Co-founders David Zhao and Haibin Yang opened The X Pot's Palazzo iteration at the Grand Canal Shoppes — Chubby Group's premium-Wagyu and live-seafood hot pot format wired through a $1M 5D projection system that maps narrative imagery across the tables during service, with robot servers moving between courses. The format is operator-driven and unambiguously theatrical: unlimited A5 Wagyu and live seafood across a multi-act sensory progression, the room transforming with each course via projection-mapped scenery. Where other Vegas hot pot rooms compete on regional authenticity or price, The X Pot competes on production value — the spectacle IS the program, executed at a level Strip-property scale enables. For Vegas's most-committed tech-spectacle dining format — a register the Strip does uniquely well.
