Scott Conant of ‘Chopped’ to open Las Vegas restaurant

Celebrity chef Scott Conant has announced he’ll open a restaurant called Masso Osteria at Red Rock Resort in February . Conant, known to many for his frequent appearances as a judge on the Food Network’s “Chopped,” says he’s excited at the prospect of being in a locals resort. “I have so many friends, and I’ve done so much with local charities, that it just makes sense to be in the market with a locals hotel and casino.” Masso Osteria will take over the space most recently occupied by Salute Trattoria Italiana, and Conant says changes won’t be too extensive. Conant joins Michael Symon, Bobby Flay and Chris Santos as the latest celebrity chef joining the Station Casinos’ family.
