The Sundry Food Hall at the UnCommons residential development in southwest Las Vegas is closing on Saturday, June 22, a little over a year after it opened.
“The Sundry was created through a bold, imaginative vision to bring a cosmopolitan food hall to Las Vegas locals,” said Patric Yumul, CEO of Table One Hospitality, in a statement.
“Unfortunately, we will no longer be able to serve the community as we envisioned.”
When it debuted in June 2023, the 18,000 square-foot experiment in upscale residential dining featured 15 restaurants, including Shotaro Kamio’s sushi spot, Mizunara, and Smitten Ice Cream, both of which closed last month without giving a reason.
Now we know.
Top Chefs Canceled
Also closing is Retro, the ’80s and ’90s-themed restaurant from “Top Chef” stars Michael and Bryan Voltaggio. Its last day is June 29.
However, this closure was planned since the eatery — which occupies the beloved former Aureole space at Mandalay Bay — was a pre-planned “one-year culinary residency.”
After Michael won “Top Chef’s” Season 6 (with Bryan coming in second), the brothers built a culinary empire that now includes modern seafood restaurant Estuary at CityCenterDC’s Conrad Hotel and the Voltaggio Brothers Steak House at MGM National Harbor.
