Bouchon at The Venetian is Thomas Keller’s Parisian-style bistro, set on the 10th floor of the resort’s Venezia Tower above the Las Vegas Strip. Since opening in 2004, it has drawn diners for classic French cooking and one of the city’s most popular weekend brunches.
Designer Adam Tihany gave the dining room a pewter bar, mosaic tile floors, and tall windows that fill the space with daylight. A patio overlooks the Venezia pool garden, a calm view rarely found in Las Vegas. The menu covers bistro standards. Steak frites comes with a pile of thin, crisp fries. Other staples include escargots in garlic-parsley butter, foie gras, and roast chicken, and the raw bar serves chilled oysters and shellfish platters. At brunch, the croque madame, chicken and waffles, and house-baked pastries draw a loyal following. Expect polished, unhurried service that suits anniversaries and celebratory dinners (source: The Venetian).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekend brunch fills fast, so book a week or more ahead through OpenTable. Request a patio table in spring or fall, when midday temperatures are comfortable. Weekday mornings and early dinner seatings are the quietest times to visit. To reach the restaurant, take the Venezia Tower elevators. Allow extra walking time, because the route through the resort is long. Afterward, browse the Grand Canal Shoppes, or pick up macarons at Bouchon Bakery inside the resort.
