Fogo de Chão guests can expect a prix fixe culinary journey that allows patrons to sample more than 15 mouth-watering cuts of meat, a 30 item salad bar and an array of traditional Brazilian sides.

One of the most popular cuts of meat served at Fogo de Chão is the house specialty picanha, a prime cut of top sirloin seasoned with sea salt or garlic and roasted slowly to create succulent taste and texture. Also popular are the two filet mignon cuts of tenderloin, both seasoned to perfection, one served wrapped in bacon.

While the meats are the main focus of Fogo de Chão’s menu, the restaurant is also known for its gourmet salad and sides bar featuring more than 30 items such as smoked salmon, sun-dried tomatoes, hearts of palm, tabbouleh salad, jumbo asparagus, cured meats, artisan breads and imported cheeses.

The restaurant boasts a drink menu featuring authentic Brazilian beverages like The Caipirinha, made from cachaça, a distinctly Brazilian liquor as well as an award-winning wine list that includes more than 200 labels.  To complete the dining experience, Fogo de Chão’s decadent dessert menu includes the restaurant’s signature Papaya Cream, made with fresh papaya, vanilla ice cream and Crème de Cassis liqueur as well as South American Flan, Crème Brule, Turtle Cheesecake, Molten Chocolate Cake and Key Lime Pie.

At Fogo de Chão guests dictate both the pace and the portions of their dining experience. Once seated, each guest receives a small double-sided disc, which signals to the gaucho chefs, “more food, please!”by presenting the green side up or,”I’m on a break now!” by presenting the red side up. This service concept is called espeto corrido, which translates from Portuguese to “continuous service.”

Fogo de Chão was founded in 1979 in Porto Alegre, Brazil and expanded into the U.S. in 1997. Las Vegas is the 17th U.S. location and will boast the largest grill of any of the Fogo restaurants in the states.  Fogo Las Vegas is more than 14,000 square feet and offers nine private and semi-private dining rooms, making it a perfect venue for weddings, conventions and special events. The private dining spaces are fully equipped with presentation screens and projectors, which make this an ideal venue for meetings.  The prominent feature of the building is the cobalt blue tile tower with its visible open flame rotisserie, a signature design element that is a staple at Fogo restaurants.  The rotisserie showcases the gaucho culinary tradition of grilling meats. The walls will be dressed with large colorful murals depicting scenes of the gaucho culture and lifestyle.  A glass enclosed wine cellar and black walnut wine rack displays the award-winning selection of wines.

One of Nevada’s largest, most respected and trusted independent jewelers – MJ Christensen – has been selected as the premier retail partner for the Las Vegas Cut® Diamonds in Nevada, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
MJ Christensen owners Cliff and Darlene Miller lead an approachable, professional and insightful team of diamond and jewelry sales representatives in their two locations off The Strip. MJ Christensen uniquely caters to the most discerning residents of the Las Vegas Valley seeking quality jewelry, including diamonds of distinction, purchased for beauty and value, love and legacy.

The Las Vegas Cut® Diamonds are now part of their selective diamond inventory effective today.
Kimberlight Brands – creators of this newly branded diamond – chose MJ Christensen as its premier retail partner because of the company’s integrity and service.
“Their reputation, authenticity and appreciation for superlative design drew us to MJ Christensen,” says Las Vegas Cut® Diamond representative Margaret DeYoung. “Cliff Miller, along with his wife and business partner Darlene lead a devoted team of gemstone and jewelry professionals who know diamonds and are uniquely positioned to help buyers in Nevada purchase wisely. We are delighted to include the Las Vegas Cut® in their offer.”
MJ Christensen was drawn to the Las Vegas Cut® because these diamonds are not only among the world’s most powerful performers – playing with light unlike any on the market – but because these are diamonds with a story.

“Diamonds and Las Vegas – two of our greatest loves – mirror one another,” says Cliff Miller. “Our city and these diamonds are all about light. They play and perform with it like no other in their class. Both are glamorous, create and capture memories, and emerge from nature’s most rugged and mysterious places to – in a word – thrill people.”
While the Las Vegas Cut® is new on the market, the idea of branding a diamond cut with a destination has been successfully done before. The highly coveted Dubai Cut diamond (with 99 facets) has been on the market in the Middle East for many years, capturing the essence of the Dubai experience in diamonds.

“The time is right for Las Vegas’ story to be told in diamonds. And fittingly, the design chosen to reflect our city features 111 facets that are artfully configured, cut and polished to deliver extraordinary light performance, fire and brilliance like very few other diamonds I have seen,’” he says.
The diamond craft reaches a pinnacle with the Las Vegas Cut. It more than triples the cutting complexity of a traditional round brilliant diamond and requires the highest skill level, attention to detail and professional discipline conceivable in the craft to master the perfection of a Las Vegas Cut®.
These key factors drew Miller’s trained eye to this stone and the business opportunity.

“All of us at MJ Christensen are excited to be the first and only place in Nevada and the United States to acquire this newly patented diamond design with its staggering 111 facets cut to perfection,” he says. “An added layer of interest and confidence is that these diamonds each come with certification from Las Vegas based AGS Laboratories.”

Each stone is graded by AGS Laboratories, among the best known and well respected diamond grading resources in the world. An acclaimed innovator because of its extensive research and development devoted to diamond cut is based in Las Vegas and will grade each Las Vegas Cut® diamond against its most stringent standards for quality and overall performance.

Sophisticated technological advances in the diamond design craft – when paired with masterful, experienced diamond cutting and polishing expertise – delivers sparkling results previously unimaginable. This is changing the nature of the diamond business and vaulting the offers now available for buyers. With nearly double the number of facets found in a traditional diamond, the Las Vegas Cut® attains breathtaking results. Perfectly suited to larger stones, Las Vegas Cut® diamonds are available in the range of one carat and greater. Initially, the diamonds will be sold loose through limited release exclusively at MJ Christensen in the Las Vegas Valley.

In 2010, many global financial markets performed well, albeit growing at more modest rates than the sharp rebounds seen in 2009 after 2008’s staggering losses. The number of HNWIs and their wealth also grew moderately, with HNWIs remaining more conservative than before the crisis but willing to be opportunistic in seeking yield. The global economy returned to growth, driven by strong activity in emerging economies, most notably fast-growing Asia-Pacific nations such as China and India.
