Nobu Restaurant Las Vegas
Nobu is an iconic restaurant group with locations all over the world. Nobu Restaurant Las Vegas, located in Caesars Palace, maintains Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's signature style: a sleek interior with neutral tones and Japanese-inspired decor. Though Nobu has a slew of cooked dishes that are quite famous, such as the Wagyu tacos or black cod with miso, the sushi truly is the star of the show. From nigiri to sashimi, Nobu uses the highest quality fish to ensure freshness and premium flavor, even in the simplest creations. However, the signature sushi dishes are where it's at.
The sashimi salad with Matsuhisa dressing is a wonderful appetizer that is zesty and savory, while the crispy rice with tuna is a beloved dish that never gets old. The toro carpaccio with seasonal truffles is beyond decadent, but you can also opt for the omakase experience if you want a true taste of all that this legendary establishment has to offer.

Kaiseki Yuzu
Kaiseki Yuzu, the brainchild of Chef Kaoru Azeuchi, is a staple for Las Vegas locals looking for high-quality sushi that is consistently delicious.

The experience includes seven Osaka-style sushi omakase courses, with one course being 10 different pieces of chef's choice sushi. Since there are only six spaces at the sushi bar, expect a private and intimate dinner that will have you entirely focused on the flavors and quality of each piece of fish.
