• Regional American (Southern) • The Strip
Booked 23 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 were not sure what to eat before we flew out of Vegas, but were all able to agree on southern food. This far exceeded our expectations - both the service and the food were outstanding. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken, which was comparable to what I've had in Nashville itself. The mac and cheese was great, and the biscuit appetizer with jam and cinnamon butter were fantastic. Definitely check this place out.

    We were greeted by the location manager whom had a delightful, energetic spirit that introduced us to his entire team, welcomed us to Vegas and checked on us personally throughout the evening. This establishment would get 10 Stars if that rating was possible! Our birthday outing was one of the highlights of our Bithdaycation and we’d definitely recommend their food and hospital it’s anytime.

    I came here yesterday for breakfast with my mum and brother for our mums 60th. The food was delicious and the service was great! Everyone that attended our table wished our Mum happy Birthday which I thought was a nice touch as I hadn’t reminded anyone since booking several months ago. Would definitely recommend visiting for breakfast, good choice of dishes, I had the pancakes whilst my Mum and brother had eggs Benedict and three way eggs which were all very tasty!
