LAS VEGAS (Oct. 2, 2020) – Now open at AREA15 in Las Vegas: The Beast Pop-Up, a curated outdoor eatery by renowned chef, restaurateur and four-time James Beard Award winner Todd English.

Current hours of operation are 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday throughThursday, and 5 p.m. to 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

In addition to dining outside, the menu can be ordered in other spaces inside AREA15: The Portal, a 360-degree, floor-to-ceiling projection mapped room; the Sanctuary, a circular bamboo volcano structure; and at Oddwood Bar, featuring a 23-foot-high Japanese maple tree twinkling with more than 5,000 LED lights.

When it opens later this year, The Beast Food Hall by Todd English will be permanently located inside AREA15, offering a customized menu created by English exclusively for AREA15’s food hall. Known for past restaurants located on the Strip, The Beast Pop-Up Food Experience and The Beast Food Hall will be English’s first off-Strip dining offerings. English is also an inductee into the James Beard Foundation’s “Who’s Who in Food and Beverage in America.” English has authored six critically acclaimed cookbooks, created the record-breaking housewares line, The Todd English Collection, and hosted the Emmy-nominated and James Beard award-winning series “Food Trip with Todd English.”

While AREA15 is free to enter, pre-registration is required and masks are required at this time to manage capacities and ensure a safe environment for all guests. Additional tickets are released daily, so visitors are encouraged to check the website regularly for updated availability.

AREA15 will follow the latest recommendations of leading health experts and government authorities, including the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And true to the insatiable hunger for all things inventive and groundbreaking, AREA15 will be using cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technology to help implement these recommendations, including an AI-driven thermal scanning platform that screens temperature accurately and non-invasively, detects the absence of a mask, and alerts staff when social distancing thresholds are not being met.
