Andres Bistro & Bar Continues Chef Andre Rochat’s Las Vegas Legacy


Having earned his degree in economics at the University of Connecticut (UConn), Suffield, CT, day trader Dan Sapienza emphasizes the use of research-based techniques in obtaining consistent profits, regardless of stock market conditions. UConn graduate Dan Sapienza enjoys travel to destinations such as Chicago and Las Vegas in his free time. He particularly enjoys sampling food at the popular local eateries of the destinations he visits. 

One of the mainstays of the Las Vegas dining scene over the past three decades has been chef Andre Rochat, who established his first eatery on Sixth Street in downtown in 1980. He went on to pioneer fine French dining on the Strip and planted roots at the Monte Carlo casino that lasted for decades. 

Announcing his retirement in 2016, Chef Rochat did not leave the Las Vegas culinary scene altogether. He gave his name to Andres Bistro & Bar, which opened as a production of the Stacked Hospitality nightlife group. Helmed by chef Scott Sampson, the restaurant is described as continuing Chef Rochat’s legacy of quality French dining and includes an extensive wine list and a number of classics on the menu, from bouillabaisse to Andre’s Burger. At the same time, it features a casual “neighborhood bistro” ambiance at a more affordable price point than its predecessor.
