Oh, Brothel
Luxor's New Red-Light District
The initial hype may have subsided following
CatHouse's debut, but we have a feeling the
pseudo-scandalous new restaurant and lounge will be entertaining people for quite a while longer.
Climb the stairs (or take the elevator) to a richly decorated 19th-century bordello complete with private
booths, sepia photographs, decadent chandeliers and a touch of naughtiness—soon, peep holes in the
faux hallway doors will deliver an eyeful of vintage French erotica (it's tasteful if it's vintage).
Chef Kerry Simon serves up his take on American comfort food nightly from within CatHouse's royal blue
Chandelier Room, only this time dishes like
Black Pepper Chicken Wings with Watermelon Salad and
Pigs in a Duvet are available tapas-style. But wait for Friday, Saturday or for Madame Mondays and
the Loungerie opens, conjuring up images of the roaring parties of a bygone era.
After dinner, the Chandelier room follows the Loungerie, slipping seamlessly into house music and
free-flowing booze. Better still, as the evening progresses, CatHouse Coquettes primp behind a two-way
mirror and perform sexy, choreographed numbers in the house's signature lingerie—for sale, of course,
should you find yourself in need.
In Sin City one does want to be prepared for every eventuality.
