Bar Masa

Chef Masa Takayama, whose Japanese cuisine remains unrivaled, will make his much-anticipated entrance into Las Vegas with Bar Masa at ARIA Resort & Casino in CityCenter. Continuing the tradition that has made his New York restaurant legendary, the ARIA outpost will offer two separate dining spaces, each unique in ambiance, service and cuisine. The 150-seat Bar Masa, located in a casual, airy space beneath a TK-foot vaulted ceiling, will invite guests to sample their choice of modern Japanese food from an à la carte menu. The more exclusive Shaboo, set in an intimate, reserved room of just 54 seats, will offer an omakase-style experience orchestrated anew each day by Chef Masa. Wrapped in a design by Richard Bloch Architect, the interior’s use of natural elements creates an effect both intimate and serene, aptly reflecting the purity of Masa’s cuisine.
