The vibe: With a Nobu Hotel attached, the Caesars Palace location has become the chef’s signature restaurant in Las Vegas. Cloud-like lanterns hang over a large space containing dark woods and booths hidden in nooks for privacy. A circular bar is perfect for those on the go.
The food: Known for marrying traditional Japanese cuisine with Peruvian ingredients, chef Nobu has been successful in introducing new concepts and for his consistency in the signature dishes, diners keep coming back for. Both his miso black cod and the yellowtail jalapeno dishes are as legendary as the chef himself. And you can’t go wrong with the rock shrimp tempura and an order of Wagyu gyoza.
The drink: Stellar sake, lots of Japanese whisky and cocktails like the Lychee and Elderflower Martini and a Lemongrass Mule perfectly complement the food.
Time Out tip: The Caesars location is the only Nobu with a Teppanyaki grill. The omakase menu ($250) is a multi-course meal featuring dishes such as Hokkaido scallops, Jidori chicken, and A5 Wagyu.
