• Southern • The Strip

Booked 37 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!

The food was amazing!!! I'd never had gnocchi before, and for me, their homemade gnocchi tasted heavenly. It was like delicious little clouds of potato with creamy tomato sauce, mushrooms, and Italian sausage. My husband had their chicken from their grill menu, and we had their Vulcano chocolate cake with salted carmel Gelato for dessert. Definitely will be back!

Wow! We wanted dessert, went for the ganache-drenched macaron and were instantly reminded how fantastic it is. The glass of Sancerre was excellent. This is one of our few must go places when we come to Vegas. It was almost closing time, yet the service was attentive as ever.

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.
