Komodo Las Vegas sits inside Fontainebleau, but it feels far away from the late-night chaos we left after the afters. Earlier, Dabin b2b Said The Sky struck us with all the feels at LIV Las Vegas, followed by a private afters that carried us straight into the sunrise. We partied hard. Slept even harder. No alarms. No rush. Just a full recharge before heading to the Speedway for EDC Las Vegas.
When the crew finally regrouped, some headed to Komodo and it felt like the natural move. We weren’t looking for flashing lights or pumping bass this time. We wanted something that hit different—something that felt like we earned it. Komodo gave us that. A space that felt upscale but welcoming to a crew that’s about to take on one of the most important weekend in rave history—EDC.
Stars like Anitta, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Kevin Hart, and more have been here. And let’s be real—if John Summit, THE man behind Experts Only and global DJ icon Peggy Gou dined here, we had to see why.
Peking Duck, Pikachu, I Choose You
We didn’t come to over-order. We came to savor the moment. Coming up first, the Dragon Roll—shrimp tempura, crab, pickled daikon, and a little tobiko sparkle on top. Then came the famous Peking Duck with pancakes. It wasn’t just food—it was a show. Crispy skin. Tender meat. Pancakes you wrap yourself like you’re crafting the perfect drop in your set. Every bite felt like it could bring a raver back to life. The combo felt light but flavorful, balancing out the richness of the duck.
We could’ve stopped there, but someone spotted the Pikachu cocktail on the menu. We didn’t ask questions. We ordered. El Tesoro Blanco tequila, Domaine de Canton, wasabi honey shrub, yuzu, and lemon. It hit sharp and smooth, waking us up in the best way. Refreshing without wrecking us before a rave marathon ahead. It was the kind of drink you remember not just for the flavor, but for the vibe it created.
Komodo Vegas, an After the Afters Spot Worth Coming Back For
Komodo’s staff clocked us the moment we walked in. A crew in sunglasses and rave wristbands dangling from our wrists. But instead of giving us side-eyes, they welcomed us like we were the headliners. No pressure to over-order. No pushy upsells. Just real recommendations that matched our vibe. The server knew exactly when to jump in and when to give us space. It felt like they understood the art of letting a crew unwind without forcing the moment.
When searching for an After the Afters spot, know that Komodo Las Vegas isn’t a bargain. It’s Vegas luxury with Vegas prices. But when you think about the money you already dropped on festival tickets, drinks, and VIP tables, what’s one more indulgence? It’s not the place for small talk or deep conversations. It’s the place to remember why you came to Vegas in the first place. To make memories. To laugh over pancakes stuffed with duck. To sip Pikachu cocktails while plotting your next festival run.
With David Grutman’s signature Miami-meets-Vegas flair, Komodo feels like it was built for crews like ours. Crews who aren’t ready to let go of the weekend just yet. From Peking Duck to Pikachu cocktails, Komodo Las Vegas delivers upscale dining for rave crews refueling before diving into EDC magic or another afters.
