<\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\nNetflix and MGM Grand are partnering for a \u201cculinary residency,\u201d Netflix Bites.<\/p>\n
Netflix Bites opens in 2025 and will be in the hotel\u2019s former Avenue Cafe space<\/a>. Avenue Cafe closes Nov. 17, 2024.<\/p>\n Netflix, the popular streaming service, also had a Netflix Bites pop-up in L.A. that got middling reviews<\/a>, but we\u2019re sure the Las Vegas location will be much better because, well, Las Vegas.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a blurb from the news release: \u201cFrom screen-to-table, fans and foodies alike will be invited to a one-of-a-kind restaurant experience offering guests a savory journey that combines inspiration from hit Netflix titles with MGM Grand\u2019s renowned expertise in hospitality and immersive entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n If you followed our link<\/a> to the story about Avenue Cafe closing, you\u2019ll recall we wrote this: \u201cWhile we don\u2019t know what\u2019s next for the Avenue Cafe space, you can rest assured it will be interactive and immersive.\u201d This is not our first rodeo.<\/p>\n The idea is Netflix wants to exploit the success of its various shows, including \u201cChef\u2019s Table\u201d and \u201cDrink Masters.\u201d<\/p>\n Details are light about which chefs will contribute to the Netflix Bites menu at MGM Grand, but the L.A. pop-up was a collaboration between chef Curtis Stone (\u201cIron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend\u201d), Dominique Crenn (\u201cChef\u2019s Table,\u201d \u201cIron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend\u201d), Rodney Scott (\u201cChef\u2019s Table: BBQ\u201d), Ming Tsai (\u201cIron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend\u201d), Ann Kim (\u201cChef\u2019s Table: Pizza\u201d), Nadiya Hussain (\u201cNadiya Bakes\u201d), Jacques Torres (\u201cNailed It\u201d) and Andrew Zimmern (\u201cIron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend\u201d).<\/p>\n We\u2019re personally hoping the pop-up draws inspiration from \u201cThe Menu.\u201d Fun fact: The aforementioned chef Dominique Crenn was a consultant on \u201cThe Menu,\u201d and the filmmaking style was inspired by \u201cChef\u2019s Table\u201d on Netflix.<\/p>\n The Netflix Bites concepts are an extension of the service\u2019s live experiences, including \u201cThe Queen\u2019s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience,\u201d \u201cStranger Things: The Experience\u201d and \u201cMoney Heist: The Experience.\u201d<\/p>\n Leave no revenue opportunity unactivated!<\/p>\n You can glimpse a little of the Netflix Bites vibe on the Instagrams<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite Netflix Bites\u2019 shaky start in L.A., we love new things in Las Vegas and the great thing about a pop-up is it\u2019s not supposed to last forever (although, they always have the option to), so let\u2019s Netflix Bite and chill or whatever the kids are doing now.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/netflix_bites-845x563.jpg\"\/)
