In The Venetian, at the new Juliet Cocktail Room — named for the famed Juliet Rose — you will not find variations on a theme of roses. There is no giant bloom rising in the bar, like a mutant boutonnière. There are no petaled fixtures or tendriled accents or blushing botanicals. A flower wall, praise heaven, does not infest the space.
Instead, the $5 million Juliet Rose and its romantic associations inspired an opulent ambiance for the former Dorsey, which closed in June after almost seven years.
“The rose was an elegant name, something where we could tell a story behind it,” said Ryan Labbe, founder and CEO of 81/82 Group, the Las Vegas hospitality outfit that created and now operates the bar, opening Monday.
