In Las Vegas, caviar excess and a thumping beat often combine for success. But sometimes, they don’t.
And so it is that Boa Steakhouse is set to open this summer in the Palazzo Tower of The Venetian, in the space most recently vacated by Villa Azur, the clubstaurant that closed in early December after a troubled two-year run — one that married Golden Ossetra fettuccine with a vigorous bass (and a one-day rent-related closure in September).
The debut marks a return to town for the SoCal-based Boa, which closed in 2012 in the Forum Shops at Caesars after a seven-year run. Boa, which recently expanded to Austin, Texas, is a project of Innovative Dining Group (IDG), which also created Sushi Roku, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary at the shops.
