In 2014, the Cosmopolitan launched Rose. Rabbit. Lie., a restaurant/social club concept unlike anything else in town. The experience was accompanied by the Vegas Nocturne show, and while that Spiegelworld production has since shuttered, Rose. Rabbit. Lie. soldiered on with its theater-meets-dinner adventure, combining song and dance with classic, memorable fare. (A new Spiegelworld show, Opium, has taken over the former Nocturne space.)
Sunday Supper, Rose. Rabbit. Lie.’s latest concept, is a take on the modern-day supper club. Guests are served a four-course family-style meal while the venue’s mesmerizing variety acts perform right in the dining room. The supper begins at 5:30 p.m. every Sunday and costs $95 per person (plus $75 for an additional cocktail pairing).
Fifteen minutes past the hour, restaurant dividers go up and performers take their positions—tappers and b-boys dance on tables, a live band plays in the corner and jazz and funk singers walk around the restaurant crooning standards—while guests dine on Gatsby-era favorites like oysters Rockefeller and shrimp cocktail with Fresno chili and a delectable foam.
The truffled potato gnocchi with Pecorino, roasted corn and smoked bacon and the spaghetti with “Sunday gravy,” short rib and sausage are the rib-sticking, comfort-food stars of this meal. And a slow roasted prime rib is carved tableside and served with au jus, fresh horseradish and traditional sides: creamed spinach, mashed potatoes and Yorkshire pudding.
Cap off your meal with the house-made marshmallows served with an assortment of chocolate and graham cracker bark. Roast them on the “campfire”—no tent required.
ROSE. RABBIT. LIE. Cosmopolitan, 702-698-7440. Sundays, 5:30 p.m.-midnight.
