Nearly two years later, Emmitt’s has still not opened. Vegas restaurant watchers have been asking for at least a year: Why the long delay? A lawsuit filed...

Trilogy refers to Trilogy F&B Group LLC, one of four entities, according to the complaint, that entered into an operating agreement in October 2021 to “develop, design, own and operate restaurants, lounges and entertainment venues under the name of ‘Emmitt’s.’"Smith’s limited liability company is one of the entities.

The complaint further alleges these defendants “unlawfully assigned Trilogy’s lease to Valley Water Mill,” while also forming a new corporate entity “to replace Chef Rainer LLC and usurp its rights under the Management Agreement, including by engaging alternate vendors and contractors.”According to the complaint, these contractors include Gillett Construction LLC of Vegas, which is also named as a defendant, along with president and CEO Darren Gillett.

According to the complaint, Chef Rainer LLC has incurred, to date, more than $2.2 million in costs related to the opening of Emmitt’s. Among these costs are staff hiring, vendor contracts, almost $700,000 in kitchen equipment, utilities, tableware and stemware, and the design and commission of a decorative ceiling and a “grand central staircase.”Advertisement

Chef Rainer LLC also argues that unless defendants are enjoined, it will not receive more than $67 million in salary and profit sharing it is entitled to under the management agreement. The plaintiff also filed a motion to enjoin the defendants from engaging in activities related to opening or operating Emmitt’s, from saying they have the right to enter or conduct activities in the restaurant, from saying the plaintiff lacks this right, and from taking steps to prevent Chef Rainer LLC from exercising its rights under the management agreement.
