White Whale

Las Vegas, Nevada

Consulting partner Sam Ross, founder of Attaboy, No. 66 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2025, guided co-founder Daniel Yang and his team in building a kintsugi-inspired lounge on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and East Fremont that replaced the seventeen-year-old Downtown Cocktail Room in October 2025. The Japanese philosophy of celebrating beauty in broken pottery informs a minimalist industrial space with natural textures, stone, leather, warm woods, and golden highlights. Weekend DJ sets and a happy hour program give the room range. White Whale carries the heritage of its predecessor and the pedigree of its consultant.
