Nobu Las Vegas Menu — What to Order & Prices
Published
The verdict. Book the $250 omakase at Caesars Palace and order the black cod with miso — Vegas's benchmark Japanese-Peruvian counter.
What the Nobu Las Vegas Menu Actually Is
Nobu Las Vegas sits inside Caesars Palace at 3570 Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip, and it runs the Japanese-Peruvian playbook that Nobuyuki Matsuhisa built in Los Angeles in the 1990s. The menu splits into cold dishes, hot dishes, sushi and sashimi, tempura, and the tasting route: an omakase at $250 per person where the kitchen sends courses in sequence until you stop. Our Nobu Las Vegas review and scores place it among the Strip's serious rooms rather than its spectacle-only ones.
What to Order at Nobu Las Vegas
Start with the two dishes that made the brand. The black cod with miso is the signature: fish marinated three days in sweet saikyo miso, then broiled until it caramelises and flakes apart. The yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno, thin slices in yuzu soy with a coin of chilli on each, is the other order nobody at the table regrets. From there, the tiradito reads the Peruvian half of the kitchen, and the rock shrimp tempura is the crowd dish for a group. If you want the clearest read on what the counter can do, take the omakase and let the itamae choose.
The kitchen stops serving omakase after 9pm, so book a seating no later than 8:30pm if the tasting is the point. A la carte, expect roughly $75 a head before the cod, the sushi rounds and the sake push it well past that.
When to Go and How to Book
Prime Strip nights fill quickly, and the counter seats are the ones to want. Our guide to booking a Nobu Las Vegas table covers the release window, the counter-versus-dining-room call and the omakase cut-off. For a calmer meal, an early weeknight seating beats a Saturday at 9pm.
The Smart Play
For a milestone or a client night, book the counter and take the omakase; for a lighter visit, sit in the dining room, order the cod, the yellowtail and two rounds of sushi, and drink sake by the glass. It is a strong Vegas room for impressing clients, for closing a deal over dinner, or for a birthday with a group. Compare it against the wider Japanese fine-dining field and the best sushi counters worldwide before you commit the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should you order at Nobu Las Vegas?
Order the black cod with miso first — it is the dish that built the brand, marinated three days in sweet saikyo miso and broiled until it caramelises. Add the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno and a tiradito to read the Japanese-Peruvian split, then a round of sushi. If you would rather not choose, the $250 omakase lets the counter send courses in sequence. Our Nobu Las Vegas review scores each section.
How much is the omakase at Nobu Las Vegas?
As of 2026 the omakase at Nobu Caesars Palace is $250 per person before drinks, tax and tip, and the kitchen stops serving it after 9pm. A la carte you should expect roughly $75 a head, but the black cod, a few sushi rounds and sake push the real bill well past that. Book a counter seat no later than 8:30pm if the omakase is your reason for coming.
What is Nobu's signature dish?
Black cod with miso is Nobu's signature dish and has been since Nobuyuki Matsuhisa opened his first Los Angeles room. The fillet is cured for three days in a sweet saikyo miso marinade, then broiled so the outside lacquers and the inside flakes apart. It appears on the Las Vegas menu alongside the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno, the other order the kitchen is known for.
Where is Nobu in Las Vegas?
Nobu sits inside Caesars Palace at 3570 Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip, with its own bar and lounge attached. There is a separate, smaller Nobu at Paris Las Vegas, so confirm you are booking the Caesars Palace room. Our Las Vegas dining guide places it among the city's serious counters, and our booking guide covers reaching the reservations line.
Is Nobu Las Vegas worth it?
For a benchmark Japanese-Peruvian meal on the Strip, most diners say yes, provided you order the signatures rather than grazing the wider menu. The black cod and the yellowtail with jalapeno are the reason to come, and the omakase at $250 is the clearest read on the counter. It is a special-occasion and client-dinner room, not an everyday one — see our impress-clients tables if that is the brief.
