What the f…k?

October 04, 2008 By: John Curtas Category: Openings

Rumor has it that Switch, the Mark Poidevin-helmed restaurant slated to open soon at Encore at Wynn….or Encore at THE Wynn or THE Encore at THE Wynn, will have a design and decor that switches mid-way through every evening. Get it? This change-o-rama will include: a ceiling that turns over, window and wall coverings that transform themselves….and costume conversions for the entire staff….once a night every night.

Just what these apparel mutations might be is anyone’s guess: Trousers to mini-skirts? Blazers to wife-beaters? Or perhaps from this to this?

And what the f…k does any of this have to do with food? The mind reels.

Steverino’s favorite in-house decor-guy Roger Thomas is the mind behind this design, to which ELV can only say: Go get ‘em Rog! But watch out for all them moving parts!

    Will the food prices on the menu “SWITCH” from modest when you order and then when the check comes the prices have doubled or even tripled?

    or will this be just another restaurant that “sells the sizzle, and not the steak”?

    …. so when are you going to review the restaurant?… before I blow my hard earned cash on a silly place with moving walls, will it be worth the show?
