• Southern • The Strip

Booked 24 times today

Visitors to the Las Vegas Strip in the mood for authentic southern cuisine need look no further than the just-like-Grandma-used-to-make dishes of Executive Chef Mario Nichols, a transplant from the kitchen of this restaurant's North Carolina original location. Grandma is real, too: Nellie was the grandmother of Kevin Jonas, Sr., "Papa Jonas" to the fans of his famous sons, and the founder of Nellie's. The food - including freshmade biscuits, shrimp and grits, and chicken and dumplins, shares top billing with Nellie's hospitality and decor. The gorgeous venue, located within the District of MGM Grand, opposite the Grand Garden Arena and close to Wet Republic, Top Golf and the MGM convention center, is open 7 days for lunch and dinner. Come by to watch the game on our HUGE main screen, or to listen to some live music!

Luchini is an Italian American restaurant reminiscent of classic red sauce joints in the key of Tao Group, known for their scene-making restaurant and nightlife venues worldwide. Luchini’s combo of restaurant, slice shop, and cocktail haunt experience brims with nostalgic charm and suave energy. Chef Ralph Scamardella’s menu reads like a list of nominees for the Red Sauce Hall of Fame featuring Alla Vodka, Manicotti, Parmigiana three different ways and Spumoni in the dining room, and New York-style pizza-by-the-slice from the adjacent shop counter. Inspiration is drawn directly from the tri-state’s familiar no-frills pizza parlors with counter service up front, and an expanded menu of Italian-American comfort food in the back dining room. Luchini also houses a cinematically inspired cocktail lounge accessible through a disguised door in the slice shop that feels like slipping into a Coupe DeVille, stay a while!

We are locals and I really didn’t want to cook Thanksgiving dinner this year. I have been here before and enjoyed that they aren’t afraid of butter or spices in food which honestly come on it’s Thanksgiving I’m thankful for food that has a flavor. I wasn’t disappointed as always the portions are huge but really good food. It was perfect we actually have leftovers of the full Thanksgiving dinner. Each course was great . The service is always wonderful. I highly recommend this place to anyone. I’m already thinking of Christmas dinner if it’s offered. Told a few people already that this will be are go to now for Holidays. We love you Martha

Leo was an amazing server. Friendly and personable. Made excellent recommendations for dinner. If you eat there, ask for Leo!!!! Food was fantastic. Chef's Special that night was gumbo with blackened catfish and jumbo shrimp over mashed potatoes. Delicious. We also had the braised short-ribs. Fork tender, fall off the bone perfection. Served with roasted honey carrots that melt in your mouth.
