Global restaurant group SUSHISAMBA announced today the much-anticipated SUSHISAMBA strip will open Tuesday, June 17.  Located at The Palazzo Las Vegas on the retail level of The Shoppes at The Palazzo, SUSHISAMBA's newest location will reflect the theatricality and exuberance of its decadent desert domain.  SUGARCANE lounge, the first extension of SUSHISAMBA'S New York lounge concept, will debut two days later on Thursday, June 19.  SUSHISAMBA strip will be the group's largest, as well as the first location on the West Coast.


At 14,000 square feet, the restaurant will offer a dining room that seats 150 people, a 21-person sushi bar and a main bar accommodating 35 people.  Eclectic menus for Sunday brunch, daily lunch and dinner will be offered, along with a special late night menu available until 4 a.m.  Another first for the Las Vegas location: SUSHISAMBA's distinctive robata grill showcasing dishes such as Lamb Chops with Guava Ponzu, Tobiko and Spiced Panko and Grilled Jumbo Prawns, complementing the restaurant's extensive menu of classic Japanese tempura, Brazilian churrasco and feijoada and Peruvian anticuchos, or marinated skewered meats roasted over an open fire. 


A dark corridor leads guests to the SUGARCANE lounge.  This Favela-inspired late-night space is muted in coloring, creating a sultry atmosphere.  A stage, dance floor and DJ booth are highlighted by materials that have a "raw" feel – gold and chocolate brown leather, bamboo, wenge wood, smoked and frosted acrylic, resin and paper.  The VIP area includes plush seating, mood lighting, Third World relics and Brazilian Favela street finds.  The Sugarcane Lounge, open daily until 4 a.m., will provide 174 seats and a VIP section seating 20 people. 


SUSHISAMBA offers inventive fare that unites bold Brazilian flavors, precise Japanese technique and exquisite Peruvian culinary traditions on one plate.  In addition to the Las Vegas debut, SUSHISAMBA has outposts in New York, Chicago, Miami, Dallas and Tel Aviv.  Please see http://www.sushisamba.com/ for more information.
