James Beard Award winner and star of public television program Yan Can Cook Martin Yan will open M.Y. Asia, his first dining experience on the Las Vegas Strip later this year. The new restaurant is set to open in Q3 of 2022 at Horseshoe Las Vegas, the casino hotel into which Bally’s Las Vegas is currently transforming itself.
“It is a pleasure and honor at ATM-Yan to help bring our friend and partner iconic Chef Martin Yan and his team to Horseshoe Las Vegas,” Adam Odegard, Managing Partner at ATM Hospitality said in a press release. “This exciting food and beverage experience will be the first of its kind.”
A fixture of American Public Television, Chef Yan has hosted more than 3,000 shows and guest starred on many others, earning two James Beard Awards and an Emmy in a long TV career that began in 1982. Yan has also published over 30 cookbooks and continues to host events, tours, and social media videos.
The menu will feature specialties from China, Japan, Vietnam, and Thailand, anchored by Peking Duck, hand-pulled noodles, dim sum, and fresh live seafood.
“We are thrilled to welcome Chef Martin Yan and his first Las Vegas restaurant to the newly rebranded Horseshoe Las Vegas,” Jason Gregorec, SVP and General Manager of Horseshoe Las Vegas said in the press release. “As part of a multimillion-dollar transformation of Bally’s into Horseshoe, M.Y. Asia is one of several new experiences our guests can look forward to enjoying at the center-Strip resort.”
The reimagined space designed by PGAL will feature a hand-pulled noodle bar and wok kitchen that allows guests a full look into the chef team’s process.
“I want to invite guests to taste and see the action, and what we will bring to the Las Vegas Strip,” said Chef Yan. “Diners will not only discover and taste our amazing dishes, but also our version of entertainment, making it an unforgettable experience.”
