For every perfect Person out there... Yes; I understand the sushi came out plated Nigiri, but that was just for aesthetics. I ate it sashimi style as I always do, hence the malaprop. If your only comment after this watching this entire experience video is to highlight a very slight misspeaking of mine, then I suggest you get this immediately... amzn.to/3unPSWw
Not frivolous or irresponsible. Obviously you can afford a $700 dinner ... I cannot. Life is short. You created an experience and memory that will last a life time. So much better an investment then, say, hitting the Blackjack table or Roulette table. I think you understand and can appreciate these rare morsels - many people are not so discerning. Thank you for posting this!!!
It's actually great he had to document it for his channel because oftentimes when you're drinking you are less likely to recall. I remember an extravagant night out on my birthday, or when I've splurged on a loved one, but other times, and I'll attribute it to booze... I don't really recall. It's also crazy how much money you can spend on alcohol for 2 boozers. I'm 48 if you're wondering how I could forget.
How do you only have 5k subscribers? Your channel is a guilty pleasure and an absolute ball to watch. I live in Manhattan, a city with great restaurants. Got totally hosed at Masa...which Mizumi seems to be the right experience. We spent over $400 per person at Masa, and felt violated. It's worth $75 at the most.
@@Coolist The Las Vegas content is much more competing because of the incredible restaurants located in the hotels. Manhattan is strange. It's so expensive for restaurants to be located in hotels because of the unions. A dish washer can't scrub pots, so restaurants need to pay two separate potscrubbers. And that's only the beginning.
I am just binge watching your videos and man your living my best dream. Your knowledge of food and the way you talk about it is so inspiring. I look forward to trying mizumi and le cirque. I’m going for three weeks in September so I will comment on how I felt about them both. Thank you for what you do !!!
You should have no regrets. You work hard and this ain't no dress rehearsal. My buddy says " there aren't any drawers in those coffins, you can't take it with you".
Definitely an epic dinner Mr James. Starting off with the burnt old fashioned followed by the demon slayer sake …would make anyone throw financial caution to the wind lol. I’ve walked by Mizumi many times and wondered how it was . Looked like an awesome night for sure . 😎😎😎
Anthony!! How have you not gone in there? Well, maybe you shouldn't lol. But those drinks were well worth the $100 tab... helluva way to start your night!
@@Coolist I will add it to my growing list of cool places you’ve shown that I need to experience. I have Lakeside booked for October 5th . Maybe I’ll switch it to Mizumi since I’ve been to Lakeside before .
My sister and I were just there. We sat by the window centered on the waterfall. The absolute BEST dinner of my life. Most memorable was the grilled Wagu and the Yellowtail carpaccio. LOVED it!
$700 to treat yourself to a great solo experience. PRICELESS!!!! Nothing wrong with that. At the end of the day, if you're happy then it was a great choice!! I do it all the time....Costco Pizza soda and a hot dog, In n out, Shake Shack etc. =)
Had Mizumi teppanyaki earlier this year with my dad for his birthday, it was a prix fix menu and we came out filled for JUST under $400, got to try the pork belly, sashimi, snow crab roll a piece of american steak for my dads entree and I had the seafood trio with scallops, black tiger shrimp, and chilean sea bass as my entree, yakisoba noodles and a raspberry macaron for dessert. Very filling and we had a drink each. MIZUMI is the BEST restaurant experience HANDS DOWN on the strip.
Last year, my wife and I made a trip out to Vegas for the first time in over 13 years. Went during Thanksgiving and stayed at the Palazzo. We had dinner at Delilah in the Wynn, and it was definitely an expensive Thanksgiving meal. But the ambience, the live show, the drinks and the food that evening were just flat out amazing. It truly is the experience that you go for, and now.....Mizumi is definitely on my list the next time I'm back out West! Thank you sir for showing us this!!
That was Fascinating! You explained everything so well. I may never get a chance to go there, but your joyful description was totally satisfying. Thank you!
Life is short. The world is a wacky place. So while you’re in Las Vegas it’s totally worth it to give a really expensive dinner a go. Mizumi looks amazing. And as you said… This is a meal you’ll always remember. And along with the meal, drinks tip being $700 you also get a lifetime of stories to share that you had a $700 solo sushi dinner. This was an awesome video. Now I’m hungry. ✌🏽
When it comes to the finest Vegas dining, you are by far the expert and best food reviewer ! I don't splurge often, but when I do , I follow your advice so I can count on a great meal ! Thanks Coolist !
I know people have spent 700 dollars on night clubs or cabanas or gambling… I think it’s more about the experience. Also, I feel like if I went to mizumi I have a good idea of what I was would get to eat/drink based on your recommendations so thank you.
