Diners spoke. Red Rock Resort heard.
Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar, a restaurant beloved by locals, closed at the property in late April 2023 after almost a decade. Leoncito, a modern Mexican restaurant, replaced Hearthstone in early November 2023.
Sometime during Leoncito’s tenure sending out queso fundido, chicken tinga tacos and lamb shank birria, Red Rock conducted focus groups as part of what Scott Nelson, vice president and general manager of the property, called continual “refinements to our food and beverage offerings and what our guests want.”
From the focus groups, “it was evident a lot of our guests had been missing the concept,” Nelson said of Hearthstone.
