Boa Steakhouse has slipped back onto the Las Vegas Strip, opening a glossy new outpost inside the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and bringing its trademark tableside showmanship to a fresh crowd. The California-born steakhouse is staging a full-scale comeback in Las Vegas after more than a decade away, reviving its high-end steak program for a new era of Strip diners.
According to BOA Steakhouse, the restaurant is now operating on the mall's second level, with dinner service listed Sunday through Thursday from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Eater Vegas first flagged the brand's Strip return and noted that Boa's previous Forum Shops location closed in 2012 before the company began planning its comeback.
What’s On The Menu
The Las Vegas menu mixes Boa's greatest hits with a few Vegas-only touches, leaning into seafood, polished tableside service and a sizable lineup of steaks. Recent coverage highlights hamachi crudo with shaved black truffles, deviled eggs finished with Kaluga caviar, roasted bone marrow brûléed at the table and the signature tableside Caesar as standout starters. On the steak front, options range from a 40-day dry-aged New York strip to cuts from Creekstone Farms and Westholme Australian Wagyu, with Japanese A5 offered by the ounce, as reported by Las Vegas Weekly.
Why Boa Leaned Back Into Vegas
Boa's Las Vegas return is framed as part nostalgia play, part calculated Strip move, with the brand looking to blend its California cool identity with the city's taste for spectacle. Innovative Dining Group leadership has described the Venetian location as a natural fit for the property's heavy foot traffic. Lee Maen, IDG's founder and co-CEO, told Forbes, “Las Vegas has always been a natural fit for Boa.”
Practical Details For Visitors
Reservations are available through BOA Steakhouse, where the restaurant also notes a “proper attire” policy for dinner service and lists its address and phone number for booking. The Grand Canal Shoppes listing points to private dining rooms and evening-centric hours that position Boa as a later-night option for Strip tourists and convention groups.

How It Fits Into The Strip’s Dining Scene
Boa's October-through-November debut is one of several headline-grabbing restaurant openings shaping the Las Vegas dining scene in 2025, arriving alongside other big-name steakhouse moves at The Venetian and elsewhere on the Strip. Local critics and year-end roundups have included Boa among the openings that signal a renewed appetite for destination steakhouses in the city. The Las Vegas Review-Journal cataloged Boa as one of the year's top debuts.
