VegasWire: Ludovic Lefebvre and Lavo
The Tao Group's space at the Palazzo overlooks the Strip
LA Mag has a few new details about that Ludovic Lefebvre project at the Palazzo in Vegas we told you about a few months ago. Backed by the Tao group, Lavo is a small plates concept in a giant space---20,000 square feet that seats around 300 or so---with a Mediterranean theme (think: Spain, northern Africa, Greece, Italy.) “When people see what I am doing, they’re going to be in shock,” he tells the mag. "The most exciting thing is to come up with my pizza dough." So from L'Orangerie to Bastide to fantastically intimate guest cheffing at Breadbar to Vegas strippers and casino hordes. Live the dream, man. Lavo is expected to open later this summer.

VegasWire: New Tao Group Project at Palazzo, Ludo's Next Move?
We were on a press tour of the Palazzo today and the reps pointed to this empty front right on the Strip and said it will be a new concept from the people behind Tao, the hot-and-heavy spot at the adjacent Venetian. We let out a squeal: Is this the new project for Ludovic Lefebvre? Quite possibly. Last month he told us he was working on something with those very same people at this very same place. Barring any hiccups, this could be Ludo's new home, and it's the exact opposite of personal and homey, what he was going for in LA. But, hell, If you're going to do Vegas, you might as well do Vegas.
