MGM Resorts recently announced that Hecho en Vegas Mexican Grill & Cantina at the MGM Grand hotel-casino will close permanently by the beginning of November, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/i>. The restaurant opened in 2013. It features Sonoran dishes and more than 100 tequilas. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No reason was given for the cantina\u2019s upcoming closure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The MGM Grand is on the east side of the resort corridor near McCarran International Airport.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MGM Resorts said in a statement that after the cantina closes the space will be used for \u201ca new food and beverage concept\u201d to be opened in the winter. The company said details about the addition to its \u201cfood and beverage portfolio\u201d at the MGM Grand will be announced in a few weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rao’s Ends 15-Year Run<\/h2>\n

This is the second announcement in recent days about a longtime restaurant at a Strip hotel-casino going out of business soon.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 28, Rao\u2019s Italian restaurant at Caesars Palace<\/a> on the resort corridor is closing after 15 years.<\/p>\n

\n

The owners did not give a reason for closing the restaurant next month. Rao\u2019s owners hinted they are planning to open another restaurant in the Las Vegas Valley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhile our future in Las Vegas is not yet decided, we are very excited about the possibilities of what lies ahead,\u201d\u00a0the owners said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Rao\u2019s at Caesars Palace is the Las Vegas branch of the longtime, famous Rao\u2019s in New York City. The New York Rao\u2019s, with only a handful of tables and booths, is considered one of the most difficult restaurants in the country to secure a reservation. It has traditionally been popular with celebrities, public officials, and athletes.<\/p>\n

Rao\u2019s now sells its bottled red sauces, also known as \u201cgravy,\u201d in outlets such as Whole Foods and Sam\u2019s Club.<\/p>\n

Martha Stewart Restaurant Proposed<\/h2>\n

As these restaurant close, others are slated to open on the Strip.<\/p>\n

Businesswoman and publisher Martha Stewart appears set to open a restaurant<\/a> at Paris Las Vegas on the east side of the resort corridor. A Clark County demolition permit has been filed to make room for a Martha Stewart restaurant inside the hotel-casino. No time frame has been given for when this might occur.<\/p>\n

Stewart, a former Chanel model and stockbroker, was convicted in March 2004 on four counts in a securities fraud investigation, according to CNN<\/i>. She served five months in a federal prison in West Virginia.<\/p>\n

\n

Stewart\u2019s many current enterprises include a website offering food preparation advice, such as\u00a0 <\/span>\u201chow to cook bulgur,\u201d and \u201csimple and delicious ways to transform chicken breast into dinner tonight.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Also on the Strip, Baton Rouge-based Walk-On\u2019s Sports Bistreaux is planning its first Las Vegas outlet. The restaurant features Louisiana specialties.<\/p>\n

Walk-On\u2019s is projected to open in Harrah\u2019s Hotel and Casino on the east side of the Strip in early 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
