Raw bar
Ly L.

I've been to X Pot three times, 2 times was before they completely revamped the menu and again recently. I honestly didn't think they could improve on an already amazing experience, but they somehow made it even better. Previously, everything was ordered from the menu and brought to your table, which was true full service. The new concept is much more interactive. You grab your own items from the beautifully displayed buffet while the kitchen prepares all of the premium meats and specialty items. I actually prefer this because you don't have to wait for multiple rounds of food. You simply walk up and grab exactly what you want, whenever you want. The selection is incredible. The had a raw bar were I really enjoyed lobster tails, snow crab, fresh fish, and so many other premium seafood options. The sushi bar was one of my favorite parts. The otoro was buttery and delicious, the wagyu sushi was outstanding, and every roll we tried was fresh and well made. They also had a cold salad section, which I enjoyed their octopus salad, and these little mini Geo clams. The biggest surprise? They had whole durian at the fruit station! I've never seen another restaurant serve fresh whole durian on a buffet before. If you're a durian lover, you'll appreciate this. One thing I was sad to see disappear was their salted egg black swan dessert. It used to be one of our absolute favorites with its crispy, flaky pastry and rich salted egg lava filling. Hopefully they'll bring it back someday. We reserved one of the private dining rooms, and our server Ryan made the experience exceptional. He quickly picked up on how we liked to eat and suggested bringing extra steaming pots so we could steam seafood and other items separately while keeping our hot pot available for everything else. It was such a smart recommendation and made the meal much more enjoyable. Ryan was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely one of the best servers we've had. A small heads up: bottled water is an additional charge, which we didn't realize beforehand. The restaurant itself is still stunning. The dark interior with individual spotlights over each table creates a very upscale atmosphere. They also have private rooms that can accommodate groups of all sizes. We also tried their immersive 360 dining room on a previous visit. While it's definitely a unique experience with LED walls surrounding the room, it wasn't really for us. The constant moving visuals became distracting and even a little nauseating while eating, especially once we were full. It also ended up costing around $600 per person for our group of 24, which felt difficult to justify. Personally, I'd stick with the regular dining experience. For dinner, I highly recommend purchasing the membership. It brought our dinner down to about $118 per person, saving $20 each for up to two guests, and the membership can also be used at participating X Pot locations nationwide. It easily pays for itself if you plan to visit more than once. If you're looking for one of the best luxury hot pot experiences in Las Vegas, X Pot absolutely delivers. Between the premium ingredients, generous selection, beautiful presentation, and exceptional service, it's a place we keep coming back to.

The whole experience was a huge disappointment, and honestly, we left feeling like we had been scammed. At $169 per person, you would expect a high-quality hot pot experience with a decent selection of food. Instead, be very careful when the waiter walks you through the menu, because certain items come with additional charges. Apparently, the $169 package includes far less than you would expect. The buffet selection was extremely limited, with only about three tables of food featuring seafood, sushi, and desserts. Desserts alone took up about one and a half tables, leaving very little variety for everything else. For the price, the selection was underwhelming. We were also persuaded to add $50 for king crab and caviar. The crab did not appear to be Alaskan king crab, and I believe it was Hokkaido king crab instead. The pieces were also surprisingly small for what we were paying. To make matters worse, the broth was extremely bland and lacked flavor, which affected the overall taste of the meal, including the meats cooked in it. The dipping sauce was the worst sauces I've ever tasted. The vegetables didn't even arrive until we were almost finished with dinner, which was frustrating. Also, my experience didn't look anything from their yelp page or social media. I was expecting to see the meat displayed on the golden cow. It's nothing like that. So be careful. I've been to plenty of other hot pot restaurants, and the food, variety, and overall experience have been significantly better at much more reasonable prices. For two people, our final bill came to $475, and the experience simply did not justify the cost. I would not recommend this place, and I definitely will not be returning. For that kind of money, there are far better hot pot options out there.

X POT 2.0 WEEKEND BUFFET Great for Seafood and Wagyu lovers. Service was stellar, and wide variety of high quality savory items. Ambiance is classy without being snooty. There's no need to pay the additional fee for exclusive items IMHO...the lobster with cheese from the table Service is not worth your stomach space, and unfortunately, the dessert table was mediocre as a whole and isn't on par with the savory items. Locals get 3 hours free parking and weekend price per person is $138/$118 for Chubby Club Plus Members. Definitely not a spot for picky eaters and those with a tiny appetite.

