A Taste of Italy on the Strip: Your Ultimate Guide to Eataly Las Vegas

Eataly is located inside Park MGM, a smoke-free casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

Located at the front of Park MGM, Eataly Las Vegas is far more than just a food court. It is a 40,000 square foot vibrant Italian marketplace that brings the authentic flavors of Italy directly to the heart of the Strip. Whether you are looking for a quick espresso, a sit-down regional feast, or hard-to-find imported groceries, this culinary destination has it all.

The Layout: How to Navigate Eataly

Eataly is divided into three main experiences: quick-service counters, high-end sit-down restaurants, and a retail marketplace.

• Cucina del Mercato: This is the heart of the "open market" concept. You’ll find six different fresh counters where you can eat what you shop. Highlights include La Macelleria (the butcher), where you can select a cut of meat to be grilled on the spot, and La Pizza alla Pala, serving Roman-style pizza by the slice on traditional paddles.

  
  

• Sit-Down Dining: If you prefer a more traditional meal, head to La Pizza & La Pasta for authentic Neapolitan pies and seasonal pasta dishes. For a more elevated experience, Toscana Ristorante & Bar celebrates the rich, rustic flavors of the Tuscan countryside with a sophisticated wine list to match.

  
  

• The Marketplace: Before you head back to your hotel, browse the retail section. It is stocked with over 5,000 high-quality products, including artisanal pastas, extra virgin olive oils, and regional Italian sweets.

Insider Tips for Your Visit

• The "Wine and Shop" Strategy: You can grab a glass of Italian wine or a Spritz from one of the central bars (like L'Aperitivo) and carry it with you while you browse the market or wait for a counter seat.

• Skip the Peak Crowd: Eataly gets incredibly busy during pre-show hours for the nearby Dolby Live theater. If you want a more relaxed experience, aim for a late lunch (around 2:00 PM) or a mid-morning coffee and pastry.

• Look for the "Chef’s Table": Eataly often hosts live demonstrations and workshops. Check their calendar for "Uncorked" events or hands-on pasta making classes where you can learn the "Eat, Shop, Learn" philosophy firsthand.

• Don't Miss the Gelato: Tucked away near the entrance is the Venchi chocolate and gelato counter. It features a stunning chocolate waterfall and some of the most authentic gelato you’ll find outside of Rome.

  
  

Why It’s a LAS Discounts Favorite

Eataly offers a unique flexibility that is hard to find elsewhere on the Strip. You can spend $15 on a gourmet sandwich and a soda, or $150 on a fine-dining experience with rare Italian truffles. It’s the perfect spot to refuel between sightseeing stops or to gather supplies for an in-room charcuterie spread.

Next time you are walking through Park MGM, take a detour into this Italian oasis. Your taste buds will thank you.
