The renowned Japanese restaurant chain, Zuma, continues its international growth with plans to open in Las Vegas in 2016. 

Launched in London by Rainer Becker and Arjun Waney in 2002, Zuma has grown rapidly with restaurants now in New York, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Miami and Dubai, turning over a staggering $200 million in annual revenue.

In Vegas, the new restaurant will be housed in the the Cosmopolitan, a luxury multitower resort with a 100,000-square-foot casino and just under 3,000 rooms. Zuma isn’t the first big-ticket restaurant to open at the resort, which already houses Jaleo, a modern tapas restaurant from José Andrés’s ThinkFoodGroup, and a Blue Ribbon Sushi from the Bromberg brothers, to name a few.

“We still had some undeveloped space and the first place I thought of when strategizing was Zuma,” said Bill McBeath, who took over as the Cosmopolitan’s chief executive officer late last year when the property sold to Blackstone for $1.73 billion. “I’d been to Zuma in London in 2007 and was infatuated with the brand, the quality of cuisine, and the atmosphere.”

Like other Zuma locations, the Vegas edition will be informed by Japanese dining, with a sushi counter and robata grill in addition to the main kitchen. You can expect dishes similar to what Zuma serves all over the world, from the tuna tataki to the lobster tempura. Noriyoshi Muramatsu, the designer behind Studio Glitt, has been commissioned to design the interior.
