Nobu Las Vegas (Caesars Palace)

Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, born in Saitama, Japan, revolutionized global Japanese cuisine by fusing it with South American ingredients from his years in Peru, creating the Nikkei style that now bears his name. The Caesars Palace outpost — opened in 2013 within the dedicated Nobu Hotel — is among the most high-profile of his global restaurants, drawing celebrities, food enthusiasts, and Strip visitors seeking his signature black cod with miso, yellowtail jalapeño, and toro tataki. Matsuhisa personally visits Las Vegas to conduct masterclasses and maintain culinary standards, and the kitchen operates under his direct philosophy. The sleek dining room and bar capture the understated luxury of the Nobu aesthetic, while the extensive omakase and cocktail programs keep the experience current. Named in the Las Vegas Review-Journal Top 100 Restaurants in 2024, Nobu at Caesars remains the most iconic Japanese restaurant on the Strip.