As a new subscriber, this video makes me very happy. You are right, you have to enjoy life to the fullest and have fun if you have the financial means. I LOVE the Wynn/Encore properties and always stay there when I take my mom to Vegas for Mother's Day weekend...we've missed the last couple bu those to return in 2022! Thank you for sharing your experience at Mizumi!
GOD BLESS YOU JAMES. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIEND. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. WOW! THE WYNN/ ENCORE IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! 🙏 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WYNN AND ENCORE! WOW! 🙏 I LOVE NOBU. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE NOBU. I LOVE MIZUMI. I ABSOLUTELY FEEL LIKE CRYING. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN A MIRACLE. I LOVE MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS SO VERY MUCH. WOW!!!!! I LOVE MIZUMI. I LOVE WYNN AND ENCORE. WOW!!! WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!!!! SINCERELY PETER
Wynn and Encore are two of the most beautiful hotels in the US. Bellagio also remains one of the most beautiful. Steve Wynn is a visionary. I have not had the good fortune to try Mizumi. But I have eaten at Wing Lei at the Wynn and it was amazing. Some restaurant experiences are worth splurging on!
I tried Kobe beef back in 1983 when I was deployed to Okinawa with the Air Force. Forty years later nothing compared to the texture and taste of that beautiful beef.
Just found your channel today and am floored by your content. You have such an amazing way to convey your words to match your experience. Going to binge all your videos to get ready for my next trip. 1000% happy to subscribe
I think you did the right thing ... I live in Toronto and havent been to Vegas in 3 years due to the lockdown.... so I agree with you, you never know when your going to have an experience like that again
I fully agree, that was an epic dinner... Mizumi is for the professional sushi fan... I would have to eat at a steak house 1st & than stop by Mizumi for a few plates of sushi & a few rounds of drinks for the experience..
Have you ever thought about trying out any of the villas in Las Vegas? I know it's over kill because you are there solo, but I bet you would love them! Especially The Mirage Lanai suites or the Sky Villas at Aria!
Such an old video to me. But.....god damn i love mizumi. I walked out at just under $600 partially because of this video. Sadly, they don't offer this dessert anymore
On the one hand, $700 is a crazy amount of money for a meal. But $700 for an experience that you will cherish for the rest of your life and probably tell your grandkids about is more than worth it. That's the essence of the Wynn and Encore: very expensive but absolutely worth it.
Braised Wagyu Short Rib With Roasted Shallot, $26 Spicy yellowtail roll, $24 Diet Coke, $6? Our table also got a sashimi plate to share, but you could just order individual pieces of sashimi or nigiri or an extra robata or sushi roll if you need a little extra to fill you up. You can certainly dine here for under $100 per person
New sub. here. Loved this one. In some respects, it's too bad you didn't share the experience with a friend. My best girl and I hit up LV 8-10 times a year. Will definitely try Mizumi. Place looks insanely good. Keep up the rad vids.
@@Coolist just got back after my visit and you nailed it. The lava cake mask was off menu, but they had a beautiful Cashew Ice cream dessert that was well worth the same price. Overall, the best 500 bucks I’ve spent in Vegas thus far!
Prefectures are the governmental bodies of Japan which are larger than cities, towns, and villages. Kobe beef from Hyogo prefecture is the most famous brand of Japanese wagyu beef in the world
Definitely worth every penny. Although I was very shocked that you had such a beautiful experience and actually tipped less than 20%. Was the service bad? Was it about the bartender being presumptuous? I'm native to Vegas and I guess I'm just a little confused.
Something similar happened to me at Club Paris in Anchorage. I was on business traveling alone and walked out with a $450 tab. My boss approved my AMEX expense report for that trip to!
First of all, i enjoyed all your videos. I just wanted to share similar experiences i had with that sake "demon slayer" AKA onigoroshi, junmai daiginjo. Pros, very subtle, light, and very tasty. Cons, so smooth that it goes down faster than anything i know. On empty stomach, this chilled sake will throwout any rational judgments and make you a careless soul. I didn't know how happily drunk i was until i stood up. Just like you, end up just ordering whatever available or recommended. Overall, in my opinion, there is no justification for $700w/tip for that dinner. Honestly, i think you wouldnt done that without that sake. There is a reason why they call it sake flight.^^ Other than that atmosphere Mizumi offers where ive been b4, you can easily top that quality and with more varieties for less than $400. Tip, try kubota next time. This is really good too. Make sure you have some food first^^
My good friend is a four maybe even a five star sushi chef he has a sushi restaurant in Las Vegas that just opened during the pandemic I have been there a few times and I have eaten his food at his other place in the Rio several times and I tell you his food is incredible and I love sushi and I’ve had it all over Las Vegas I’ve never been to Mizumi and that place looks insanely awesome and I will go there but you need to go and see my buddy at his restaurant you will be shocked. He is white but trained in Japan you will be extremely impressed. His place is called sushi Joe’s on Maryland Parkway he’s doing other ones which I’m going to try to get involved with because I love it so much. Tell him I sent you my name is Tim
I don't mind spending that on a great dining experience like you had. So good for you! I'd like to try Mizumi, but would want Omakase. I'm itching to go to Wynn/Encore this winter, so I'll have to plan on Mizumi!
