| - When it's over a hundred degrees outside, Japanese food in a heavily air conditioned facility is hard to beat. Inside my hotel du jour, the Cosmo, this is one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas. It's pricey, but so are most things in Vegas, the tourist trap to end all tourist traps -- and likely the only one that you can confess to enjoying without feeling completely embarrassed.
When trying a new place, I like to surprise myself with the chirashi (typically described as a "chef's selection of sashimi over rice"). I don't know what I expected but was very pleasantly surprised, even slightly blown away: it was awesome. The tako sunomono, octopus and cucumber in a vinegar sauce, is a good choice as well. Throw in an Asahi or two and you're set!
An excellent bar and sake selection can be found here, if that's your kind of expensive hobby. Service has been excellent every time I've been here, though this could be related to the fact that I have little to no self-control in restaurant scenarios.
