Nobu coming to Paris Las Vegas

A second Nobu is coming to the Las Vegas Strip – inside Paris Las Vegas.

Plans for a Nobu restaurant in the Paris hotel and casino were revealed Tuesday, in a joint press release from Caesars Entertainment and Nobu Hospitality announcing new collaborations in three cities. In addition to launching a new Nobu restaurant in Paris Las Vegas (which is owned by Caesars), the two companies are also planning new Nobu Hotel experiences within Caesars Atlantic City and the Caesars-owned Harrah’s New Orleans, as well as “a refresh of the first Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace Las Vegas.”

“We are excited to take this next step in our growing partnership with Caesars,” Nobu founders Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper are quoted as saying in the release.

When the new restaurant debuts in early 2022, it will be one of three Las Vegas Nobu restaurants – although it will be the fourth ever to open in our valley. The original Nobu Las Vegas was opened in the Hard Rock Hotel, and continues to operate within Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. When the Hard Rock shut its doors to allow for renovations for the new Virgin property, Caesars Entertainment briefly opened a Nobu within Bally’s Las Vegas to accommodate the displaced workers. Unfortunately, that restaurant shuttered during the initial COVID shutdown, and never reopened. Nobu did reopen within Virgin, however, after undergoing a facelift that created a larger bar, lounge area and dining room. 

The world’s first Nobu Hotel was opened in Las Vegas in 2013, in a renovated Caesars Palace hotel tower. Among its highlights were an exclusive room service menu, a massive ground-floor Nobu restaurant and the stunning Nobu Villa on its rooftop. In October of 2018, DeNiro and Matsuhisa celebrated its fifth anniversary, and announced a ten-year extension of the partnership. Today’s announcement revealed “plans to begin a multimillion-dollar refresh of its guest rooms and public areas, set to be complete by the end of 2021.” That refresh will get underway next month.

Nobu Hotel Atlantic City is projected to open next summer. The Nobu Hotel New Orleans, and its accompanying restaurant, are expected to follow in 2024, within the Caesars New Orleans resort that will replace Harrah’s New Orleans.

Buddy V bringing TWO new concepts to The LINQ

Image
Chef and baker Buddy Valastro, who already operates three Las Vegas businesses and multiple cake vending machines on The Strip, has two more concepts coming to The LINQ Hotel and Linq Promenade. And he’ll be channeling his home state of New Jersey at both. Speaking to the Food and Loathing podcast at his Grand Canal Shoppes Italian eatery Buddy V’s , Valastro shared some details on the previously announced Boss Café, and spilled the beans on another upcoming outpost that will be called Buddy’s Jersey Eats. Valastro says The Boss Café will be focused on a pair of items: pizza, and fresh mozzarella (which will be made on site and incorporated into signature sandwiches). “I have a new pizza that I’m going to be launching,” he explains. “I’m coining (the name for) it, bakery pizza.” “It’s kind of like a pan pizza. It’s a cross between, let’s call it a Sicilian and a focaccia. And I’m doing it kinda upside down. So I’m going to top it with mozzarella and provolone, so you get that nice sh

Chef James Trees has big plans for the next year and a half. Esther’s Kitchen is moving. Its current location will be converted to an upscale French bistro. And its current prep room and storage area could become an Italian grocery. For those who missed the livestream, those are just few of the things Trees told the Food and Loathing podcast at Tony Gemignani’s International Pizza Expo pre-party Sunday night at the Downtown Pizza Rock location. (For those who want to catch up, you can hear all of the details on Ep 43 of the podcast, “PizzaLeftovers (Again)”   -- or just keep reading for the bullet points.) Trees began by confirming that he’s purchasing the building on the corner of Main and California Streets that has was home to the Retro Vegas antique/furniture store. “We have the great neighbors Bill and Bob who have been part of the downtown scene since the early 90s, since they bought the property at Retro Vegas,” James said of that deal. “They are now ready to retire,
