We aren’t eating whatever that is, but there’s a lot to love at Bazaar Meat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHere’s the glorious confirmation from Venetian about the Bazaar Meat move: “Bazaar Meat, a celebration of the carnivorous from the acclaimed Jose Andres Group, will be moving to The Palazzo at The Venetian Las Vegas. Bazaar Meat, currently located at Sahara Las Vegas, opened in 2014 and following its successful decade-long run will relocate to the home of world-class dining at the legendary Venetian Resort.”<\/p>\n
This is incredible for fans of Bazaar Meat, as many have not visited since the asshat owner of Sahara, Alex Meruelo, filed a frivolous lawsuit against us for sharing a sourced rumor that hurt his feelings. The case was dismissed and Meruelo had to pay about $100,000 in our legal fees. The technical term is “litigious, clueless douche-nozzle tariff.” Long story<\/a>, but the First Amendment prevailed. The bottom line: F that guy, and Sahara is scrod without Bazaar Meat.<\/p>\nSahara said they’re “thrilled to share that we will be announcing a top-tier destination restaurant to take the place of Bazaar Meat when it closes next year.” Translation: Scrod, royally. Unless they bring Cleo back.<\/p>\n
Anyway, as mentioned, we shared Bazaar Meat would close<\/a> at Sahara back in May 2024. In July 2024, our friends at the 360 Vegas podcast got wind of a potential move of the restaurant to Venetian.<\/p>\nIn August 2024, we heard Bazaar Meat had extended its lease a short time, but the move was happening and we even got a possible location (it has not been shared or confirmed by the Venetian yet).<\/p>\n
