Scottsdale’s dining and nightlife scene reached a glamorous new milestone with the official opening of Wolf by Vanderpump, as Lisa Vanderpump and HCW welcomed guests to a grand opening celebration at Caesars Republic Scottsdale. The debut marked the second Wolf by Vanderpump location, introducing a new culinary and social destination to the Valley.
The December celebration brought together more than 500 guests for an evening that spanned the restaurant, rooftop pool and the 8th-floor Camelback Veranda. Attendees enjoyed elevated cuisine, handcrafted cocktails and live entertainment while experiencing the signature flair that defines the Vanderpump brand.
The red carpet was filled with familiar faces, including designer Bobby Berk, Hannah Fouch, Marciano Brunette, Sam Terry, Andre Mitchell, Hagen Bach, Alyssa Johnston, and cast members from both Vanderpump Villa and Vanderpump Rules, making the night feel equal parts glamorous and celebratory.
Located on the seventh floor, the restaurant delivers a fully immersive experience. Designed by Vanderpump Alain in collaboration with Nick Alain, the space reflects the spirit of the wolf: bold, intelligent and playful through dramatic lighting, layered textures and custom furnishings. A central bar anchors the room, while the adjoining veranda offers an open-air extension where guests can enjoy cocktails and desert views.
“We are thrilled to open Wolf by Vanderpump Scottsdale and celebrate this moment with an incredible grand opening event,” said Rick Huffman, President and CEO of HCW. “Lisa Vanderpump’s vision, paired with this spectacular setting, creates a one-of-a-kind experience.”
The menu features globally inspired dishes alongside cocktails crafted with locally influenced ingredients, while select favorites from the Lake Tahoe location appear alongside exclusive Scottsdale creations. The concept complements Caesars Republic Scottsdale’s theme, “Unleash Your Alter Ego,” inviting guests to embrace bold flavors and dramatic design.
“It’s wonderful to be in Scottsdale, we’ve been so embraced and supported by the community,” Vanderpump said. “We are excited to spend more time here. Wolf by Vanderpump has been a labor of love, and we hope to meet so many of you very soon.” Learn more at wolfbyvanderpumpscottsdale.com.