Lobster with cheese
Kaisi G.

Such high quality for AYCE. Our server was also amazing - shout out to Vicky. We left soooo full. Honestly the hot pot isn't the highlight - the sushi/raw bar and the unlimited snow crab and Dungeness crab, that's where I thought the best bites of the night were. There were also new dishes constantly coming around - the Wagyu egg tarts were so delicious and unique, I've never had anything like it before. We went on a Thursday and it was $128 per person, on weekends I think it a $138 pp. But if you're a member of the Chubby Cattle family then the price goes down by like $30-40 pp so if definitely worth exploring if you go more than 1x a year especially if there's a Chubby Cattle restaurant in your area.

Sooooo, I came here a long time ago before they were ayce and I remember liking it, but currently, i really like it! The X pot is in THE PALAZZO. Its situated at the canal shoppes upstairs just above Mot 32. I am explaining this bc no one that works in the palazzo or venetian can tell you where it is bc theyve never heard of it. If you park at the palazzo side, The X Pot would be closer. The X Pot is right next to Sushi Samba. On a side note, The X Pot sign is quite small. The inside is dimly lit and they have induction tables. You get your own pot. 128$ per person without membership on weekdays M-Th and 138$ PP on weekends Fri-Sat. 98$ PP member price weekdays M-Th and 118$ PP member price weekends Fri-Sat. You have a bunch of extras you can get. 20$ extra for a bit higher quality meat and 50$ for extra seafood experience and items. It can get expensive, but for me it was worth it for the meat. They have a seafood station with other various sushi with wagyu, and a dessert, sides, and fruit stations. Those, quite frankly was very underwhelming aside from the seafood. The shrimp, not the cocktail shrimp, was excellent. The lobster was great quality and the dungenous crab was passable. All and all, most of the seafood was superb. For me, the star of the show were the meats. Most of the meat was tender, beautifully marbled, and just luscious and melts in your mouth with every bite. Its one of the best beef I've had. The beef belly and tongue was my favorite and an absolute pleasure eating! The brisket is fantastic! I could not give this a 5 star bc i was disappointed in the tableside options. We had about 3 options out of the 17 or 18 items they offered. This day, we only got to try the pasta, fried rice, and the ultimate reason why this place gets 3 stars, the xiao long bao. We got undercooked, let's just say raw dough. And the inside tasted spoiled. For a place this expensive, they should not serve undercooked or raw food or food that tastes spoiled. This ruined it for us. The guy that pushed the cart around was nice though. He was a gem and tried to bring the cart around to show us the offerings he could "try" to get for us. I tipped him bc good service is good service. My server was also excellent. He showed me how to redeem my free sodas in the app and scan my reciepts. My server was kind, helpful, and has a wonderful personality. I would come again but can care less about the tableside offerings. The meat was worth it to me amd the excellent seafood is a plus.

X Pot is inside Palazzo in the second floor Grand Canal Shoppes. Pricing is probably the biggest thing here. It costs ~$100 per person, even for lunch. On weekends, they are open for lunch at 11:30AM, close for a break, then open again for dinner at 5PM. I made a reservation for Sunday lunch. Non-member price was $128, and member price was $98. Food: The time limit is two hours. You can self-serve seafood that is steamed or boiled. There is a small selection of sashimi and fruit. There is also a small variety of dessert. You have to order hot pot meats with the staff. Variety is very limited here. The A5 wagyu meats are so fatty. The seafood is good. Overall: this place is good if you like fatty wagyu meats, lobster, shrimp, and razor clams. Service: I expected a lot more attention for paying $100+ per person!! The first impression was great; our server explained the menu and told us what was limited and what was not. There's more on the menu that you can add on for the unlimited option. Drinks are also paid for separately. Then as our meal progressed, he would come by less and less. A couple times he had to apologize because either we were beyond ready to order again or our order hadn't come out yet. Furthermore, he said table side "dim sum carts" come by every 10-15 minutes with food. So in two hours, it should be at least 8 times. You know how many times we got served by a dim sum cart? THREE. Not coming back and not recommending X Pot to others.

