(upbeat music)
Thanks for being along for the fun.
I'm Jillian Lopez and today's show
is coming to you from Paris, Las Vegas.
Chefs love taking what you love about food,
making it extra special and surprising
while you're here in Las Vegas.
And today we are going to visit a new restaurant
here at this beautiful property
that's reinventing one of my favorite cuisines, sushi.
But first it's time to head over to The Shops at Crystals
where Dayna Roselli has your inside track
on an extraordinary Las Vegas shopping experience.
- If you're in the mood for high-end luxury shopping,
look no further than The Shops at Crystals.
And this gorgeous, retail and restaurant space
offers over 50 of the world's finest luxury brands.
Names such as Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Alexander McQueen,
Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana,
all housed in this must-see piece of architecture.
I can't wait to take you
through a one-of-a-kind shopping experience
from a few different perspectives.
Let's go.
(upbeat music)
I met up with Margareth Martin.
She's an avid blogger and trendsetter.
So Margaret, I have to ask you
what do you love about shopping in Las Vegas
and specifically here at Shops at Crystals?
- Well, I think Las Vegas
is the best place to shop in the world
and we have so many top luxury brands right here in town.
(upbeat music)
- And what about when it comes to trends?
I always like to know what's in.
What's in right now?
- Well, we're definitely moving away
from the muted, neutral tones
to a more loud, big, proud outfits.
So a lot of the accessories
that are really popular right now
are like the mood-boosting accessories and statement pieces.
Shoes, bags, like my colorful bag.
And we're actually trending right now.
- Oh, we're trending. - Yeah, we are.
- I love it.
- One of my favorite things about The Shops at Crystals
is that they have a lot of flagship stores.
So, you know you're gonna get the trendiest
and most unique pieces.
- Well we keep talking about how stunning this space is.
I was just looking at those stairs, so cool.
I wanna learn more about the architecture and design.
Can you fill us in? - Yeah.
So The Shops Crystals was built in 2009,
designed by Daniel Libeskind and the Rockwell Group.
You know, it's kind of become an iconic feature
along the Las Vegas skyline.
You know, we're not the tallest building
but we have probably some of the coolest angles and designs.
You know the brands themself
are really the focal point for us
but the architecture is kind of cool
and unique for the strip. - Yeah.
And what about the VIP experience?
I can only imagine that you have
a lot of VIPs coming through here,
obviously because it's high-end luxury
but also we have a lot of VIPs that visit Las Vegas.
- We do, we do.
You know, it's fun to walk through Crystals
'cause you never know who you're gonna see.
Whether it's an artist that has a residency on the strip
or someone that's just here for one night.
- Nick, thanks so much.
We learned a lot about Crystals today, for sure.
It's gorgeous. - Thank you.
- We love taking you inside the restaurants
that make this city so attractive to foodies.
Next JJ Snyder takes us inside a new spot
here at Paris, Las Vegas to visit
a world-renowned chef's sanctuary of sushi.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm JJ Snyder for Vegas On.
In Las Vegas, if you are in the mood for Japanese food,
look no further than Nobu.
The award-winning concept from world-renowned,
master sushi chef, Nobu Matsuhisa.
His latest creation, Nobu, at Paris, Las Vegas
is continuing that tradition.
Do most people start out their dinner with a cocktail
when they come to Nobu?
- I mean, our cocktails are absolutely amazing.
They're created by Nobu bartenders from around the world
and we even have a couple that are exclusive
to this location, already. - Yeah.
- And then the main thing is sake, though.
We actually have a partnership
with Hokusetsu Brewery in Japan
for our own line of sake.
Outside of Japan, the only place you can find their sake
is at a Nobu restaurant.
So this will be our sushi bar side
where you can see the fish being prepared.
- Nobu all happens behind this counter here.
So they're preparing sushi for people
and many people, they'll come in, they'll dine,
they'll have cocktails,
but plenty of people would like to sit up the bar
and watch the sushi be prepared.
- Of course.
And the great thing about being at the sushi bar
specifically is you don't order with your server.
You actually talk to the chef right in front of you
and they can also help guide you
into any specials they have for the day.
Fresh fish that's not even on the menu.
(upbeat music)
This is our most popular dish
since the very beginning of Nobu.
This is going to be thinly-sliced yellowtail from Japan,
brushed with garlic puree,
topped with a serrano pepper slice,
set in a house-made yuzu soy sauce.
In the center, we have cilantro.
We recommend adding to each bite to enhance the flavor.
- Should we try it? - Absolutely.
- Okay.
Join in with me because you shared with me,
this is actually your favorite dish, also, right?
- Oh, I love this dish, it never gets tired.
- [JJ] Okay.
- Perfect example. - So good.
- Of what is Nobu. (laughs)
- John, thank you so much.
This is one of the new, amazing places in Las Vegas.
You've got to check it out.
(upbeat music)

a variety of talent to stages.
