A legendary chef is closing another longtime restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip.
After 15-plus years, Julian Serrano Tapas at Aria will close permanently after business on Feb. 1, according to a Thursday news release. The venue will transition into a new food and beverage concept anticipated to open in late 2025.
Serrano, 74, closed Picasso at the Bellagio in August after nearly 26 years.
Over the years, the tapas-style restaurant has received industry acclaim for its cuisine and hospitality with awards such as a Four-Star rating from Forbes, Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator and Best New Restaurant of the Year from Esquire, among other awards, the release said.
