Veteran Hospitality Developer, Eric DeBlasi, Introduces New Concept
LAS VEGAS– June 17, 2010 – Veteran hospitality developer, Eric DeBlasi of The Medusa Group, debuts a new concept in Las Vegas. Lolita’s Cantina & Tequila Bar, an 11,500 square foot restaurant and nightclub, set to open July 9, 2010 at Town Square, is the company’s first foray in the Las Vegas market.
“Las Vegas is a vibrant and exciting city which makes it the ideal location for The Medusa Group to launch our newest concept,” said Eric DeBlasi, Founder and CEO of The Medusa Group. “Las Vegas locals are looking for a fun, festive atmosphere, off the Strip, where they can get a delicious meal and then really let loose. We’re filling that niche with Lolita’s Cantina & Tequila Bar in Town Square, by offering great tasting food and a unique nightlife scene.”
Eric DeBlasi got his start in the hospitality and nightlife industry at the age of 22. A real estate developer by trade, he purchased a building in California that housed a nightclub and restaurant. DeBlasi built a team of savvy industry experts and after running both venues, fell in love with the hospitality industry. Now, more than 20 years later, Eric DeBlasi has become one of the most prominent hospitality developers on the West Coast. Marrying his background in real estate with his love for the hospitality and nightlife industries, DeBlasi has owned more than 35 high-end restaurants, nightclubs and hotels across the United States, making him one of the most prolific single hospitality owners in the country.
“The Medusa Group has a number of projects in development with several new restaurant concepts set to debut nationally in the next two years,” said DeBlasi. “I’m pleased to present Lolita’s Cantina &Tequila Bar to Las Vegas and showcase what The Medusa Group is capable of accomplishing. We are bringing the best of your favorite party destinations, Cabo, Mazatlan and South Beach, to your backyard.
