Joël Robuchon Nevada $525 tasting menu

Tasting Table reported on Aug. 6 that Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas has Nevada’s most expensive tasting menu, putting the restaurant’s 10- to 12-course Degustation Menu at $525. The restaurant operates at MGM Grand on the Las Vegas Strip, where MGM says it is the first and only three-star Michelin Guide winner in Las Vegas. Current restaurant and travel-guide listings also show Joël Robuchon carries Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star recognition and AAA Five Diamond status. The price point places the restaurant at the top of a state-by-state roundup of tasting menus published Thursday. ### Where does the $525 figure come from? Tasting Table’s Aug. 6 roundup said Joël Robuchon’s Degustation Menu costs $525 and runs 10 to 12 courses. A separate listing from 50 Best Discovery, crawled last week, also said the Las Vegas restaurant offers a 10- to 12-course degustation menu priced at $525 per person. The 50 Best Discovery listing said the restaurant also has tasting menus starting from $235, indicating the $525 option is the top-end signature format rather than the only fixed-price menu. (tastingtable.com) Forbes Travel Guide’s restaurant page likewise says diners can choose from à la carte dishes, a prix fixe menu or a 16-course tasting menu. ### What exactly is Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas? MGM Grand lists Joël Robuchon at 3799 S. Las Vegas Blvd. inside the resort and describes it as the first and only three-star Michelin Guide-winning restaurant in Las Vegas. The restaurant group’s own site says the dining room is an art deco townhouse-style space within the MGM Mansion and names Eleazar Villanueva as executive chef. (theworlds50best.com) MGM Resorts said in an August 2025 release marking the restaurant’s 20th year in Las Vegas that Joël Robuchon was “Las Vegas’ only restaurant to receive three Michelin stars.” Michelin’s current guide site remains active as a booking and listings platform, but Las Vegas is no longer part of Michelin’s present U.S. city coverage, leaving the restaurant’s three-star distinction as a historical accolade from the period when Michelin rated the city. (mgmgrand.mgmresorts.com) That is an inference based on MGM’s historical description and the Michelin Guide’s current market coverage. ### Which accolades can be verified now? Forbes Travel Guide’s current restaurant page identifies Joël Robuchon as a Five-Star restaurant in Las Vegas. MGM Resorts said in a March 2026 release on Forbes Travel Guide awards that MGM Grand’s Joël Robuchon received its 20th successive Five-Star rating. AAA’s 2026 Five Diamond restaurant list includes Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas at MGM Grand. (newsroom.mgmresorts.com) MGM Grand and the restaurant group’s own site also describe the restaurant as a winner of Forbes Five Star and AAA Five Diamond awards. ### Is $525 the full cost of dinner? Forbes Travel Guide says the restaurant offers several menu formats, and 50 Best Discovery says the $525 figure applies to the 10- to 12-course degustation menu. (registration.forbestravelguide.com) That means the headline price refers to the food menu itself, not necessarily the full check after beverages, supplements, taxes or gratuity. (newsroom.aaa.com) Third-party listings show how quickly the total can rise. Time Out, in a 2025 roundup, said the $525 tasting menu could approach $1,500 with a Grand Cru wine pairing, while other recent reviews cited pairings and supplements on top of the base menu price. ### What can diners verify before booking? MGM Grand’s current restaurant page says Joël Robuchon is open Tuesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and provides booking access through the resort. (registration.forbestravelguide.com) The Joël Robuchon group site lists the same Las Vegas location and identifies Villanueva as the chef leading the kitchen. (timeout.com) On Aug. 6, the clearest published benchmark is still Tasting Table’s $525 figure for the Degustation Menu. For the next step, diners can confirm current menu options, reservation availability and service days through MGM Grand’s Joël Robuchon page and the restaurant group’s Las Vegas listing.
