Re: Nobu Las Vegas
OP: Excellent review. I love Nobu LV. However, I always recommend people go alacarte over the omikase. Their hot dishes are the real standouts (except for the jalapeno yellowtail) and there's really little reason to get any regular sushi there, it's not better than any other good sushi place. I've made a couple of indepth posts re: Nobu in the past if anyone wants to search. However, yellowtail jalapeno, rock shrimp tempura w/ spicy cream sauce, and black cod miso are definite highlights. A couple of the other cooked fish dishes (black bean sea bass, toro rosa) and the tartars are also great.
Duke: Nobu LV is still more spread out than Nobu NYC or London.
Kyle: There have been extensive threads here and in B&M re: "Kobe" beef, but there are a couple of add'l factors besides what you mention - the diet and care of the cows. Plenty of websites go into extensive detail on this stuff. Summary: What you can get as "Kobe" beef covers a very wide range of stuff.
