LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — “A dark, sultry space with a wink and plenty of sexy undertones.” That’s how Lisa Vanderpump describes Gigolo, the cocktail lounge that’s now open at The Vanderpump Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.
Gigolo seats 50 guests, and it’s named in honor of Vanderpump’s beloved Pomeranian, Gigolo, also affectionately known as Giggy. The dog inspired the creation of The Vanderpump Dog Foundation, which has been involved in passing animal cruelty laws. The foundation has saved more than 3,000 dogs in California alone and has aided thousands more worldwide, according to a Friday news release.
“Creating a bar in his honor has always been a dream of mine,” Vanderpump said. “He has meant so much to us and to so many others, and to see a giant statue of him in Las Vegas is a meaningful moment for me.”
The drink menu includes Talk Dirty To Me, a martini for two, featuring an oversized skewer stuffed with olives as a shared garnish; the Slow Burn, a blackberry-flavored Old Fashioned smoked with hickory; and the Hush Hush, a drink that requires the customer to spill a secret into a tiny envelope, which is locked into the Vanderpump Vault. Vanderpump aficionados can also enjoy Vanderpump classics such as the Pumptini, the Pump & Bump, the Giggy Tonic, and signature Vanderpump Wines…
