In the neon-drenched mirage that is Las Vegas, Komodo emerges. Tucked within the newly unveiled Fontainebleau, the restaurant is an alluring destination with a Southeast Asian dining ambience. Its design is decadent, crafted to satiate a hungry Western palate. Every detail concentrates on a sense of escapism, evoking The Strip’s noir era. The bar is elevated atop Palladio Moro, a mottled surface from Santamargherita’s SM Marble line, at the center of this establishment. Komodo honors culture and cuisine by veiling each feature under nocturnal lighting. These components make the central narrative evident: East meets West in maximalist mise-en-scène.

Silhouettes in quiet conversation heighten the space’s surreal, storyboarded quality. With layered mystique, Komodo’s design turns every seat into a character. The SM Marble flooring interacts with cultural elements, creating a refined design dialogue. Overhead florals and velvet-lined booths appear perfectly cast for this evocative setting. At the foundation, Palladio Moro lends the room a confidence to support each vignette that unfolds.

Patterns curl and climb across walls and ceilings with organic fluidity. Motifs extend vertically and horizontally, wrapping around the environment to create an immersive, almost theatrical embrace. This forms a visual jungle that feels exotic yet tame, an artistic interpretation of Southeast Asian landscapes reimagined for the Las Vegas aesthetic.

The atmosphere nods to the rooftop vibrancy of Bangkok and the secluded allure of Bali’s hidden lounges, capturing the high-gloss nightlife of Las Vegas while remaining unmistakably Komodo. These spaces feel more like a secret meeting place than a public venue. Capable of seating up to 326 guests, it retains a sense of intimacy, its scale softened by lush botanicals and richly layered patterns.

Here in the heart of Las Vegas, Santamargherita’s Italian SM Marble meets Komodo’s Southeast Asian interior. With its bold, expressive beauty, Palladio Moro forms a striking bridge between Komodo’s fantasia and the palate of its patrons.
