Brothers to Debut New Steakhouse in Vegas

Posted on: June 30th, 2016 by Taryn Jeffries No Comments

Heading to Vegas early next year? If you’re looking to compound your culinary adventure there, we have one more stop to add to your list.

In early 2017, brothers Michael and David Morton will establish an altogether new steakhouse concept at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas.

The Morton family knows steakhouses. Arnie Morton established Morton’s The Steakhouse in 1978. The restaurant is still one of the best-known steak house in the United States. Michael revamped the steak house with the opening of N9NE Steakhouse in 2001. The changes bring a party vibe to a dinner out.

Continuing a Family Legacy

“We couldn’t be more excited to return to our steakhouse roots; and to truly reclaim the throne my father, Arnie Morton, held for so long,” said Michael. “To introduce this new concept with my brother, David, at the hotel our brother Peter built; it just feels like it was meant to be.”

David, who owns many restaurant venues in Chicago, echoes his brother’s sentiments. “Michael and I have long wanted to do a steakhouse together,” he said. “These plans have been percolating for years, and the time has come for the Morton brothers to, once again, reinvent the steakhouse.”

“Michael and David Morton have unparalleled experience in developing innovative dining and drink destinations,” said Jody Lake, COO of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. “This new concept fits perfectly with the direction we are headed and solves a missing piece of the equation with respect to the master plan of the Hard Rock Hotel.”

The new steak house will inhabit almost 7,000 square feet at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The space will feature all new construction in the southwest corner of the property.
