LAS VEGAS (July 15, 2024) – The Rio Hotel & Casino is excited to announce the grand opening of Lapa Lounge, a vibrant and sophisticated cocktail destination that pays homage to the rich bohemian culture and bustling social scene of Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Lapa neighborhood. Located in the heart of the property, Lapa Lounge invites guests to experience lively conversation and expertly crafted cocktails right in the center of all the action.

Step into Lapa Lounge, where each cocktail tells a story as vibrant and eclectic as the neighborhood that inspires it. Much like the eccentric district of Lapa in Rio de Janeiro, the menu defies convention, offering familiar cocktails and flavors reimagined with a lively, upbeat twist. Every sip echoes the energetic rhythms and rich musical heritage of samba and bossa nova, infusing the experience with the spirited essence of Brazil.

The creations celebrate the bohemian soul of Lapa, drawing inspiration from the vibrant Brazilian flavors found in lush agricultural fields and cherished family dining tables. These tastes are artfully blended with subtle influences from cultures around the globe, crafting a cocktail journey that is both familiar and refreshingly novel. Embrace the unconventional and let the free-spirited flavors of Lapa Lounge transport you to a place where the music plays, the laughter flows, and every moment is a celebration. Welcome to a new balance of flavors, where the spirit of Lapa comes alive in every glass.

 

Cocktail menu highlights include:

Lapa Sunset Mai Tai ($18): Watch the sun set with each sip of this vibrant blend of tropical flavors and a hint of spice. Featuring Mount Gay Eclipse Rum, Rémy Martin VSOP Cognac, Chinola Passionfruit Liqueur, Grapefruit Lime Citrus, and Bitters, this cocktail transports you beachside.

Hibiscus Margarita ($15): Immerse yourself in a floral and citrus paradise. Elegant and refreshing, each sip delights with hibiscus and grapefruit zest. Featuring Teremana Blanco Tequila, Tattersall Crème De Fleur, Hibiscus Syrup, and Fresh Grapefruit Lime Citrus.
