Vegas Welcomes Celebs for Opening of New Restaurant
The world-famous Bellagio Resort and Casino has just unveiled the Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant and Bar and invited some famous icons to taste their cuisine. This is the Light Group’s fifth restaurant and their first since they partnered with the Dubai-based Zabeel Investments in February.
The Las Vegas sushi restaurant attracted celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio, Eva Longoria, Charlie Sheen and his wife, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Wilmer Valderrama Michelle Rodriguez, Ryan Cabrera, Marlon Wayans, Shar Jackson, Rick Solomon, Brandon Davis, Playboy Playmate Destiny Davis, and Miss Nevada 2008 Veronica Grabwoski.
The celebrities were invited to taste the delicacies of Chef Akira Back, a former pro-snowboarder turned “Iron Chef America” contestant. The stars feasted on such specialties as Tai snapper, Kobe beef tataki , king crab tempura, rock shrimp, big-eye tuna pizza, the spicy tuna strawberry roll, and of course every type of sushi you can think of.
Paris dined on the beef tataki, ordering seconds and even thirds. Eva congratulated Chef Back while drinking non-alcoholic beverages and abstaining from the sushi. Wilmer enjoyed the delicacies of the famed chef and ordered table shots for his entourage.
The stars finished the evening by mingling on the hotel’s terrace that overlooks the iconic lake, while the Bellagio’s fountain show was enjoyed by all. A concealed balcony offers outdoor veranda seating and a panoramic view of Lake Bellagio and its fountain and light show. But the greatest visual treat is the 25-by-13- foot bronze statue at the opening resembling the dorsal side of a Japanese amberjack.
