LAS VEGAS (Feb. 21, 2024) – Chyna Club and Washing Potato, two all-new dining concepts created by award-winning restaurateur Alan Yau, are now open at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
Distinctively pairing Yau’s signature love of Cantonese cuisine with eclectic design and Fontainebleau Las Vegas luxury, Chyna Club and Washing Potato are the latest additions to the resort’s world-class culinary collection – both first-to-market concepts from the mind behind the globally renowned Hakkasan and Wagamama.
