Tropical Plants & Ivy at Bobby Flay's Shark Lounge Restaurant
Bobby Flay Palms Casino Coconut Creek
Restaurant plants can add color and life to any eatery. TreeScapes & PlantWorks were pleased to provide replica plants for Bobby Flay's newest Vegas restaurant, Shark Lounge.
Bobby Flay's new restaurant - Shark, at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas - features an array of seafood dishes. 'GMA' recently visited to learn how to make the whole grilled lobster with red. Bobby Flay has been cooking professionally for over 30 years. He is Chef/Owner of GATO in New York City, Mesa Grill at Caesar Palace in Las Vegas, Shark at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas and Bobby Flay Steak at Borgata in Atlantic City. For over 20 years, Mr. Flay has had various programs on Food Network, including Iron Chef America and Beat. In March of 2019, Chef Bobby Flay will debut Shark, a fish restaurant with extensive sushi and raw bar offerings, all heavily influenced by South America, Mexico, and the Mediterranean. Together, these four Palms Casino restaurants offer diners a wealth of options.
The chef's first new restaurant in five years (and first high end restaurant in fifteen years) had to be spectacular – especially by Las Vegas standards!
The food there is described as 'Seafood and Sushi with a Latin beat', and the name was inspired by existing artwork at Palms Casino Resort:
Damien Hirst's controversial shark sculpture in Unknown Bar at the center of the Palms inspired the name. 'When I saw the shark, I knew that was going to the name of the restaurant,' he says.
The artwork from British artist Damien Hirst features a 13-foot tiger shark, caught by a fisherman in Australia, and divided into three segments of steel and glass tanks, preserved in formaldehyde.
The bar gets its name from the artwork, dubbed The Unknown (Explored, Explained, Exploded) from 1999.

The restaurant design was expertly done by Rockwell Group, who have also led many other iconic hospitality projects. The Shark dining room 'was inspired by the open courtyards found in Central and South America'.
Our artificial plants factor prominently throughout the space, but the Faux Ivy is the most dramatic element:
A covered outdoor dining terrace feels like a backyard, with fabric awnings on the ceiling and vines growing on back wall. Black and white cement tiles in a random geometric pattern add a graphic, dynamic feel in contrast to the warmth of the restaurant interior.
–Rockwell Group, Palms Casino & Resort
The ivy stretches along the walls in a natural pattern that makes it seem like it's really growing inside the restaurant. We also provided additional restaurant plants: replica fishtail palms, traveler's palms, cropped grass, and fiddle leaf figs.
These plants are on display in front of the entrance, between tables, and in planter boxes throughout. Lights provided by Focus Lighting complete the rich, welcoming design.
2019 was a big year for us and restaurant plants; we provided gorgeous faux floral walls and a replica Mediterranean Olive Tree for CATCH at Aria, also in Las Vegas.

Other restaurant plant projects for us included a stunning replica cherry blossom tree for Okura Sushi in La Quinta, and artificial bougainvillea and succulents for Shaquille's in Los Angeles.
If you're seeking restaurant plants, flowers, or trees, we urge you to consider our artificial creations! Our replica and fabricated greenery require minimal maintenance (no watering!), never die or lose color, and won't trigger any allergy concerns.
Another element to consider is the scent of natural plants and flowers. These smells are often beautiful, but they can compete with the appetizing smells of food offered in your restaurant. It's the same reason many restauranteurs use unscented candles at their tables.
If you dine at Shark, be sure to stop by the Revolve x Palms pop up clothing shop nearby. The Revolve x Palms flower wall is another TreeScapes & PlantWorks creation, and it's a top selfie spot in the city!
