Fancy & Fresh doesn't really sum up Kabuto Edomae Sushi in Las Vegas. Detailed is more like it. Adventurous. Delicious. Amber has a thing for Japanese food so Vegas was an easy sell. She wasn't that excited about smoke-filled casinos or the busyness of the strip…but so many great restaurants in one town? Great Japanese restaurants? Now we're talking. Kabuto is arguably one of the best sushi restaurants in the country. The restaurant is small and simple, located in Vegas' China town, miles from the strip. There isn't much signage, no big advertisements. Kabuto is located in a nondescript little strip mall (did I just invent a new word? Nondestrip mall?). With one entrance, one skinny window, and one portable lantern sign (they even bring it in each night), you almost feel like you've discovered hidden treasure when you walk up to the restaurant and peek inside. The freshest of the fresh ingredients are flown in from Japan each day. The menu has essentially 3 multi-course dinner options priced from $48 to $120. The food is amazing and the service unbelievable. It's like the sushi chefs are quietly watching your every move. When you finish one course they have the next prepared. We recommend sitting at the bar to get a front row seat at the amazing knife and preparation skills of the chefs. Anytime we're in Vegas (next month!) we're heading back to Kabuto!

It turns out the wifey and I love Vegas. We're not that into gambling or the shows really. I guess it's the vibe. It's the restaurants. It's the cheap flights in and out. It's how close Vegas is to National Parks. It's that most hotel staff say "yes" to almost everything. The security guards are nice. People always talk to you in the hotel elevators. Folks are friendly here. On this trip we stayed at the Palazzo - a giant casino/hotel/resort connected to the Venetian (which is built where the iconic Sands used to be). It's a gorgeous building with great rooms and right on the strip. Even if you don't stay at the Venetian or Palazzo, make sure to get your morning coffee and pastries from Thomas Keller's Bouchon (in the Venetian facing the street/sidewalk). It's so good and so affordable (as opposed to the Vegas priced Starbucks across the street). Also, know that the strip is truly magical from sunrise to about 8:30 am. Most of my outdoor pictures were taken during this window. No pesky advertisers and crowds stopping you on the sidewalks. Strip vehicle traffic isn't actually that bad unless there is construction, so driving is an option if you've got a rent-a-car. Parking in most of the casino garages is free:) So, try your luck and visit Sin City! Until then: enjoy the slideshow below with more pics from our few days on the strip:) ~Paul, Amber, Sis ETC |
