Boa is back.
More than a dozen years after it closed at the Forum Shops, this steakhouse with a distinctive name is returning to the Las Vegas Strip. This time, Boa (stylized as BOA) will occupy the second-floor space in the Palazzo Tower of The Venetian that once housed Villa Azur, which shut in December after a tumultuous two-year tenure.
The steakhouse is opening Oct. 17, once again brought to town by Innovative Dining Group, which owns three Boa Steakhouses in the Los Angeles area — including its hot boîte flagship on another Strip, the Sunset Strip — plus a location in Texas.
