Fin Bows Out at the Mirage Before the Chinese New Year

More changes come to the Mirage. Samba Brazilian Steakhouse closed on Aug. 31, followed by the Italian restaurant Portofino at the end of the year.

Now comes word that Fin, the Chinese restaurant at the Mirage, closes on Saturday, Feb. 10, six days before the start of Chinese New Year.

Yabu Pushelberg designed the dinner-only restaurant that opened in 2005 in gold and jade, with glass designs and a water feature. Floating translucent spheres hanging from the ceiling set off the main dining room, while the two private dining rooms sit on either side of the space.

The menu features contemporary Chinese cuisine including General Tso’s chicken or Kung Pao chicken and shrimp served family-style.

In February, Osteria Costa takes over the Samba space with dishes from the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. The casual approach to Italian fare brings Neopolitan pizzas, handmade pastas, fresh seafood, and house-baked bread.

The Portofino space next door to Fin converts into room for conventions and meetings.
