Boa Steakhouse throws a sizzling grand opening party on the Las Vegas Strip — PHOTOS
Updated November 10, 2025 - 10:45 am
Boa Steakhouse, the Los Angeles hot spot where chops meet social sexiness, opened Oct. 17 in the former Villa Azur in the Grand Canal Shoppes on the second floor of the Palazzo Tower of The Venetian. The debut marked a return to Las Vegas for Boa, which closed its original location here in the Forum Shops at Caesars more than a dozen years ago.
On Saturday, Boa celebrated its return with a grand opening party that kicked off with a ribbon cutting. Boa owners and executives, TV stars, reality TV figures, influencers and others walked the red carpet. Inside, guests found signature Boa bites (tuna tartare, bone marrow, hamachi crudo, New York strip on crostini), food stations, an ice sculpture showcasing a caviar display), and sushi from sibling restaurant Sushi Roku.
Guests also slipped into cocktails like The Elit, made with Stoli Elit vodka and caviar-stuffed olives, and the Smoke Show, a smoked old fashioned poured to their preferred level of smokiness. A DJ and a violinist added to the energy.
Here are some prime grade center-cut outtakes from the red carpet sizzle.
