The ONLY reason I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because they do have pretty good sushi. HOWEVER - the hype about this place is so overdone that the staff has a huge attitude and they do not know how to treat guests.
My husband and I went around 7:30 on a Thursday night. We were staying at the Venetian (the hotel connected to the restaurant), made reservations for both the restaurant and the nightclub. After waiting an HOUR we finally got a table. The place was dark, loud, and the layout made you feel very crowded. It was difficult to see what we were eating, let alone have a conversation. We dropped about $400 on dinner (we were celebrating and had a bottle of Veuve).
After dinner was over, we said we had reservations for the nightclub, the entrance to the club was literally 20 feet from our table. Well, we had to get up, go outside the club, stand in a long "special line" and then wait in another "special line" in order to pay a $20 cover to go back through the restaurant we just left, back up the stairs we just came down, in order to get in.
Pathetic.
When we got inside, it got even worse. The place was packed (it was only 10:30 p.m.!). The bouncers were rude, the place was pitch black in some places - so it was a lot of bumping into people. I would estimate that about 80% of every room in the entire club was sectioned off for VIP. So unless you are ready to drop $300 on a $40 bottle of vodka, don't expect to have any room.
