Legendary Dinner-and-a-Show Spectacle Returns for One Month to the Las Vegas Strip

Rose. Rabbit. Lie. cookie jar. | MGM Resorts International Four years after closing, the hit supper club, Rose. Rabbit. Lie. returns for just one month Las Vegas’s original dinner-and-a-show spectacle, Rose Rabbit Lie (stylized as Rose. Rabbit. Lie.), is returning to the Strip next month for the first time since it shuttered in 2021. For the month of April, the Cosmopolitan will revive the supper club as a weekend pop-up experience at its centerpiece Chandelier Bar. The pop-ups will run 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on April 11-12, 18-19, and 25-26; reservations are available now. When Rose Rabbit Lie opened in 2013, it became an instant hit as the first Strip restaurant to combine dinner, drinks, and musical performance to a spectacular degree. A visit to the Cosmopolitan’s supper club started with journeying into a glamorously designed restaurant, ordering a garnished long-stemmed cocktail, and savoring bites of miniature caviar tacos while musicians, dancers, and contortionists bounded between small stages. “It was sort of a night out of your wildest dreams,” says Jessica Somple, the vice president of food and beverage at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. “I think it was a collection and fusion of things coming together that were intended to just delight the heck out of every guest.” The supper club initially opened as a companion to Vegas Nocturne, the Absinthe-like show from Spiegelworld. Entertainers from the show would wander through the space performing tap and break dance throughout various rooms like the Music Room with its high-top seating, the Study with its bookcase wall, and the Library, anchored by a stunning stained glass-style window.

Visitors would order caviar tacos — crispy shells filled with potatoes and hamachi with Golden Osetra caviar — that were equally as famous for their artful presentation as they were for being $47 each and the size of a thumb. The other must-order was the cookie jar, which was served in a crowned lion head filled with macarons, chocolate truffles, and other desserts, poised for pilfering while watching local talent like Skye Dee Miles sing in the background. At the revival, both the caviar tacos and cookie jar dessert will be available. Otherwise, the pop-up will be more bar-style with a cocktail menu of drinks taken from or inspired by the original incarnation. The Femme Fatale combines mango vodka with lychee, strawberry rhubarb rose syrup, and a sparkling rose, while the Through the Looking Glass is a blend of tequila, cachaça, and caramelized pineapple and chipotle. Performers will move through the Chandelier space during the pop-up, including appearances by Skye Dee Miles. MGM Resorts International Caviar tacos at Rose. Rabbit. Lie. Rose Rabbit Lie was one of several restaurants that closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. It reopened in June 2020 following a 78-day state-enforced shutdown. While restaurants statewide were operating under a 25 percent capacity threshold in January 2021, the supper club temporarily closed. It called it quits for good in March. The space later reopened as Superfrico, a companion to Spiegelworld’s since-closed Opium (and then OPM) show. Superfrico still operates as a supper club with jugglers, dancers, and vindictive ballerinas performing brief acts while visitors dine on chicken Parmesan and tableside-pulled balls of mozzarella. While other supper clubs in town like Delilah and Mayfair Supper Club achieve similar combinations of great food and excellent entertainment, the pop-up is a short-lived chance to revisit the supper club that did it first.