You were decadent and treated yourself - that is what Vegas is all about. Believe me, years from now you will not regret pampering yourself like this. I've had some amazing solo dinners in Vegas and throw caution to the wind but usually I don't go above $225 all-in.
Great video! Will have to try it after a bit hit at the tables. POINT OF CLARIFICATION - you had tuna nigiri and NOT sashimi. There was rice under the fish, therefore it’s not called sashimi….it’s called nigiri. Sashimi is riceless. :-) Love your videos! A5 Kobe is on my bucket list.
Isn’t that nigiri, not sashimi? Anyway, looks delicious! We just got back from our stay at encore! We tried Casa Playa which opened in September. SO good!! Can’t wait to try Mizumi next time!
@@johnpalacios5914 It was delicious! The ambience was beautiful, and the food was so good! I expected nothing less from The Encore! I hope you both enjoy(ed) it! I'd love to hear what you thought!
I went to Mizumi last August and I thought I would spend a lot. I only ended up spending around 250 with a 50 tip included. I was full and could not eat more. It was delicious. I’m going back in May.
Oh, man. You got taken for a ride with the Demon Slayer. That is not considered a "high end" sake at all and it isn't hard to get. You can import it into the U.S. through Tippsy Sake for $55 and in Japan it's like maybe $25 for a whole bottle. Definitely fun to splurge once in a while though. But just think.....$700 is a few hundred off a round trip flight to Japan, lol.
I had the tasting menu, it was nine courses I believe and, between the two of us, the bill was under 700 and that included JW Blue and a few other over the top drinks. Mizumi is amazing.
Never had, and won't experience ultra high end dining at Vegas anytime soon... but watching the experience is definitely something. Still, how the hell do you justify spending $700 for a meal lol
I wasn't happy with Catch. I won't be going back, maybe it was just an off night for them. I'll be heading to the new Fountainebleau in Feb to stay and see U2. Do you have any recommendation for restaurants at Fountaine? Love your videos
I think my first visit will be like yours: sit at the bar, talk with the bartender and learn more about sushi (etc.) Hopefully they'll know how to slake my thirst without resorting to toxic booze, but that's the next level.
Sounds like you had a unique, enjoyable meal. In Las Vegas, where it is easy to gamble thousands of dollars away in the time it took you to dine, $700 for a meal could be a veritable bargain 😁. I could dine with my sister there and keep the bill under $400 easily, mainly because we don’t drink. I laughed when you had the nigiri, claiming that eating protein first before any starches was a good idea. It probably is a good idea, but that rice under the fish is a starch: unless you left the rice uneaten, your plan has been derailed. Wynn is such a luxury, fine experience, no doubt the dining experiences are exquisite. Glad you had such a nice meal.
If this place puts Catch on a lower rung, then I’m definitely not ready!!! LOL I’ve been to Catch twice and it was The Sh🤫😂. Absolutely great post as always🙌🏾
I live in Vegas and have never been there. Nobu is my favorite sushi place. But after watching this, I just might go there, sit at the bar myself, and try the kobe beef, some tuna and maybe a sake flight. Looks like fun!
You can get different demon slayer sakes. They are dryer and tend to be on the more sweeter side like champagne. Definitely worth having a bottle on deck at home when the occasion arises.
Good Lord, that was a splurge! My family of 3 had dinner at Guy Savoy with wine pairing and it only cost $1,600. I guess my getting rejected from Mizumi for wearing Birkenstock was a blessing in disguise. I think the best way to do Japanese is Omakase from a chef who know what he's doing.
Best thing you ever did was wear those sandals to dinner. 😆 Traditional omakase is quite the experience. I've had a few in Japan and they were unbelievable.
For every perfect Person out there...

Wasn’t just a dinner, it was an experience. Worth it 😎.
And really, that's what you pay for in Vegas - the experience.

Manhattan is strange. It's so expensive for restaurants to be located in hotels because of the unions. A dish washer can't scrub pots, so restaurants need to pay two separate potscrubbers. And that's only the beginning.
