Rice & Company to Open at Luxor Hotel & Casino – Friday July 22

The Strip is about to get a fresh new taste of the Far East with Rice & Company, an Asian bistro opening at Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Friday, July 22.  The 10,000-square-foot restaurant, sushi bar and lounge will offer contemporary Chinese and Japanese cuisine, an array of sushi and sashimi selections including dozens of innovative rolls, as well as specialty cocktails and an expansive sake menu.

“Rice & Company will be a wonderful addition to the already dynamic food and beverage program at Luxor,” said Renee West, president & COO of Luxor. “Our guests will enjoy the unique menu, specialty cocktails and contemporary atmosphere.”

Rice & Company’s distinctive dishes will be made from the freshest ingredients of the highest quality. Diners will enjoy such innovative selections as Lobster Shumai made from fresh lobster, crawfish and caviar, infused with wasabi, basil and onion in a Thai chili sauce and Cajun White Tuna with white mango salsa, seared and topped with mango, mint leaf, lime juice and black sesame. The culinary team also has created their own delicious twists on such main course classics as Orange Beef and Lobster Cantonese.

Executive Sushi Chef Danny Chen has developed a sushi menu offering the freshest cuts of sushi and sashimi, as well as an expansive menu of “Chef’s Special Rolls” offering something for any sushi palate. The “Kiss of Fire,” made from spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, white tuna, jalapeño and caviar, will spice up any outing, and the “Sexy Lady” will indulge a more decadent craving, made from king crab, seaweed salad, crunch tempura, avocado, spicy tuna, eel, and fried parsnip, served with the chef’s signature samba mayo.

The atmosphere combines classic and contemporary design features, offering guests a dynamic setting to enjoy their dining experience. There are three semi-private dining rooms for business meetings, rehearsal dinners, bachelor/bachelorette parties and more, accommodating 10, 30 and 40 guests, respectively.

Located on the Luxor’s second level at the entryway to The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, Rice & Company is open daily from 5 p.m. until 11 p.m., and the lounge stays open until 2 a.m. For more information or reservations, guests may call 702-262-4774 or visitwww.luxor.com/restaurants/riceandcompany.aspx.  Follow Rice & Company or become a fan at www.Twitter.com/riceandco or www.facebook.com/riceandco.
