  • Considering how much time I've spent at the Palms over the years--including too many stays to count--It's amazing it took me until recently to walk inside this cousin of the Buddha Bar chain. Something about the entrance nestled between Gardunos Mexican and the Rain nightclub makes it seem like an afterthought. That's too bad, because behind the heavy doors is an amazing space--a sunken circular room that transports you to a lost world of exotic Asian opulence, dominated by black lacquer, firey reds and golden Buddha statues. While upbeat mood music stirs the soul, you practically expect a silk-robed sage with sharpened fingernails and a Manchurian mustache to approach you with an opium pipe. To the rear is a lavish bar with bolstered stools one could spend hours upon; beyond is a more modern room dominated by a dramatic sushi bar. Like TAO across town, the connection of a decadent den to Buddhism is lost on me--but this is Vegas, overthinking is distinctly discouraged. The creative cocktails aren't all that impressive, but they do have a respectable sake selection. Careful choices from the pan-Asian menu will satisfy you. Steamed seafood dumplings offer a mélange of shrimp and scallop, drizzled with lobster bisque and an eel reduction far from average Dim Sum fare. But the must-have appetizer would be the unlikely sounding big eye tuna pizza, thin slices of deep red fish garnished with heirloom tomatoes, garlic chips and wasabi aioli on a fried flour tortilla. Of the creative sushi offerings, a jalapeno yellowtail presentation with yuzu and tosazu sauce is as gorgeous to eat as to look at. And for a truly decadent delight, don't miss George's Lobster Roll (named for the Palms Prez): tempura shrimp rolled with avocado and marinated lobster. Don't fill up on the intro courses and miss the entrees though--they are some of the strongest offerings. The slow braised Kobe short ribs are so juicy they disintegrate under a fork; delicately broiled Misoyaki black cod, served over a squash puree, and dynamite baked sea scallops are two other strong stand outs.
