“This is a concept we have been wanting to do on the Las Vegas Strip now for sometime. We’re extremely excited and honored to have the opportunity to create such a unique venue space,” says Jason Craig, Clique Hospitality partner.

A throwback grooming parlor by day, The Barbershop will be led by master barber Jose Sosa and his nationally renowned grooming team. With appointments available online and walk-ins welcomed, guests can kick back in a barber’s chair for a classic cut, beard trim or straight razor shave.
