The One Group Acquires The Nightclub and Beach Club at The New Tropicana Las Vegas

NEW YORK, March 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The ONE Group, the New York-based hospitality company known for its high-energy dining venues, announces today the acquisition of the nightclub and beach club at the New Tropicana Las Vegas. The ONE Group (One, STK, Asellina) and partners Remi Laba and Aymeric Clemente of Bagatelle America (New York and Los Angeles) will introduce to Las Vegas the original Bagatelle Champagne party brunch—made famous in New York's Meatpacking District—with a new day and night club resort experience. The transition of the property will be effective April 1, 2012, with renovation of the beach club set for late spring and the nightclub following shortly thereafter. 

"We are thrilled to bring the excitement of the Bagatelle lifestyle to Las Vegas following our recent successful openings in Los Angeles and St. Barth's," says Remi Laba and Aymeric Clemente, partners in Bagatelle America.

Bagatelle, an experience touted by the New York Times as "never too early for a party," is the originator of the "party brunch" with Champagne-fueled afternoons of a European flair. In Las Vegas, the daytime Bagatelle Beach experience will be enhanced into a full dayclub, offering Mediterraean dining, daybeds for lounging and beachside activities. Come nightfall, Bagatelle Beach will offer poolside dining with access to the new full-service indoor nightclub.

"Following the successful opening of STK at The Cosmopolitan, we are extremely excited to expand our footprint here in Las Vegas with Bagatelle," says Jonathan Segal, CEO of The ONE Group.

"We are eager to have such a well-known and respected brand as Bagatelle working alongside the New Tropicana Las Vegas," said Tom Recine, Vice President of Food & Beverage at the New Tropicana Las Vegas.
