Job Description
Carver Road Hospitality introduced the company's first concept in Winter 2021 at Resorts World Las Vegas. A reimagining of the casino steakhouse paid homage to mid-century modern classic nostalgia while utilizing contemporary design, technology, and techniques to offer a contemporary interpretation.
At 14,500 square feet, the property's exclusive steakhouse offers an expansive bar and lounge area, a plush main dining room floor, and a sweeping terrace with an outdoor bar, dining, and lounge gardens overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. Inside the main dining room, a comprehensive digital art program complements a state-of-the-art lighting and sound system to create a dramatic ambiance that evolves in mood and tone as the night progresses.
Carversteak's menu features dry-aged American steaks from artisan beef producers and Japanese-certified Wagyu steaks alongside classic preparations of other steakhouse staples, infused with seasonal ingredients, playful presentations, and even an array of vegan selections. On the beverage side, famed mixologist Francesco Lafranconi features an extensive wine list, curated whiskey collection, and an Avant- Garden cocktail experience on the terrace with an onsite herb garden. Several private event spaces are available including two dedicated private dining rooms, the Knife Shop and the Scotch Room, and a large outdoor private garden.
