The Rose is out of the bag

By Xania Woodman

To be filed under cocktail chatter: We’re hearing tell of a sexy new side project involving, among others, Privé Las Vegas directors Greg Jarmolowich and Frank Tucker.

Sources say The Rose, a “cocktail room” (hmmm, we’re guessing tabs over bottles and some serious mixology…?) will open at summer’s end (“shooting for labor day weekend”) in the former footprint of the diminutive Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce burlesque club at the intersection of Mandalay Bay, THEHotel and Mandalay Place. We’re told the space’s legacy of sexy will continue on stage with choreographed shows.

A spokesperson for Jarmolowich and Tucker declined to comment, saying only, “We are unable to discuss anything at this time.”
