11 celebrity restaurants on the way to Las Vegas in 2022 and beyond – Eater Vegas

Las Vegas continues its love affair with celebrities whether they are famous chefs, singers families, or reality television stars. So far, the end of 2021 and into 2022 and beyond look to bring a cavalcade of names that belong in neon lights. Here are 11 celebrity restaurants on the way.

The celebrity news kicked off with Lisa Vanderpump of Vanderpump Rules and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame announcing her Vanderpump Paris opening at Paris Las Vegas. The new lounge is a follow up to Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace with whimsical cocktails, and a lush Parisian-inspired decor from Nick Alain. Vanderpump Paris will be located next to the Paris Las Vegas front desk.

Restaurateur John Kunkel of 50 Eggs Hospitality delves into Japanese cuisine when Wakuda opens at the Palazzo in early 2022. Chef Tetsuya Wakuda earned accolades at his two-Michelin-Star Waku Ghin at Marina Bay Sands Singapore and his popular Tetsuyas in Sydney, Australia. In Las Vegas, Wakuda promises his first high-end Japanese restaurant with an approachable omakase experience, touching on some of his classic dishes such as ocean trout confit, perhaps his best-known dish, along with yakitori and dishes cooked over binch-tan.

A new Italian restaurant from celebrity couple Giuliana and Bill Rancic along with Lettuce Entertain You Restaurant partners R.J., Jerrod, and Molly Melman plans to open at the Forum Shops at Caesars in early 2022. RPM Italian takes over the very short-lived Slanted Door space at the front of the shopping center on Las Vegas Boulevard. Pasta with dishes from Guilianas mother Mama DePandi, who appeared often on Bill and Giulianas reality show makes up a bulk of the menu with more than a dozen made in house daily; think Mama DePandis bucatini, Maine lobster ravioli, spicy king crab with squid ink spaghetti, and lobster fra diavolo.

Nobu Matsuhisa and his fusion cuisine that melds traditional Japanese dishes with Peruvian ingredients arrive at a third Las Vegas location in early 2022 at Paris Las Vegas. While the chef already has Nobu at Caesars Palace, attached to his very first hotel that opened in 2013, and Nobu at Virgin Hotels, his newest location takes over the former Sekushi space on Le Boulevard next to Caf Americano and across from the hotel elevators.

Walk-Ons Sports Bistreaux comes to the Las Vegas Strip in early 2022. Walk-Ons plans to take over the former Toby Keiths I Love This Bar & Grill at Harrahs Las Vegas with a sports dining venue. Brandon Landry and Walk-Ons teamed up with Hash House A Go Go for the opening. Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a part-owner. The Harrahs location will be the first to offer breakfast as well as the Walk-Ons menu of crawfish etouffee, duck and andouille gumbo, and Krispy Kreme bread pudding.

Celebrity entrepreneur, TV personality, and culinary tutor Martha Stewart will debut her first restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip at Paris Las Vegas sometime in 2022. Parent company Caesars Entertainment released no information on the potential restaurant or what Stewart could offer, but the resort allocated an estimated budget of $100,000 to selectively demolish an existing space on the Strip property to make way for the new restaurant.

Blake Shelton brings his own venture to Las Vegas in 2023. The country music singer and coach on The Voice plans to open Ole Red, a honky-tonk spanning 27,000 square feet, at the Grand Bazaar Shops in front of Ballys Las Vegas with Ryman Hospitality. The $30 million, four-story venue, a fifth from Shelton, plans to offer dining and 686 seats, as well as two floors overlooking a central stage for concerts daily. The 4,500-square-foot rooftop also plans to offer music, food, and beverage with views of the city.

Nellies Southern Kitchen and its Southern cooking head to Las Vegas, opening as soon as spring in the former Hecho en Vegas space at the MGM Grand. Kevin Jonas Sr., the father of the Jonas Brothers, opens an ode to his grandmother Nellie and her biscuits. The 11,000-square-foot restaurant features a menu of chicken and dumplings, pulled pork smoked over pecan wood and stuffed on sandwiches, chicken and gravy, and a Southern meatloaf, and plans to have live entertainment as well.

Las Vegas gets its chance to order Cronuts rolled in sugar, stuffed with cream, or topped with glaze when pastry chef Dominique Ansel opens the first outpost of his eponymous bakery at Caesars Palace next to Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill in summer 2022. Dominique Ansel Las Vegas plans to serve the DKA (Dominiques kouign amann), a caramelized croissant with flaky layers inside and a caramelized crunchy crust outside; the Cookie Shot with a warm chocolate chip cookie shaped like a shot glass and filled with Madagascan vanilla milk for a riff on milk and cookies; and Frozen Smores with a center of Madagascan vanilla bean ice cream covered in crispy chocolate feuilletine, and then wrapped in honey marshmallow and torched to order.
