This week, Gracious Hospitality Management announced plans to open a new outpost of its Michelin-starred COTE Korean Steakhouse concept on the Las Vegas Strip. The brand’s first West Coast location will open in 2025 at the Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
The brand, which has locations in New York, Miami, and Singapore, promises a new restaurant that is “infused with the opulence and grandeur of Sin City,” offering “the highest quality cuts of beef, ranging from A5 wagyu from Kobe, Sendai, and Miyazaki to 45, 90, and 120-day aged steak.”
“I went to UNLV and my first formative job in the world of hospitality was in Las Vegas so opening a COTE in this entertainment epicenter is more than just any traditional opening—it’s a triumphant homecoming,” Simon Kim, founder and chief executive officer of Gracious Hospitality Management, said in a press release. “While COTE Korean Steakhouse is a concept I created in NYC, the pulsating energy, music and entertainment of Las Vegas has always been intertwined in our brand’s DNA, and we’re taking that to the next level with this opening.”
The new location will be designed by David Rockwell and Rockwell Group, which has partnered with Gracious Hospitality Management for several other concepts.
“We’re proud to welcome COTE and it’s an honor for The Venetian to be the flagship location for COTE’s highly anticipated West Coast debut,” Patrick Nichols, president and chief executive officer of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, said in the press release. “COTE’s arrival further cements our position as the leader in chef-driven restaurants and world-class culinary experiences on the Las Vegas Strip and exemplifies a new era for The Venetian as we embark on our $1.5 billion transformational re-investment project.”
