This was our second time dining at Nellie's. It was delicious and has become our new favorite when in Las Vegas. Super convenient if attending a concert at MGM. I had the meatloaf and absolutely loved it. Comfort food for sure...will definitely return and highly recommend

Excellent on all fronts, from service to quality of food. We had two choices from the market menu, Lobster scallops and shrimp with grits and ahi with blue lump crab and Cajun hollandaise on asparagus Decent sized portions. Also shared an octopus starter. The fact there was nothing left on the plates speaks volumes. For dessert we chose the cheese plate ( which bizarrely appeared as a starter on the menu !) Will be back on our next Vegas trip

Food was excellent. But the Big Al’s mojito is a canned drink, not a bartender cocktail and was not good. We mentioned it to the waitress and the cost was removed from our bill. Good public relations to make it right. I would highly recommend eating here. Great food and a willingness to make it right for the customer We had hush puppies, steamed mussels, Caesar salads and gumbo. All excellent
