A Michelin-starred steakhouse comes to Vegas, the revival of an over-the-top burger restaurant, and more openings to look forward to The first few months of 2025 restaurant openings in Las Vegas have already been impressive. Vegas has seen the long-awaited arrival of Jeremy Ford’s Michelin-starred Miami tasting menu restaurant, a new concept from Netflix that brings small screen shows to life in a high-production space, and a Champagne bar from renowned French restaurant Partage. Looking towards spring, the openings aren’t slowing down. The next few months are slated to bring a new food hall to the Venetian that will feature favorite restaurants from around the country to Las Vegas, a Michelin-starred steakhouse from New York, an Evel Knievel museum-adjacent pizza parlor that will probably feel like a heavy metal Chuck E. Cheese, and more. Here are nine openings to look forward to this spring in Las Vegas.

Bar Bohème
Location: Arts DistrictProjected Opening: SpringMajor Player: James Trees
Esther’s Kitchen chef James Trees is in the midst of opening a slate of new dining destinations, including the forthcoming French Bistro Bar Bohème. The adjacent Parisian bar, Petit Boheme, opened in January 2025, serving cocktails like the J’accuse with an absinthe rinse in a spray-painted industrial space. When Bar Boheme opens, staff will carry baguettes from Esther’s to the restaurant to be served alongside classic and modern French fare.
Cantina Contramar
Location: FontainebleauProjected Opening: SpringMajor Player: Gabriela Cámara, Bertha González Nieves
Gabriela Cámara, the chef of renowned Mexico City seafood restaurant Contramar, is bringing her cooking and signature dishes to a Cantina Contramar at the Fontainebleau this spring. The restaurant is opening in partnership with Bertha González Nieves, the founder of Tequila Casa Dragones and first maestra tequilera, and will be designed by award-winning architect Frida Escobedo. Expect dishes like tangy tuna tostadas and grilled whole fish with red and green sauce alongside other Mexican classics from Cámara.
Cote
Location: The VenetianProjected Opening: SpringMajor Player: Simon Kim
America’s first Michelin-starred steakhouse, Cote, is debuting in Nevada in the Venetian Resort Las Vegas this spring. The New York-based steakhouse currently has outposts in Miami and Singapore. Founded by Seoul-born restaurateur Simon Kim, Cote is known for its high-quality cuts of beef including dry-aged New York strip, filet mignon, and American wagyu ribeye. The New York location also offers a full menu of reserve cuts from Japan with wagyu from the Miyazaki, Miyagi, Kagoshima, and Hyogo prefectures. The signature Butcher’s Feast comes with a spread of USDA Prime and American Wagyu beef, plus banchan, kimchi stew, scallion salad with gochugaru vinaigrette, and vanilla ice cream topped with soy sauce caramel. The 10,00 square-foot Vegas location, which will open near the Venetian’s waterfall atrium, is set to feature upscale private dining rooms, an impressive central bar, and DJ booth.
Doberman
Location: Arts DistrictProjected Opening: AprilMajor Players: Juyoung Kang, Ryan Doherty
One of Las Vegas’s most exciting new drinking dens, Doberman, will place its bets on a structure that falls somewhere between an upscale bar and members club when it opens this spring. The bar comes from Corner Bar Management, the team behind bars like the Laundry Room and Commonwealth. For a $750 initiation fee and $3,000 a year, members will have access to private spaces, no-reservation tables, a complimentary monthly bottle of wine, and other perks in the opulent, but still tasteful, space. Juyoung Kang (Collins Bar, Laundry Room, Corner Bar) leads the bar as the beverage manager, whipping up drinks like a Thai tom kha inspired fizz and the Big in Japan, a kefir-washed clarified punch. Non-members will also be able to imbibe, but Corner Bar Management founder Ryan Doherty says members will have a more hands-on experience. “If a member sits down next to a non-member, you’ll definitely see more of a fuss made over the member,” he says. “Bites and munchies, members will just have dropped at the table right away, as opposed to having to order them.”

Expect cracker crust pies, beer in Viking horn glasses, pinball machines, and retro arcade games. To really complete the Chuck E. Cheese tribute, the pizza shop will include an animatronic heavy metal b
