SLS Las Vegas is planning to incorporate dining and nightlife options already familiar to many Southlanders. Restaurants are to include desert outposts of 800 Degrees, the Bazaar by Jose Andres, Griddle Cafe, Katsuya and Umami Burger.

The resort is also to feature a reinvention of the Sayers Club, an L.A. nightspot.

Labor Day Weekend has been scheduled for the grand opening, but a soft opening is planned for over the summer. The timing has yet to be announced.
