After a decade-long run at Sahara Las Vegas, Chef José Andrés's acclaimed steakhouse Bazaar Meat is returning to the Las Vegas Strip. The restaurant will reopen on September 4 at The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort, marking a relocation for the dining destination.
New Home at The Venetian
The steakhouse closed its original location on July 31 and will find its new home according to 963 KKLZ on the lower level of the Palazzo, taking over the space formerly occupied by Dal Toro Ristorante. This strategic move positions the restaurant within one of the Strip's most prestigious dining corridors.
The relocation comes as part of The Venetian's $1.5 billion reinvestment project aimed at revitalizing the property. "Now is the time to start an exciting new chapter with our partners at The Venetian," shared Sam Bakhshandehpour, CEO of José Andrés Group, in a statement to The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
Venetian's Steakhouse Renaissance
The arrival of Bazaar Meat further strengthens The Venetian's growing reputation as a premier steakhouse destination. The resort already houses establishments by renowned chefs Emeril Lagasse and Wolfgang Puck, and will soon welcome additional high-end dining options including the Michelin-starred Cote and Southern California's Boa Steakhouse. "The addition of Bazaar Meat represents the continued evolution of dining at The Venetian Resort, further strengthening our position as Las Vegas's culinary leader," said Patrick Nichols, president and chief executive officer of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, as per The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
The Bazaar Meat Experience
As mentioned by The Bazaar, Bazaar Meat is "a wild celebration of the carnivorous—where bold flavors, theatrical flair, and inventive techniques redefine the modern steakhouse." The restaurant has long been recognized for its innovative approach to meat preparation and theatrical dining experience.
The new location will maintain the restaurant's signature live-fire cookery and theatrical ambiance that made the original location a standout destination. The James Beard award-winning chef's restaurant continues to offer what has been described as a wild and wonderful celebration of the carnivorous dining experience.
Industry Impact
Bakhshandehpour believes this move will have broader implications for Las Vegas dining, stating "I really think what is happening with the Venetian will change the Las Vegas landscape as a whole, in particular, on the food and beverage side," as noted by 963 KKLZ. The relocation reflects broader trends in Las Vegas's dining evolution, where established restaurants are increasingly migrating to premium locations.
With reservations now being accepted for the September 4 reopening, culinary enthusiasts can once again experience José Andrés's innovative approach to steakhouse dining. The move represents not just a change of address, but a new chapter for one of Las Vegas's most distinctive dining destinations.