We've been to The X Pot before, but this time we came to try their Unlimited Seafood & Wagyu Hot Pot and celebrate our son's birthday! Of course, we had to get a bottle of sake to go with all the yummy food! Besides the amazing Wagyu, they also have seafood, sushi, fruit, and dessert sections. For seafood, they have steamed oysters, clams, lobster, and more. They also have cooked seafood like lobster, snow crab legs, abalone, sea bass, etc. Their sushi section was really good too! They had Wagyu with caviar, sweet shrimp, and all kinds of sushi. Everything was so fresh! Every now and then, a server would come around pushing a cart with different cooked food, from Wagyu and salmon to different kinds of desserts. There was always something else to try! Since we were there to celebrate our son's birthday, our server also gave us complimentary shots! Since our son is underage, we got the alcoholic shots, and they made a zero-proof shot for him so he could join in the birthday toast too. Such a nice touch! Our server was awesome, and so were all the other servers. Everyone was very nice, friendly, and helpful. The food was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. With all the Wagyu, seafood, sushi, and everything else, we definitely left FULL and happy! Definitely money well spent!

The X Pot was an amazing experience from start to finish! Everything we tried was incredibly delicious, but the beef was the highlight. It was high quality, flavorful, and practically melted in my mouth. A special shoutout to our waitress, KC, who provided excellent service and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere, presentation, food, and service all made this feel like much more than a typical hot pot dinner. I highly recommend The X Pot, as well as anything in the Chubby Group family of restaurants!

Came here to try the AYCE option, and it's definitely worth it if you're part of the Chubby Cattle Club and love seafood. They have a lot of fresh options, from lobster and clams to an assortment of sashimi and even Wagyu sashimi. You can either steam the seafood at your table or cook it in your hot pot broth. During certain hours, they also offer caviar. The line for it was pretty long! They have someone serving the caviar for you, which was a nice touch. They also have carts being pushed around with additional food options, such as cooked lobster, steamed egg, dumplings, and more. The lobster from the cart was a little too dry for me, but I really liked the sticky rice dumpling. Service was good overall. Our orders came out quickly, and they cleared our table pretty fast as well. The staff was attentive throughout our meal. Overall, it was a nice experience. I'm not sure if I would return only because I don't eat much seafood, but if you're a seafood lover, I think this AYCE option is definitely worth trying!

The food was massive!!!! I wish I could eat more!! This was my first time here!! It was my friend's Bday Dinner!! I mentioned at the online reservation! So they prep with little Happy Birthday Stand. It was cute. and gave us shots later. I am a member of chubby club. so took the benefit of member price! AYCE Hotpot Beef and Steaming Seafood, Ready to eat Seafood, sashimi, nigiri. Fruit, dessert..and DimSum. I recommend to chose Steaming Seafood over Ready to eat. Ready to eat crab was tasty. but the lobster was hard. dessert selection was also good and had variety!! Frequently the server and DimSum server came to check...Good customer service overall!!

This is definitely one of the top luxury all you can eat items in Las Vegas. It's the the point where the sushi nigiri is the appetizer. Then you can eat all the shellfish and Wagyu that you want however you want. Whether you eat them straight from the seafood bar or dip them in the hot pot of your choice. It definitely may seem overwhelming if you never been to an AYCE with this many high end items. The simplest thing I'd suggest is try anything new or at least get your monies worth. Also get it while you can because they may or may not replenish the area as fast. They had limited sushi when I first went up there, but I also didn't really come here for that. The main thing that we ate was the lobsters tails and crab which easily gets your monies worth. I personally saved the Wagyu a little for last as I know that the fattier meat would get me full faster, but it was really good. The caviar bar is a first for me so if you get the chance, try to go there when they're open and don't have a huge line. We wanted to try the dumpling cart that would roll around, but they didn't come near our area so that's a loss on our end. We also didn't the upcharge for the crab with the caviar. If you're feeling fancy, I'd say go ahead and do it. It's really good, but if I were to come here again, I'd opt out of it. If you come here on a weekday, the prices will be better than weekend. It is also cheaper if you have a membership which is mainly beneficial if you eat at a bunch of Chubby group restaurants. Overall this is a really high end AYCE restaurant where your main benefit is to eat as much crab, lobster and wagyu as you can handle. They also serve some good sake as well. Reservation is a must, but you can also chill at the bar next door to them if you want to order some of the food and/or wait until you're seated.

Cavier service
Kourtney W.

