"I learned that the NoMad Pool at the NoMad inside the Park MGM is getting ready to open on Monday, April 8; its Pool Restaurant plans to offer an all-day brunch menu featuring many of NoMad’s dishes, including fava bean hummus, avocado toast, chia pudding, a mushroom omelet, and a breakfast burrito stuffed with suckling pig, eggs, potatoes, spinach, and chile de arbol. A seafood section will include salmon salad, scallop ceviche, a lobster roll, and a daily selection of oysters served with a champagne mignonette. The food lineup also includes fried chicken and truffled chicken club sandwiches, plus a dry-aged beef burger featuring a special sauce. NoMad’s bar director Leo Robitschek created a cocktail menu that includes Ma Cherie (Fino sherry, lime, falernum, green chartreuse, celery, cucumber, and salt); Berried Treasure (Antiguan rum, Aperol, Fino sherry, strawberry, orgeat, and lime); the Detox Retox (blended Scotch, rums, aged cachaça, and coconut water); and Tropicana Avenue (Elyx vodka, Campari, lemon, strawberry, vanilla, and mint). There will also be a frozen Piña Colada menu, bottle service featuring Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades, Moët et Chandon, Billecart-Salmon and others, table-side cocktail service, and a cocktail fountain that can be delivered to a cabana. Designed by Jacques Garcia with a Moroccan Majorelle Garden inspiration, the pool sits on the resort’s third floor with daybeds and cabanas and free access for hotel guests. Jemaa, the NoMad Pool party, debuts April 12 with Mayer Hawthorne, followed by Mark Ronson on April 13 and DJ Five on April 14; locals with a valid Nevada identification get into Jemaa for free before noon." - Susan Stapleton
