WAKUDA is the two-Michelin-starred chef Tetsuya Wakuda's traditional-meets-modern Japanese restaurant inside the Palazzo lobby at The Venetian Resort, created with 50 Eggs Hospitality. Known for omakase, sushi and a late-night menu, it also runs a genuine zero-proof beverage program: its bar uses Lyre's non-alcoholic spirits to build an array of tropical and Japanese-inspired mocktails. Named non-alcoholic drinks include the Matcha Colada (Lyre's spiced sugar cane, ceremonial matcha, pineapple, lime, coconut), the Hosaka Fever (Lyre's spiced sugar cane, pineapple, green tea, lime), Geisha's Garden (lychee, butterfly pea tea agave, lime, Fever-Tree club soda) and Cure. The restaurant also houses the Golden Gai Cocktail Club, a Shinjuku-inspired lounge serving handcrafted drinks and Michelin-quality bites. It was named 2025 Gold Winner for "Best Sushi" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
