Morimoto, the Japanese restaurant from Masaharu Morimoto at the MGM Grand, returns on January 8 with dinner service only on Fridays and Saturdays.
Morimoto closed in March when the state ordered nonessential businesses including casinos and restaurants to close to slow the spread of COVID-19. The Gaming Control Board allowed casinos to reopen on June 4, and the MGM Grand was among the first to reopen on the Las Vegas Strip, but Morimoto remained closed as hotels maintained 50 percent occupancy when they returned.
Morimoto originally opened in 2016 with a menu that blends Eastern and Western flavors.
