Cool, Hip Japanese Resto / Lounge for 30 Somethings???

Hi there,

A group of us (30-somethings) are heading down to Vegas in November.

Can anyone recommend a cool, hip, happening place for Japanese food? Something similar to Morimoto in New York City would be awesome.

Tao. Perhaps Asian and not necessarily Japanese and the food isn%26#39;t Iron Chef worthy but it%26#39;s good and it%26#39;s cool and hip.

You might look at Nobu in the Hard Rock - after all Nobu Matsuhisa is the guy who took a chance on Morimoto years ago.

Two suggestions:

Social House at TI. Check out their website. It%26#39;s hard to describe. Almost like the Japanese equivalent of Tapas with amazing flavors and dishes.

Okada at Wynn. A fantastic setting with an equally diverse menu.

Both will probably set you back some cash, but if you%26#39;re comparing to Morimoto, then you%26#39;re not looking for a bargain.

Yellowtail is the new sushi restaurant at Bellagio. It%26#39;s owned by the Lightgroup (known for restaurants and nightclubs in Vegas.) The chef is Akira Back, who worked with Morimoto in the past. The sushi and sake there are great, the decor is nice, and you can get a view of the fountains if you are lucky.

I agree with the suggestion for Social House at TI. We love their food, drinks and atmosphere. Very hip vibe and the food has always been consistently great.
