There are no strangers in some legendary rap beef, but the hip-hop icon NAS celebrated high-end Las Vegas wagyu beef on Friday night.
The “Hate Me Now” wordsmith co-hosted the grand opening of the Western expansion of Simon Kim’s insanely popular NYC steakhouse Cote at the Venetian Resort for guests like Dr. Dre, Anderson.Paak (who played a DJ set), Steve Aoki, Klutch Sports Group founder Rich Paul, cultivista Eva Chow, ex-Oscar de la Renta designer Laura Kim and hip hop artists like NORE, Mobb deep rapper’s chaos and DJ Hu’s kid.
The Venetian received a $1.5 billion “reimagining” under CEO Patrick Nichols.
The new Vegas coat features an exclusive “blackjack” sandwich with A5 Waso. If only I could get a table!
The Bash presented by Resy included showgirls, cigarette girls, roaming magicians and gorgeous nail machines.
Friday’s opening was particularly moving for Kim as the restaurant began its career in Las Vegas 20 years ago.
Kim went to Vegas to study hospitality at the University of Nevada in 2005 after working as a bus boy, waiter and bartender at Kori, a restaurant in Tribeca.
Kim was tapped to manage Shibuya after working at the front desk at MGM Grand, and later worked for celebrity chefs such as Jean Georges and Thomas Keller. He launched the court in 2017, earning a Michelin star, and then expanded to Singapore and now Vegas.
This post was written in 2023: “When Kim launched the court in 2017, the unique marriage of Korean barbecue and American steakhouse style quickly became one of Manhattan’s hottest restaurants.
Nichols – Nichols, the youngest CEO of Strip, who led Cosmopolitan to record sales as general manager and chief strategy officer before taking over with Venetian in 2022, said in a statement: The perfect blend of style and substance that seamlessly line up with our vision to deliver this collaboration.
The Venetian court also featured architects David Rockwell, Chloe Flower, Sue Ju Park, Mona Matsuda, Singh Lim, Peter Bitonbender and Gloria John.
