Opportunities for career growth

Summer House is the place where summer never ends. Upon opening in late 2023 at the new Durango Casino & Resort in southwest Las Vegas, the restaurant will offer lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch services with both indoor and outdoor dining options. The California-inspired menu is reminiscent of the overall Summer House brand and features simple ingredients sourced from local grower partnerships and sustainable products. It includes Cali-style tacos, fresh salads and vegetable plates, housemade pasta and pizzas crafted with California-milled flour, entrees from the live-fire wood grill, and more. Rosé is poured all day off the signature Rosé Cart, featuring the signature Summer House Rosé, with an extensive wine and handcrafted cocktail list. The Market, positioned at the front of the restaurant, will provide to-go coffee, juices, and light breakfast items alongside Summer House's signature baked goods, pastries, and famous oversized cookies.

Currently, Summer House has full-service locations in Chicago, IL, North Bethesda, MD, airport locations in Chicago, Charlotte, NC, and Orlando, FL, and will open an additional full-service location in late 2023 at Disney Springs in Lake Buena Vista, FL alongside the new Las Vegas location. No matter the weather, the bright and airy vibes always fill the atmosphere. Whether you’re in for date night, a family get-together, or brunch with friends, summer is waiting for you on the other side.
