Sam Ross and David Rabin of The Dorsey fame are at it again, opening a new bar at the Palazzo, this time with an old school, Art Deco flair. The 65-seat cocktail lounge Rosina is now serving near the guest elevators at the resort.

Patrons walk up to a facade made of solid brass molding and custom-shaped glass resembling a faceted jewelry box. Inside, the 1,100-square-foot bar features crystal chandeliers lighting the maroon u-shaped banquettes found on each side of the bar, as well as high-top tables with rich burgundy colored chairs and small cocktail tables paired with pearl-colored leather chairs spread throughout the lounge area. A soundtrack of Nina Simone, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Lauryn Hill, Maxwell, and more sets the tone.

The lounge also features a champagne call button that allows patrons to top off their flute with the push of a button. Even the ice here has a decadent touch, embossed with a handcrafted “R.”

Ross created the cocktails here, a nod to the classics including the daiquiri, French 75, Mai Tai, and Old Fashioned. Cocktail servers can offer special off-menu cocktails as well.
