After a long period of rumors and promises, news finally broke that “Salt Bae” restaurateur Nusret Gökçe would bring his international premium steakhouse brand Nusr-Et Steakhouse to The Park back in December 2020. Eater Las Vegas later reported, in April of last year, that hiring had already begun for the new restaurant, with the expectation of a 2021 opening.
No 2021 opening eventuated; however, Nusret Las Vegas LLC has recently filed for a business license with Clark County in the expected location: Suite D-5, a space which has been vacant since The Park first opened. The license is still pending at the time of this writing. An opening should be expected very soon.
So, salt sprinklings and viral videos aside: what can guests expect to experience at Nusr-Et Steakhouse’s Las Vegas Outpost?
The restaurant offers premium food at premium prices—after all, it’s famous for giant wagyu steaks covered in 24-karat gold leaf and priced in the hundreds of dollars. The London location’s menu opens with Starters & Salads, offering Beef Carpaccio, salads like the Wedge Salad and Beetroot & Stilton Salad, and, with characteristic extravagance, a £60 Smoked Ribeye. From there we move to the restaurant’s sushi offerings and its Seafood Starters, which include Grilled King Prawns and Spicy Akami Tuna Tartare.
“From the Char-Grill,” we get the magic Nusr-Et is known for: the Lokum (sliced Wagyu tenderloin), the Saltbae Tomahawk (highly marbled, mustard marinated Wagyu bone in rib-eye), and, most extravagantly, the Giant Striploin, a 2-kg high-grade Wagyu striploin priced at £680.
It is still unknown when Las Vegas Nusr-Et Steakhouse will open its doors, but there’s no doubt that, when it does, it will be unforgettable.
