Wynn Debuts Sartiano's Steakhouse, a New York Social Hotspot for the Strip
Wynn Las Vegas is bringing a double dose of New York influence to the Strip this winter. The resort already announced an outpost of Zero Bond, the exclusive Manhattan members club known for its buzzy guest list and low-key power plays. Alongside it comes Sartiano's Italian Steakhouse, a refined spin on the classic steakhouse from Bond Hospitality and Scott Sartiano, with a kitchen helmed by three-time James Beard Award winner Alfred Portale. Together, Sartiano's and Zero Bond mark a high-profile pairing of hospitality heavyweights — and a notable expansion of NYC's social scene into Las Vegas. When it opens at the Wynn this winter, Sartiano's will infuse the Wynn with a dose of New York cool, one that will likely play nicely with Zero Bond — or at least with the customers that pay the four-digit annual dues to frequent it (Sartiano's will be open to the public). Chef Portale is widely considered one of New York's most influential chefs, credited with shaping the 'big food' movement and mentoring a generation of culinary stars during his decades at Gotham Bar and Grill. At Sartiano's in New York — located inside the Mercer Hotel in SoHo — the vibe is sceney, with a menu that balances luxury and modern flash. Dishes include $48 caviar cannoli with crisp pastry shells filled with whipped mascarpone, rolled in black fish roe and chives. In Las Vegas, Portale will serve as culinary director, with day-to-day operations led by Las Vegas native Michael Rubinstein, whose résumé includes stints at Momofuku and Vetri Cucina. The Las Vegas menu will carry over highlights from the New York original while introducing new dishes exclusive to the Strip. Among the standouts are baked clams with pancetta and smoked bacon, lasagna with wild mushrooms and black truffle, and large servings of paccheri pasta with herbed ricotta and 'Sunday sauce.' A selection of prime bistecca cuts features prized American and Japanese wagyu, including a 40-ounce Double R Ranch dry-aged bistecca alla Fiorentina, carved tableside and served with Brunello beef jus and salsa verde. And yes, Portale is importing those caviar cannoli from New York. The restaurant's design will lean mid-century modern, with bold, geometric patterns meant to echo Las Vegas style from the 1950s, according to the Wynn. Expect an arched ceiling and a distinctive terrazzo floor. It will be tucked into an alcove overlooking the Wynn Golf Club, with a bar, lounge, outdoor dining, and a private dining room, and will sit adjacent to Zero Bond. New York's Zero Bond draws a high-profile crowd, including Taylor Swift, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, and — notably — Mayor Eric Adams. The club has recently made headlines over a rumored potential acquisition by billionaire Tilman Fertitta, a Trump ally and U.S. ambassador to Italy, who has recently vowed to divest from his empire of over 600 restaurants. Fertitta also owns the Golden Nugget and is the largest individual shareholder of Wynn Resorts. Meanwhile, Sartiano's in New York is known both as a hotspot for Italian steakhouse fare and an influencer magnet. In Las Vegas, it's poised to become a destination where seeing and being seen go hand in hand — or at least for indulging in some serious gawking at the parade of who's who moving between the restaurant and the club next door.

Nintendo Switch 2 smashes record as firm's fastest-selling console
STORY: Nintendo's new Switch 2 console has smashed records for the company's fastest-selling gaming device. The Japanese gaming giant said Wednesday (June 11) it sold more than 3.5 million units in the first four days after launch. Last month, the company forecast Switch 2 sales would reach 15 million during the current financial year ending next March. The console follows Nintendo's original Switch console, which launched in 2017. It proved massively popular, with 152 million devices sold. Titles like 'The Legend of Zelda' and 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' were big hits. The more powerful second-generation version went on sale on June 5, and has many similarities with the original console. But it offers a larger screen and improved graphics. It launched with games including "Mario Kart World", though some critics have said the device is so far lacking new titles.
