The Strip features dozens of non-celebrity chef restaurants that may not have the allure of a celebrity-operated establishment. Some of those restaurants have remained open for 10 or more years but eventually run their course and are replaced by new dining establishments.
MGM Resorts International on Oct. 30 permanently closed one of its limited-hours restaurants, Della’s Kitchen at Delano Las Vegas on the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino campus, which originally opened in September 2014.
MGM will replace the restaurant with a new concept when it converts the Delano to the W Las Vegas later this year.
Long-time Vegas Strip restaurants close
Popular breakfast and lunch cafe Avenue Café at the MGM Grand, which has operated since June 2013, closed permanently on Nov. 17. The restaurant is expected to be replaced with a new concept in February 2025.
Ocean One Bar and Grille at Caesars Entertainment’s Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Hotel and Casino’s Miracle Mile Shops also closed in November.
The restaurant was known as one of the most affordable establishments on the Strip, as its lunch menu was priced at $5.99 for all of its items, and its happy hour special featured three cocktails for $12.
The restaurant management is searching for a new location as it posted a message to potential customers.
Wynn Resorts Limited’s (WYNN) hotel-casino Wynn Las Vegas has been busy closing popular restaurants with plans to remodel existing locations or replace them with new establishments.

The new restaurant will be operated by chef Fabio Trabocchi, who has won James Beard and Michelin awards for his mid-Atlantic and South Florida restaurants.
