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!

It was an absolute dream, the decor give us a feeling of intimate dinning experience. The bread basket is a most have, we loved the tomahawk cook to perfection and carved on tableside. Chicken was juicy tender with crispy skin - absolutely perfect execution.

This restaurant had great food, service, and ambiance. When we arrived, the first table that they had for us was a bit noisy (being near the front desk and the casino), so the hostess re-seated us deep in the restaurant where we could talk and catch up with family. The waitstaff was friendly and efficient. The food arrived quickly and was delicious.

Our server was so good at his job! He was very personable and he made us feel at home. When I was ordering food I was torn between 2 different dishes, he lead me in one direction but then brought me a complimentary side of the other dish, without asking, as a surprise to me. If comfort food is what you are after then visiting this place.

I think he was so taken back by the food being so outstanding and delectable and we were not rushed which was perfect. The outstanding birthday dessert was such a surprise and enjoyed by all. This was the most memorable birthday from beginningi to end.
