Silk Road by Karim Rashid

Karim Rashid designed the Silk Road restaurant inside the Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas.

Before anyone walks into the Vdara restaurant one can immediately sense the rich history of the Silk Road re-envisioned today.  Delicate reflective patterns remind one of Asian tapestries viewed as never before.  Walking into the ocular entrance fiberglass swags turn into furniture like a spice traders tent set up for a four star meal.  The colors are white, pink and mirrored gold in glass, metal, light wood ceilings and fiberglass for an understated opulence.

The exterior high contrast pattern on gold mirror with matching pink windows and an amorphous opening signal to the dinner that something incredible is ahead.  Upon passing through there is fiberglass blobject furniture designed by Karim over a reflective gold glass floor.  To the other side is an innovative bar set below a dimensional representation of the Silk Road itself.

The hostess will set you in one of several dinning experiences, from intimate and cradling custom fiberglass banquettes to soft tables that seem to glow with a warm orange light, reflecting the sand dune layered wall and the southern Nevada sunsets.
