Effective July 23, Switch in Encore will be closing.
When it opened five years ago, the p.r. wags couldn’t wait to tell ELV that its signature (insert one: stupid, tacky, declassé, ridiculous, overwrought, wasteful, useless, bizarre, distracting, nouveau riche, unappetizing) moving walls cost Steve “Mr. Macau” Wynn $40 mil.

Two closings have come to our attention in the past week. One made us sad, and the other barely made a blip — either on our palate or in the food community in the six years it slung its overpriced, boring food to conventioneers — who didn’t know enough to go elsewhere.
One was Boa Steakhouse.
The other was Bosa 1.
Guess which one made us sigh and sorry?
