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.