There used to be a Bar Masa at Aria in Las Vegas but it closed about 5 years ago and the space was replaced by Catch.

I suspect what he drank was Wakatake Oni Koroshi Junmai Daiginjo
Great video, going next April and was in two minds about booking but that’s sold me, can’t wait! Cheers from Scotland.

You get one life, enjoy it. Such great food in Vegas, especially at Wynn. I highly recommend Yui Edomae Sushi just off the strip.
I really like your philosophy. Continue to be yourself continue to enjoy life.

$700 is my spending budget for a 2-3 day trip in Vegas. It covers food, shopping, gambling, gas. And sometimes I have money left over.
That's a solid stipend. Normally I'm right there with you, but this dinner got out of hand.
you are a very good storyteller

My wife and I are going there at the end of the month. It looks like the most luxurious Mexicano food one could ever eat. 😃
@@johnpalacios5914 It was delicious! The ambience was beautiful, and the food was so good! I expected nothing less from The Encore! I hope you both enjoy(ed) it! I'd love to hear what you thought!
You had me at burnt old fashioned! That burnt sugar is going to be on my mind until I drink there in November! Beautiful restaurant!
I went to Mizumi last August and I thought I would spend a lot. I only ended up spending around 250 with a 50 tip included. I was full and could not eat more. It was delicious. I’m going back in May.
Oh, man. You got taken for a ride with the Demon Slayer. That is not considered a "high end" sake at all and it isn't hard to get. You can import it into the U.S. through Tippsy Sake for $55 and in Japan it's like maybe $25 for a whole bottle. Definitely fun to splurge once in a while though. But just think.....$700 is a few hundred off a round trip flight to Japan, lol.
Just watched your circa review and this one. Definitely must watch for me. Are planning on doing any bar/lounge reviews?
I had the tasting menu, it was nine courses I believe and, between the two of us, the bill was under 700 and that included JW Blue and a few other over the top drinks. Mizumi is amazing.
Never had, and won't experience ultra high end dining at Vegas anytime soon... but watching the experience is definitely something. Still, how the hell do you justify spending $700 for a meal lol
I wasn't happy with Catch. I won't be going back, maybe it was just an off night for them. I'll be heading to the new Fountainebleau in Feb to stay and see U2. Do you have any recommendation for restaurants at Fountaine? Love your videos
My husband and I went in 2019 twice. Best Yaki Udon I've ever eaten and the mask dessert was so beautiful I hesitated to eat it 😋
Worth it love it wynn
I think my first visit will be like yours: sit at the bar, talk with the bartender and learn more about sushi (etc.) Hopefully they'll know how to slake my thirst without resorting to toxic booze, but that's the next level.
Not just a meal, but an education to.
Sounds like you had a unique, enjoyable meal. In Las Vegas, where it is easy to gamble thousands of dollars away in the time it took you to dine, $700 for a meal could be a veritable bargain 😁. I could dine with my sister there and keep the bill under $400 easily, mainly because we don’t drink.
I laughed when you had the nigiri, claiming that eating protein first before any starches was a good idea. It probably is a good idea, but that rice under the fish is a starch: unless you left the rice uneaten, your plan has been derailed.
Wynn is such a luxury, fine experience, no doubt the dining experiences are exquisite. Glad you had such a nice meal.
If this place puts Catch on a lower rung, then I’m definitely not ready!!! LOL I’ve been to Catch twice and it was The Sh🤫😂. Absolutely great post as always🙌🏾
Thanks. Catch is really great, but mizumi is incredible.
I live in Vegas and have never been there. Nobu is my favorite sushi place. But after watching this, I just might go there, sit at the bar myself, and try the kobe beef, some tuna and maybe a sake flight. Looks like fun!
Thanks for sharing! 😁
Brother new to your videos. Love your content 👍🥂 subscribed.
Love it!!!
People who work hard in life should indulge once in a while or what's the point ? You've earned it ENJOY IT ! fantastic video and insight as usual 👏
You can get different demon slayer sakes. They are dryer and tend to be on the more sweeter side like champagne. Definitely worth having a bottle on deck at home when the occasion arises.
Good Lord, that was a splurge! My family of 3 had dinner at Guy Savoy with wine pairing and it only cost $1,600. I guess my getting rejected from Mizumi for wearing Birkenstock was a blessing in disguise. I think the best way to do Japanese is Omakase from a chef who know what he's doing.
Best thing you ever did was wear those sandals to dinner. 😆
Traditional omakase is quite the experience. I've had a few in Japan and they were unbelievable.