Had a nice dinner with my friends here and it was great! Their ayce menu was so good! So many seafood options! Our waitstaff was awesome! Was there to help with anything we needed or questions we had. There was so much meats on our table! And we was able to grab as much seafood as we want! So many lobster tails and clams! And on top of all this, there was ayce amazing nigiri! At 6pm they serve all you can eat cavier as well! Recommended if you're in Vegas and wanted some hot pot with great cuts of meats and fresh seafood!

Jojo M.

Ambiance was perfect..not too loud. people wore from casual to dressy. The restaurant had high ceilings. Cody the waiter was so nice and friendly. Took good care of us.. he explained how it works with the menu. Loved how there was all u can caviar.. lobster.. and wagyu beef. Best restaurant and worth the $118 per person.. you get your money worth. We can go get food from buffet and also order w Cody to give us our special eagyu meats. You can choose from love lobster or already steames lobster. With butter on the side. Will def go back.

The X Pot Reviews in Other Languages

Ask the Community - The X Pot

Is this in a casino/hotel?

Yes! The Venetian on the second floor, close to palazzo side :)

How much per person?

$169 per person, unless if you are a Cubby Cattle member and you will get $20 off

Hi there. Can i ask the kids under 2 can come in to the restaurant or not?

Yes. We had 3 kids, ranging from 2 to 8

Hello, we were there in July and there was 2 ayce options? One with the seafood and one without. This was perfect as my family dosent eat seafood. Is the non seafood ayce option still available Aug 1st?

Yes. I believe so.

Are there kids pricing?

There's no kid or senior pricing.

Hello, We have a party of 2 people. Ordering 2 tasting menus seems too much and I don't think we can finish it. Can we order 1 tasting menu and some signature plates?

Yes, you can order pots and meats separately

Is golden cow included in chef's tasting menu? If not what is the name of it on the menu?

It is not included. But I can't remember the name of it but your waiter will explain everything to you. Also a good thing to keep in mind is that if you go with a group, don't all get the tasting menu. Just share!! It's a ton of food if you do add… 

Is this worth the price if you're pescatarian?

No. I think their specialty is beef. But the lobster broth option is a nice try tho

Is the Wagyu Feast part of the Chef Tasting Menu: Mini Individual Pot? Or an additional cost? Thanks!

Is it kid friendly let's say a ten year old friendly?

Yes.

Where is your location ? Do we have to make reservations?

Yes, you have to make reservations. It is located at the Venetian on the second floor.

What is the difference between individual and shared? is it the size?

I believe so. For the individual, you get the pot to yourself. It's right in front of you so you can choose your broth and what to cook in it. The sharing one is just a big pot in the middle for you and whoever you're there with. Harder to customize… 

How does the setup work for a party of 7? Is it two tables tables next to each other or will the party be separated, unable to talk amongst the whole group?

Two tables next to each other!

Is this family friendly we have a 1 year old?

Of course not. Anyone that brings children to the Las Vegas strip already does not have morals or values for their children.

What is the best way to order? Wife and i going for the first time. Is the wagyu feast worth it? Or do we do the the chef tasting menu?

They're both great options!

Does the $25 deposit for reservations go towards our food bill or is it a separate thing just to place a reservation?

It goes towards your food bill.

Is there kids discount for 5 and under? You don't expect 5 and under to eat as much as adult, do you?

When I was there last month (2023), I did not see a child's menu. I've noticed most eateries in Las Vegas Casinos/Resorts do not cater to children. :-(

What time is happy hour and where can I find the happy hour menu?

There is no HH.

I'm planning to take my husband here on his bday this Thursday, we don't eat much but he loves hot pot? Any suggestion of what to get and hm it's actually cost? Been reading some good review. Hope to get some answer soon. Need to reserve the table 😊

its not cheap but its worth it. We're big eaters and we did the Wagyu feast, crab legs, and lobster and all 4 signature plates. It was far too much food for 4 people. I would recommend the Wagyu feast, 2 signature plates. One of the best hot pot… 

Is sliced shabu beef meat for wholesale carry out by the pound?

No.

My visit here with friends was so fun. There is a wait to get in, and how long depends on when you…read morearrive and when people decide to leave. It's a small, intimate bar so the crowd control is great. Also, dress is strict but the staff was pretty good at taking a look & letting folks jow whikle they were on line. Once we got it, we loved the atmosphere! Great band. Wonderful bartenders, yummy drinks. Love the no phones policy, allowed everyone to actually enjoy the vibe. For Vegas, I'd say the prices were on par.

