3950, the brainchild of restaurateur Billy Richardson and designer James Gundy. Nestled amongst esteemed company on Mandalay Bay’s Restaurant Row, 3950 seems to have grown out of the 21st-century Vegas, responding fast and furious to the latest demands of the well-heeled consumateur. Offering conspicuous luxury while paying homage to Old Vegas style, 3950 seems to exist organically in an otherwise surreal environment. Highly evolved feelings of space and form give 3950 a remarkable energy to compliment a menu of luscious comestibles. Luxury booths harkening back to the ’50s supper club share space with a virtual reality fish tank (featuring real-time digital video of the Mandalay Bay Aquarium), all conspiring to indulge one aesthetically as well as gastronomically. Catering to an urban sophisticate crowd of Vegas locals and savvy out-of-towners, 3950 is putting zip in the strip.
