Retro by Voltaggio, the first Las Vegas restaurant from brothers Michael and Bryan Voltaggio, the “Top Chef” stars and restaurateurs, is now accepting reservations for its May 3 debut in Mandalay Bay. The one-year culinary residency replaces Aureole, the restaurant opened more than 20 years ago by chef Charlie Palmer, a mentor to the brothers.

“It has been our goal to open a restaurant in Las Vegas for many years, and to see it start to all come together in such an exciting way has been a dream come true,” Bryan Voltaggio said.

Retro celebrates the ’80s and ’90s with modern takes on classic dishes like Caesar salad, a shrimp cocktail, pot roast and lobster Thermidor. The restaurant also will feature a themed cocktail list, entertainment, art pieces and hit music soundtracks of the decades.

Retro will be open 4 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Reservations: mandalaybay.mgmresorts.com/en/restaurants/retro-by-voltaggio.html. Aureole closes after service April 14.
