Nomikai Sushi Bar & Speakeasy

At Restaurant Row in The Venetian, Nomikai offers a more social take on sushi than Tekka’s counter: its name evokes gathering over food and drinks, and the resort separates a quick-service bar from a more intimate dining room with cocktails. Because the Strip sits in unincorporated county territory and is concentrated around large resorts, this is a hotel destination rather than a residential street restaurant. The postal city is Las Vegas, but Clark County provides municipal services here, a useful distinction when planning transport, parking or neighbourhood references.

The Venetian’s announcement described a counter with up to 20 seats, rolls, sashimi and nigiri prepared in front of guests, plus a takeaway window and poke bowls. The same concept includes a roughly 50-seat dining room with booths, tables, a cocktail bar and private dining. The resort menu lists nigiri, sashimi, rolls and hand rolls with salmon, yellowtail, crab and tuna; the PDF checked lists a three-hand-roll set at $21. That is a dated point of reference, not a guaranteed price.

Google reviews for this branch often praise the team’s hospitality, the counter’s quick pace and the perceived freshness of selected rolls and nigiri. On the other hand, some diners find the food or cocktails raise the bill and report mixed results across dishes; the more elaborate speakeasy setting is not a budget meal. To keep spending predictable, the counter’s hand-roll set is the clearest entry point, while the dining room suits guests prioritising atmosphere and cocktails.

Nomikai is at 3355 S Las Vegas Boulevard, Suite 105, inside The Venetian; the official phone number is 702-414-3474. The company website links Instagram and describes the experience, but the contact page reviewed does not show a complete weekly schedule. Public directories differ on closing times, so confirm the day’s hours. The resort provides visitor parking subject to its terms. The Deuce can take visitors along Las Vegas Boulevard and the monorail covers part of the corridor, but its station is not inside The Venetian; allow time for the final walk through the resort.
