It’s a time-honored tradition among Vegas visitors to promenade along the Strip. Depending on the direction, a walkabout can lead to discoveries that may not have been on the original travel itinerary and can take an epicurean turn. Should the route pass in front of Park MGM, the opportunity to explore Eataly Las Vegas awaits just inside the resort’s entrance next to Dolby Live.

A hard left leads to Eataly Bar, the newest addition to the Italian-style mercado inside the smokeless casino-resort. Advertised as being “where the spirit of the Amalfi Coast meets Las Vegas,” the horseshoe-shaped Eataly Bar specializes in spritzes and serves up an eye-opening espresso martini.
