We were all bummed when we heard Bazaar Meat by José Andrés’ SAHARA Las Vegas location would be closing in the summer of 2025, but that effect wore off quickly when it was announced the restaurant was simply moving to a newly renovated space at The Venetian Resort. And boy, have they ever outdone themselves!
Even before you’re sitting and enjoying the first bites of your meal, the experience is made extraordinary by an unbeatable ambience. Warm soft light emanates from a stunning pattern of bulbs that covers the entire ceiling without overexposing the moody red dining room, while plush booths and comfortable chairs offer the chance to settle in for what will be nothing less than exceptional.
If you’ve previously visited Bazaar Meat, you’ll recognize many favorites that have transferred over from the previous iteration of the restaurant. Really, the best way to do it here is a tasting menu like José’s Ultimate Tasting or The Bazaar Tasting Menu, because there are far too many dishes on this menu; you’ll want to order a la carte.
Both tasting menus include takes on the chef’s signature caviar cones. And come on, it would be sacrilegious to visit an Andrés restaurant and not enjoy one of these! You’ll also score some tableside treats like the Caesar salad and the beef tartare before digging into satisfying mains like fire-roasted king crab and Japanese A5 wagyu. Oh, and don’t skip the veggies; the piquillo peppers are to die for.
You’ve already splurged on the meal, so it’s absolutely worthwhile to elevate the evening with an experiential cocktail. If light and floral is your vibe, order the Floral Cloud, a pretty, purple gin-based cocktail with lemon, maraschino liqueur and creme de violette served with a hibiscus rose cloud that makes the drink look like it came straight out of a fairy tale. Or for the savory beverage babes, summon the martini cart, where you will get to choose your liquor, your mixer, your essence and your garnish to make a martini that’s perfect for you.
