The elegant Nobu restaurant at Caesars Palace is also the world’s largest, at 11,000 square feet. The sleek design incorporates a variety of stone, wood, metal and fabric in a modern style.

Matching the extensive dining areas is an equally extensive menu, with a ton of dishes available. Start with edamame or shishito peppers—or both. You can get a variety of both hot and cold main dishes, such as black cod butter lettuce, seafood tobanyaki, lobster shiitake salad and grilled lamb chops. If you’re in the mood for tempura, try the shrimp and vegetable.

But the sashimi, nigiri and sushi selection may be the biggest draw. It’s a doozy here, including salmon, yellowtail, sea urchin, red snapper, scallop, octopus and even Japanese wagyu on the sashimi and nigiri menu; sushi comes in both hand roll and cut styles. The variety is plentiful, with vegetable, lobster, California, spicy tuna and many others waiting for you.

An omakase tasting, where the chef sends out his choices for the night, is the way to get the best of all worlds, typically including much of the freshest offerings all across the full menu. At Nobu, you can get both a vegetarian and regular omakase tasting. (It is required that the entire party get the omakase.)

You may want to add a little alcoholic something to the meal, and boy, does Nobu ever have you covered. The restaurant offers Japanese whiskey flights amid a huge menu of brands, premium sakes and sake flights, specialty cocktails, and wine and beer. An extensive to-go menu is also available, in case you want a decadent night in.
