De Niro, celebrity chef get keys to Las Vegas Strip on Nobu Day

County Commissioner Steve Sisolak was at the Nobu Hotel in Caesars Palace on Friday to present chef Nobu Matsuhisa and Robert De Niro with a proclamation declaring it Nobu Day on the Las Vegas Strip and throughout Clark County. He also presented the team with a ceremonial “key to the Las Vegas Strip.”

The partners in the Nobu restaurant chain were in town for a weekend of celebrations honoring the Nobu Hotel’s fifth anniversary. During a news conference, it was announced that the agreement to run the hotel tower as a boutique Nobu hotel-in-a-hotel has been extended for another 10 years.
