The Hard Rock Hotel Gets a New Steakhouse in 2017

The 21-year-old Hard Rock Hotel is about to make another big change to the restaurant scene there. Brothers Michael Morton and David Morton plan to open a steakhouse at the resort in the HRH section of the resort in 2017. The Mortons says they’re building a new 7,000-square-foot restaurant.

The resort already has 35 Steaks & Martinis, which will remain open until the new steakhouse debuts.

The Mortons’ father Arnie founded Morton’s The Steakhouse in 1978 that now has more than 70 locations, including Las Vegas. Michael opened his own steakhouse, N9NE at the palms, in 2001. David owns four DMK Burger Bars, Fish Bar, Ada Street, County Barbeque, Henry’s and Rec Room in the Chicago area.

"Michael and I have long wanted to do a steakhouse together," David says in a press statement. "These plans have been percolating for years, and the time has come for the Morton brothers to, once again, reinvent the steakhouse."

Michael also owns La Comida in Downtown Las Vegas, La Cave at Wynn Las Vegas and Crush at the MGM Grand with his wife Jenna.
