Kassi Beach House

“Finding the right balance between hip/trendy and comfy/chill is an almost impossible challenge. Being able to pull it off in a restaurant that also provides high-quality food that’s both familiar and interesting is about as elusive as being dealt a wired pair, then making a four-of-a-kind on the flop. Yet those are the cards Kassi Beach House is currently holding, as Virgin Las Vegas plays out its first year of operations.”

That’s what Las Vegas food writer Al Mancini has to say about Kassi Beach House, Virgin’s indoor-outdoor Mediterranean restaurant by Nicholas Mathers (creator of Santa Monica’s Elephante, The Eveleigh in West Hollywood and Ruby’s in New York’s West Village). Like many, he was impressed with the way the restaurant effortlessly shifts from a casual poolside brunch spot into a DJ-fueled evening party. Perhaps more surprising is how well the team executes a diverse menu that ranges from pizzas, pastas and burgers to crudo and caviar service.

Make sure to ask about the cabana tables on the patio, as well as bottomless Fleur de Mer’s Côtes de Provence Rosé available daily until 4:00.
