Durango Casino & Resort has announced that Sushi Kame, a Japanese dining concept from Chef Eric Kim, will open at Eat Your Heart Out food hall in early 2027. Known for his Michelin Guide-recognized Kame omakase in Las Vegas, Chef Kim will bring his culinary expertise to Durango with a restaurant featuring premium Japanese cuisine, fresh seafood and three distinct dining experiences.

“As we continue growing the culinary lineup at Durango, we’re proud to welcome talented local chefs like Eric Kim to the property,” said Durango VP and GM David Horn. “Sushi Kame brings a unique approach to Japanese dining, with a variety of offerings that guests can enjoy whether they’re stopping in for a quick bite or celebrating a special occasion. It’s a premium culinary experience.”

Sushi Kame will offer approachable and premium dining focused on ingredients, preparation and seasonal seafood. Designed to accommodate three occasions, Sushi Kame will feature a Hand Roll Bar, Main Dining and Traditional Sushi Bar.

Kim prides himself on a simple philosophy: Respect the ingredient, stay consistent and give every guest an experience worth remembering: “For over 28 years, my journey in Las Vegas has been about more than just great food. I believe genuine hospitality, personal connections and memorable experiences are just as important. We look forward to sharing that same philosophy.” 

Guests can look forward to freshly made hand rolls at Sushi Kame’s Hand Roll Bar with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, toro, snow crab, lobster claw and omakase. The Main Dining menu will bring together sushi, sashimi, donburi, classic and specialty rolls and hot dishes. A late-night and Happy Hour menu will round out the experience with Shikoku oysters, rolls, nigiri, cold dishes, sake and draft beer.

For a more traditional sushi experience, guests can take a seat at the Sushi Bar for à la carte nigiri and sashimi, including bluefin tuna, otoro, Japanese snapper, live Maine lobster sashimi, Hokkaido uni, Japanese scallop and seasonal selections.

With an emphasis on craftsmanship and interaction with chefs, the Sushi Bar will allow guests to explore premium ingredients and receive recommendations. Sushi Kame will be located in the former space of Yu or Mi Sushi inside Eat Your Heart Out. More: DurangoResort.com and @DurangoResort on social media
