Sushisamba

Three cuisines. One happy hour. SUSHISAMBA at the Venetian brings Japanese sushi, Brazilian churrasco and Peruvian flavors together for a Samba Hour that’s far more interesting than the usual Strip drink-and-snack deal.

Order This:

Start with the Japanese A5 Kobe Slider $8, sweet plantain, lettuce, tomato, aji panca ketchup. The $16  Chicken a La Brasa, aji amarillo aioli, and $13 Caipirinha are also smart plays when you want to sample a few different corners of the menu.

Samba Hour runs Sunday through Friday from 3–6 p.m. and again 11 p.m to close, with select food and drink specials. The menu is built around the restaurant’s signature Japan-meets-Brazil-meets-Peru approach, so you can jump from sushi to anticuchos to Brazilian-inspired bites without leaving your bar stool.

The Venetian location makes this a useful pre-dinner stop when you’re already on the Strip. It feels polished, but the happy-hour menu gives you permission to experiment instead of committing to a full dinner. Grab a seat at the bar, order across all three cuisines and make a meal out of the small plates.
