Cosmopolitan Schedules November Opening for The Corner Store as Durango Casino Closes Three Original Food Hall Tenants
The Corner Store opens at the Cosmopolitan on Nov. 9, 2026, in the former Blue Ribbon space. Durango is closing three original 2023 food hall tenants by early November with pop-ups filling one spot. Las Vegas placed eighth in WalletHub’s 2026 food options ranking.
SCCG Take — Operators are rotating underperforming F&B tenants ahead of larger facility builds, sharpening focus on concepts that sustain resort traffic and performance.
The Cosmopolitan will open The Corner Store on Nov. 9, 2026. This marks the SoHo restaurant’s first location outside New York. Reservations are available now.
The Las Vegas site takes over the former Blue Ribbon American Grill & Oyster Bar space on the resort’s third floor. Catch Hospitality Group operates the venue. The group is led by billionaire Tilman Fertitta, who is acquiring Caesars Entertainment, and Eugene Remm.
The menu offers elevated American classics including Lobster & Caviar Rolls, Five Cheese Pizza Rolls, The Corner Store Caesar, and a Wagyu French Dip with 72-hour slow-roasted ribeye. The Butcher’s Counter steak program adds Rosewood Ranch Wagyu Tomahawk, Wagyu Porterhouse, crudos, salads, and shared plates. Chef Michael Vignola and Las Vegas executive chef Daniel Bernardo oversee the program. Rockwell Group designed the space with a main bar, dedicated Martini Room, vintage train car-inspired dining room, and private dining for up to 24 guests. Hours run 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 5 p.m. to late Friday-Saturday.
Durango Casino & Resort Adjusts Eat Your Heart Out Tenants
Durango Casino & Resort closed Uncle Paulie’s on Sept. 30. Yu-Or-Mi Sushi and both Vesta Coffee Roasters locations will close on Nov. 10. All opened with the resort on Dec. 5, 2023. No replacement concepts have been named. The Uncle Paulie’s space will host pop-ups in the interim.
The closures affect only the Durango outlets. They occur as Station Casinos prepares northern-side development that will include a larger food hall, luxury movie theaters, a bowling venue, and a second Moonshine Flats location.
According to Casino.org News, Las Vegas ranked eighth in WalletHub’s 2026 review of 182 U.S. cities for food options based on diversity, accessibility, quality, and affordability. Separately, Oak & Yolk installed its permanent sign last week in the former Pepper Lunch space next to Kura Revolving Sushi Bar in Chinatown. One co-owner shares a name and home city with a co-owner of the California spot Taste & Glory.
