Nothing tastes better than new, especially when it comes to Vegas dining. Here are three culinary contributors to The Strip’s eating and drinking scene that are soon to open or have recently debuted.
Cote, America’s first and only Michelin-star Korean steakhouse, will open at The Venetian Resort in 2025. You might as well make a reservation now, as Cote has already developed a major following in New York, Miami, and Singapore. It takes the conviviality of Korean BBQ and blends it with the beloved vibe of the classic American steakhouse. Expect major beef such as A5 wagyu from Kobe, Sendai, and Miyazaki to 45, 90, and 120-day aged steak. The scene unfolds with dramatic lighting, a dry-aging room, in-table smokeless grills, a tiered dining area inspired by a theater with skybox private dining rooms, immersive lighting, and a DJ booth. venetianlasvegas.com
Washing Potato made a striking entrance into the Vegas dining scene with the opening of Fontainebleau in December 2023. Its design, reminiscent of a hovering spaceship, is as intriguing as the dim sum it serves. Created by Hakkasan restaurateur Alan Yau, the theatrics of the room are only upstaged by the har gow, shumai, spring rolls, and roast duck. Open all day, this unique dining experience is a must-try. fontainebleaulasvegas.com
Because sometimes we drink our dinner, as part of a major revamp at the Rio, the Wine Cellar Tasting Room has reopened. The cave-like setting not only transports you straight to wine country but also provides an immersive experience, thanks to their wine experts who guide you on a tasting journey around the world without ever leaving Rio. riolasvegas.com
