Sextro Steak Distillery - Las Vegas
An Iowa’s Legendary Distillery
Steakhouse, Liquor Bar, Special Events; Tasting Room (Las Vegas)
Sextro Steak & Distillery; a Steakhouse, small batch production liquor bar,
and Special Events venue like no other in Las Vegas. We have
detailed plans for a tasting room and are seeking a strategic partner for
the first location.
1. A working 6 gallon still, producing America’s finest liquor in
thesmallest batch known in commercial production.
2. A bar featuring rare whiskeys, fine wines, craft beers, daily tasting
flights paired with food. Our outdoor Grill will feature the finest charcoal grilled burgers, steak
sandwiches and house-made sausages in the city.
3. The catering and special event menus for every occasion will create
memorable experiences and include guided tastings, custom
bottlings, and unique one-of-a-kind opportunities for our guests.
4. An “In-demand” name brand restaurant. That simply does not exist.
We are going to change the paradigm. We have a unique
Steakhouse concept that we would like to share with leadership.
Our expertise in restaurant and hotel operations in Las Vegas makes
us ideal operators for this project. We know that most facilities are
underperforming on a revenue per square foot basis. We believe our
concept will drive tourist traffic and create a great demand
for corporate, social, and charitable events.
We also believe a concept like ours will energize team members, increase sales, increase check averages, profitability, and
employee retention.
In conclusion, our hospitality driven model has proven successful in
many markets, and we are looking forward to presenting your
leadership this opportunity known as Sextro
Steak & Distillery.
