Santa Fe Station building a new steakhouse

It’s the new steak, named like the old steak, but still a new steak.

At Santa Fe Station in northwest Vegas, a newly designed steakhouse will be taking shape on the west side of the property. It will be called The Charcoal Room, which is the name of the current steakhouse, which will remain open while its replacement is built out. A representative for the casino confirmed the project exclusively for the Review-Journal.

No word, though, on the timeline to opening.

That’s the turf news. There’s also surf news coming out of Santa Fe Station. The Oyster Bar is currently undergoing a refresh. While its mussels get a makeover, folks can avail themselves of oysters, clams, gumbos, pan roasts and cioppinos on the terrace of the adjacent Brass Fork.

There’s a hot new residency in town, one starring … Evian! On Tuesday at Tao Beach Dayclub in The Venetian, one of the grandes dames of bottled water launched its Vegas Sparkling Water Residency to celebrate the debut of Evian Sparkling (light! fresh! effervescent!), the brand’s first nonflavored bubbles to be sold in the U.S.

At Tao Beach Dayclub, the residency showcases:

— A glistening replica of the French Alps, the source of Evian water, through Sunday.

— Evian Sparkling bottles swaddled in Swarovski crystals, a design by sparkle artist Sara Shakeel, displayed at the dayclub’s Temple Bar.

— A water service presentation ($120) consisting of an Eiffel Tower bottle of Evian Sparkling delivered to the cabana, daybed or table, in true Vegas fashion.

On Thursday, the dayclub is throwing a residency party featuring Evian Sparkling water service, cocktails, tasty bites and a Bachelor Nation couple as hosts. The Evian Sparkling Water Residency runs through Aug. 12.
