WAKUDA

25 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas: Steakhouses, International Buffets, and More | Condé Nast Traveler

"In The Venetian’s Palazzo Tower, Tetsuya Wakuda channels Shinjuku’s buzz into a playground where traditional and contemporary Japanese techniques meet impeccable ingredients—Japanese seafood and beef, New Zealand Ora King salmon, Tasmanian oysters, Canadian lobsters. I book the main room for a splurgy night, but insiders jockey for the hidden omakase room to pair rare Japanese whisky and small‑batch sake with up to 15 courses of the chef’s choosing." - Andrea Bennett
