Although technically a desert, Las Vegas offers a surprising array of decent sushi options -- especially if you venture off the Las Vegas Strip itself. Here is a look at four popular options for satiating your sushi craving in Sin City.

Osaka Japanese Bistro

Osaka is truly a Las Vegas institution. It was the first Japanese restaurant to open back in 1967 and offers three different dining experiences -- a sushi bar, Teppanyaki Grill, and the traditional Tatami Rooms. The food is authentic and the restaurant is consistently voted as the "Best of Las Vegas" by readers of the Las Vegas Review Journal. Recently, Osaka was also bestowed a very significant award - one of the 50 best Japanese Restaurants by Japan's largest weekly magazine, Asahi Shukan. It was the only restaurant outside of Japan to be included in the list. The Osaka Japanese Bistro specializes in sushi made by the former National Sushi Competition Adjudicator in Japan and award winning sushi chef, Shingo "Shin" Aihara.

Osaka's original location is on Sahara Avenue, just off the Las Vegas strip. The restaurant draws significant crowds, both at lunch and dinnertime.
