Vegas’s most theatrical steakhouse officially reopens September 4, 2025, trading its Sahara home for prime real estate in the Palazzo’s lower level.
Bazaar Meat by José Andrés will reopen September 4, 2025, at The Venetian Resort’s Palazzo, marking the end of a brief closure that left Vegas diners eagerly awaiting its return. The acclaimed steakhouse shuttered its Sahara location on July 31, relocating to the former Dal Toro space as part of the Venetian’s massive $1.5 billion property transformation.
Same Team, New Stage
Original staff and signature spectacle move intact to busier Strip location.
The restaurant’s DNA remains untouched. The same bar team that crafted your cocktails and floor staff who guided you through 12-course tasting menus are making the move. Those signature live-fire grills that turn dinner into dinner theater? They’re coming too, along with a refreshed interior design that José Andrés promises will be “almost more Vegas than Vegas.”
Executive Chef Frank Medina plans to debut new menu items exclusive to the Palazzo opening, though details remain under wraps until launch.
Key highlights staying put:
- Washugyu bone-in ribeye (Japanese Tajima wagyu crossed with Black Angus)
- Foie gras wrapped in cotton candy
- Croquetas de pollo served in a translucent sneaker
- Jamón Ibérico tacos on nori
Prime Strip Real Estate
New location positions Bazaar Meat closer to Sphere and convention traffic.
The Palazzo placement isn’t just about square footage—it’s strategic positioning. You’ll find Bazaar Meat steps away from the Sphere, Venetian convention spaces, and heavier foot traffic than the Sahara ever delivered. This puts Andrés in direct competition with an increasingly crowded steakhouse scene at the Venetian, which soon hosts Emeril Lagasse’s Delmonico Steakhouse, Wolfgang Puck’s Cut, Michelin-starred Cote, and Southern California’s Boa Steakhouse.
That’s Netflix-level content density for carnivores.
During the transition, Bazaar Mar has been serving select Bazaar Meat favorites to bridge the gap for regulars. Reservations for the September 4, 2025 reopening are now available through the restaurant’s website, and advance booking remains essential for anyone serious about experiencing Andrés’s “temple of theatrical carnivory” in its new Vegas incarnation.
