Lupo in Mandalay Bay is leaving Las Vegas. But staying in town.
The Italian restaurant from chef Wolfgang Puck opened at the Strip property in May 1999. Over nearly a quarter century, it’s had soft refreshes but never a wholesale remodel. Until now. If all goes according to plan, that remodel will begin in August, with a reopening by the end of the year.
And when that happens, Lupo will be no more. Besides a new look, the restaurant will have a new name and concept, though it will still be Italian.
“With the Super Bowl coming, Mandalay Bay has been making a variety of upgrades at the property. They came to us and said, ‘Could we do something different..?’” said Thomas Kaplan, senior managing partner in the Wolfgang Puck group.
