Estiatorio Milos Las Vegas

Estiatorio Milos Las Vegas, (styled estiatorio Milos) is a Mediterranean restaurant that first opened at The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas when the hotel debuted in December 2010.[1] The original location closed in 2020[2] and relocated to The Venetian on March 15, 2021. As of 2025, there are 12 locations of estiatorio Milos worldwide.

Layout/Construction

The interior of estiatorio Milos location at the Venetian was designed by Alain Carle and Jeffrey Beers International, the same designer as the Cosmopolitan location.[3] Construction at The Venetian started August 2020 with a $10 million budget. Milos took over a 13,624 square foot space that previously housed a different seafood restaurant called Aquaknox. Owner Costas Spiliadis had minimal in-person involvement in construction due to COVID-19 travel restrictions but saw progress through Zoom calls. Marble from Mount Pentelicus outside Athens and Oak from Denmark were the primary materials used in construction.[4] Genevie Durano of Las Vegas Weekly explained the environment difference from the Cosmopolitan to the Venetian as such, “Where the original Milos was tucked away in a corner at the Cosmopolitan, offering a relatively subdued dining experience, its new home is a bright and expansive open space with a massive bar at its center and a bright and bustling open kitchen.”[5]

Milos at The Venetian offers a prix-fixe lunch, fish flown in from the Mediterranean, a fruit and vegetable market, a raw bar, a yogurt room, and Greek wines.[2] Owner Costas Spiliadis had a unique goal for this location of Estiatorio Milos: ”I want to emphasize the quality of the fish, and the characteristics of the different fish in their raw form.”[4]
