New Culinary Destination Arriving Late 2025
Partnership with James Beard Award-Winning Chef Kwame Onwuachi
New Restaurant Slated to be Onwuachi’s First West Coast Concept
LAS VEGAS (March 2025) – An extraordinary new era in SAHARA Las Vegas’ culinary journey will begin in late 2025 with the opening of an original restaurant by James Beard Award-winning Chef Kwame Onwuachi. Renowned for revolutionizing the East Coast dining scene with New York’s Tatiana and Washington, D.C.’s Dōgon, Onwuachi is thrilled to debut a new concept at SAHARA, which will mark his first restaurant on the West Coast.
The partnership with Onwuachi aligns with SAHARA Las Vegas’ ongoing transformation, as the resort continues to blend its storied legacy with all-new experiences. It will showcase Onwuachi’s signature culinary artistry and also embrace the vibrant energy and spectacle of Las Vegas in a way only SAHARA can deliver.
“We have closely followed Chef Onwuachi’s career and deeply admire the significant impact he has had in New York City and Washington, D.C., where he has redefined the dining scene with his acclaimed cuisine,” said Paul Hobson, general manager of SAHARA Las Vegas. “At SAHARA, he will connect with a whole new audience, and we are honored to welcome him.”
“I am excited for this next chapter, and the opportunity to bring a new culinary concept to SAHARA Las Vegas and the city’s dynamic food scene,” added Onwuachi.
Additional details about Onwuachi’s SAHARA Las Vegas restaurant will be unveiled in coming months, and it will occupy the current Bazaar Meat by José Andrés space, which closes June 30, 2025.
