One of the busiest businessmen during the pandemic sets his eye on a new restaurant opening at Fergusons Downtown in late August or early September. Ryan Doherty and his company Corner Bar Management plan to debut Peyote, a desert respite with retro charm serving elevated American dishes, in the former La Monja space.
During the pandemic, Doherty opened the techno beats of Discopussy and the mezcal and tequila retreat Lucky Day Tequila & Mezcal House on Fremont East and LED-lit Oddwood as well as Museum Fiasco with futuristic exhibits at Area15 that joined his staples Commonwealth and Park on Fremont. Peyote partners with Main St. Provisions’s Kim Owens and Justin Kingsley Hall for the kitchen, Jolene Mannina from Secret Burger and neighboring Vegas Test Kitchen to run the front of the house, and Max Solano, most recently head of whisky education and a new brand partnership acquisition analyst for Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits of Nevada, on cocktails.

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of the summer travel season, one thing is clear: the pent up demand is very, very real. Las Vegas, which just last week announced it would end all pandemic-related restrictions on June 1, isn’t wasting any time.
As SFGATE has recently reported, hotel prices are up significantly for the most sought-after destinations (Hawaii, Florida, anywhere with a beach) while many cities remain a relative bargain compared to pre-pandemic times. One big city bucking the trend is Las Vegas over the last six months, from December 2020 to May 2021, average hotel prices in Las Vegas have risen from $134 to $179, according to hotel search site Trivago.com’s Hotel Price Index.
