives from MGM Resorts have described the concept as aligning closely with what Cosmopolitan guests seek – energetic dining paired with a strong sense of place and personality.
A Playful Take on Classic American Dining
At its core, The Corner Store is a modern reinterpretation of a classic American joint. The menu leans into nostalgia while adding luxurious upgrades and whimsical touches. Signature items include Lobster and Caviar Rolls, Wagyu French Dip sandwiches, and indulgent desserts like the Samoa Sundae. The beverage program plays an equally important role, with creative martinis that have become social media standouts and a defining part of the brand’s identity.
The Las Vegas expansion is being developed by Catch Hospitality Group, the team behind several high-profile dining concepts across major cities. For the group, the move represents confidence in The Corner Store as a scalable brand without losing its sense of exclusivity. Rather than opening multiple locations at once, the focus appears to be on carefully chosen destinations that can sustain the same energy and demand as the original.
The new restaurant will replace an existing dining space at the resort, signaling a shift toward more trend-driven concepts on the Strip. Las Vegas has increasingly positioned itself as a destination for restaurants that first earn credibility in cities like New York before expanding west. The Corner Store follows that pattern, offering visitors a taste of Manhattan nightlife culture without boarding a plane.
As Las Vegas continues to compete on culinary reputation as much as entertainment, the arrival of The Corner Store adds another name to a growing list of restaurants redefining Strip dining. For fans of the original, it offers a new chance to experience a coveted reservation. For the city, it reinforces Las Vegas’s role as a stage for the country’s most influential restaurant brands.
