Your Vegas Connection

Tokyo energy meets the Las Vegas Strip

WAKUDA brings chef Tetsuya Wakuda’s contemporary interpretation of Japanese cuisine to the Palazzo lobby at The Venetian Resort. The experience begins with a neon floral entrance inspired by Tokyo’s Shinjuku nightlife and unfolds through richly layered dining, lounge, terrace, and private spaces.

The restaurant is part gallery, part theater

Cherry blossoms, glowing lanterns, vivid contemporary art, dark woods, polished metal, and monumental sumo sculptures give the main dining room a strong visual identity. The design is not simply a backdrop. It shapes how guests move from the entrance into dinner, cocktails, omakase, and the Strip terrace.

Several ways to experience WAKUDA

Guests can choose the main dining room, Golden Gai Cocktail Club, outdoor terrace, private dining, or the intimate omakase room. Current menus, schedules, seating formats, pricing, and dietary accommodation should always be confirmed directly with WAKUDA.
