Vegas Welcomes Celebs for Opening of New Restaurant

Filed under: las Vegas — September 2, 2008 @ 2:56 pm

The world-famous Bellagio Hotel has just inaugurated the Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant and Bar and invited some popular celebrities 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 restaurant attracted icons 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 stars were invited to taste the delicacies of Chef Akira Back, a former pro-snowboarder turned “Iron Chef America” competitor. The celebs indulged 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 imaginable.
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 and casino’s balcony 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 extravagance is the 25-by-13- foot bronze display at the entrance resembling the dorsal side of a Japanese amberjack.
