YELLOWTAIL
SUSHI WE HARDLY KNEW YEE aka Sushi Jumps The Shark– Part Three
In this last of our 3-part series, we examine another nouveau sushi-sashimi enterprise, and find one that hews closer to the spirit of true sushi/sashimi than you might expect from a restaurant associated with a nightclub. Click here and here to read Parts One and Deux.
Yellowtail in the Bellagio is another creation from The Light Group – nightclub impresarios who now run six food and beverage outlets in that hotel alone – along with several others around town. Like the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group, it runs a tight ship in all of its outposts, and rarely puts forth food that feels commercialized or by-the-numbers. Make no mistake, like Sushi Samba, this is a corporate food factory, designed and planned to the nines; calculated at every turn to appeal to the zeitgeist of how modern America eats. Also like Sushi Samba, it’s next door to a nightclub, so many of its customers are of that ilk.
Further Proof That The Sushi Apocalypse Is Upon Us…
Sushi and sports bars? A natural fit? You tell us. In the meantime, you can find Sushi Pop (even the name advertises how superficial it is), beside the giant screen sports bar at the entrance to Mandalay Bay’s restaurant row. Neither ELV, nor his staff, will be bumping into you there anytime soon.