Wow this place BLEW US AWAY!!! We got in on Saturday night and walked into Bruno Mars performing!!…read more The vibe was so energetic and unique, I definitely think the no phone policy is what made it feel so special. We had so much fun we went back on Sunday night just expecting good energy and live music. We coincidentally made friends in line and the bouncer asked if we wanted a table that would allow us to cut to the front of the line. Minimum was $500 and there were 5 of us so we said yes. To our surprise Bruno came out again!!! No one ever knows when or if he will be there and we were lucky enough to see him 2 nights in a row, and made friends along the way. It was truly a magical experience, Bruno was the cherry on top but even without him making a suprise performance, Pinky Ring is still such a unique vibe I think everyone who visits Vegas should experience. I have no photos to post, just as intended :) The security was very strict about no photos. We were so impressed how well they caught every person, shining lasers at their camera and spotlighting them then escorting them out. Don't be that person, they will catch you and kick you out and make you delete any photos or videos (even from recently deleted, I asked). Just enjoy the experience with the people around you. No one else has to see photos to believe you, and even if they did they would not fully understand the vibe and experience because they weren't there. If you made it to the end of this review, I hope you make an effort to visit Pinky Ring, you might get lucky!!

Came around 8PM on a Sunday so it was fairly quiet and we were seated at the bar…read more Immediately from the elevator and stepping in, the place looks so elegant! All the tables by the window are reservation only but if you walk in, you can sit at the bar which is facing opposite of the view.

It would help if there weren't fingerprints smudged on the pane glass. Very secluded, & quiet.. It could be due to the minor signage, where u if you're not paying attention, you'll miss it. Definitely gives business deal vibes! If I had some deals lined up, I'd close them here for sure. Perfect setting to cheer a huge business deal. It's a bougie spot.. u know, upscale. I realized that when I looked at the menu & realized they had no food.. So, I ask bartender, like.. "where the wings at?" lol.. I'm thinking wings, fries, sliders, calamari.. nope! I think he said they removed food from the menu & we laughed. It's cool, calm, & collective up here.

While this is a no food speakeasy, we enjoy the popcorn, the menu is a book, and each chapter…read moreexplains the drinks. I loved chapter one drinks and chapter four. While I usually share a image its against the rules. I can only describe it as a imaginative background with small and yet delightful variety in amber red hues.

Pro: Fear and Loathing menu, updated furniture, yummy drinks…read more Con: Not the previous Laundry Room you remembered, glorified tourist trap, lack of atmosphere control. Slow drink service. The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

I first experience the Golden Tiki in July because it was HIGHLY recommended to me for my next…read moreVegas adventures! I absolutely and I love with this hidden treasure and after my first visit here this year it is my favorite establishment in Las Vegas!!! I love a great tiki bar and am an avid pina colada/tiki cocktails lover. I also love rock n roll and am a vegetarian so when we decided to check it out for dinner I was very happy they had some vegetarian options for me!! The decor of this bar is an absolute dream and I am so so happy we were seated in the room with the shrunken heads. We were seated at the Sebastian Bach shrunken head table which is absolutely perfect because I love that guy!! Anyways, our server was incredible and super accommodating. There's a little hidden thing they have throughout the bar that I won't disclose on here to keep your eyes out for and it is so fun!! The drinks were all amazing, their shots are so good!! I know I'm leaving out an immense amount of detail but please know it is my favorite establishment in the Las Vegas area. 10/10 absolutely recommend!!

I didn't actually get the chance to try the place, even though it had been on my list to visit for…read morequite some time. I'm a local and live nearby, so I was looking forward to finally checking it out. Unfortunately, the experience was soured right at the entrance. The security guard(black dude) wouldn't allow us to bring our water bottles and canteens inside. Given the Las Vegas heat, I found this policy unreasonable, especially when we were simply trying to stay hydrated. I didn't feel like arguing with the guy about it, so we decided not to go in. For context, four of us had walked about 25 minutes to get there. It was disappointing to make that effort only to turn around without even getting the opportunity to experience the place. We ended up at a neighboring bar that didn't complain about water. I understand businesses have rules to follow, but the way policies are enforced and how customers are treated at the door matter. Unfortunately, this was enough to put me off visiting, and it's a shame because I had been meaning to check the place out for a while.
