"For top-tier Japanese cuisine and swanky vibes, look no further than Akira Back’s Yellowtail at the Bellagio. Here, caviar adorns toro sashimi wrapped around fresh microgreens and a kochujang sauce, and the aptly-named Oysters and Ossetra offers 15 grams of caviar with six oysters. To indulge in larger-format dishes, opt for a tuna pizza with micro shiso and truffle oil, or try a sushi roll like the Popping Spicy Crab with cucumber, asparagus, and Pop Rocks." - Jennifer Smith
"Snowboarding pro turned chef Akira Back worked under Masaharu Morimoto, Brian Nagao, and Nobu Matsuhisa before bringing Yellowtail to Las Vegas. Now he has his own line of sake along with some of the best sushi in Las Vegas. A 25-by-13-foot bronze wall-mounted installation of the dorsal side of the yellowtail fish sits near the entrance, while a view of the Fountains at Bellagio accompanies the meal." - Janna Karel
"As part of the broader adoption of Nobu’s formula, Las Vegas’s Yellowtail employs the sleek-modern interiors and Nobu-style menu elements that define the Japanese-lounge category." - Matthew Kang
"A refined dining option inside a landmark resort, this restaurant blends strong service and ambiance with a focus on high-quality seafood, sushi, and premium A5 beef. Request patio seating for unobstructed views of the famous fountain shows—tables can get misted during performances—and pair a parade of fresh fish and sushi with rounds of sake for a memorable meal." - Matthew Kang
"A lakeside, modern Japanese restaurant on the Bellagio with sweeping fountain views and Korean flavor influences—its A5 grilled beef is seared to perfect medium‑rare with a light soy marinade kissed by flame—and while many dishes are excellent, the grilled beef stands out as especially juicy and tender, pairing beautifully with the dramatic dining environment." - Eater Staff
