Craftsteak
To say that Craftsteak merely creates extaordinary steaks would do the restaurant a great disservice. James Beard award-winning chef Tom Clicchio is emphatic when it comes to creating menu items that appeal to all lovers of fine food. Using the purest ingredients and a philosophy that simpler is better, he makes every dish burst forth with flavor and deserving of its fine reputation. The entrees aren't the specialties here. The whole menu is.

Fiamma
Straight from Soho, where it earned the coveted Three Star designation from the New York Times, Fiamma is among the newest restaurants to open at MGM Grand. Sleek, sexy, and sophisticated, the James Beard Award-nominated Italina trattoria features signature dishes and hearty pastas that reflect the simple seasonings and flavors of Italy.

Nobhill
No fog. No hills. No earthquakes. Just delightful San Francisco neighborhood-inspired cuisine elevated to an art form by the mastery of James Beard award-winning chef Michael Mina. The organic produce and poultry are flown in direct from San Francisco and provide the foundation for creating extraordinary tastes. The North Beach Cioppino and the Lobster Pot Pie are renowned for raising eyebrows and smiles.

Shibuya
Expansive and spectacular, it's the ultimate destination for Japanese cuisine. Direct from the stylish Tokyo district that bears its name, Shibuya features freshly prepared ingredients, stellar sushi, and the widest sake selection this die of the Pacific. All served in airy and ambient setting. Experience the sleek urban elegance of Shibuya and transport yourself to the Far-from-ordinary East.

Pearl
Cuisine with essence of the Canton and Shanghai provinces, prepared utilizing the four Chinese cooking methods: steamed, braised, baked and fried. Live seafood is the specialty. Chef Kai-Wai Yau prefers a menu that constantly changes so he can take advantage of rare and unique seasonal offerings. The atmosphere is serene and contemporary Chinese. A masterpiece both in looks and taste.

Seablue
James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Mina's newest restaurant is Seablue, inspired by the bustling ports and marketplaces of the Mediterranean. Fish and shellfish are flown in from around the world daily and prepared in two lively open show kitchens. The menu features tapas and small plates ideal for family-style sharing; custom-designed salads; innovative seafood entrees and jet-fresh whole fish cooked over a wood-fired grill. The stylish room is filled with sea-centric details, from the walls of stone and water to a dramatic cylindrical tank filled with over one thousand fish. Ocean-fresh is the focus here, so let your tastebuds go for a swim.

Emeril's
Scallops from Maine. Pike from the Midwest. CHicken from Alabama. Emeril's creates its own fresh and distinct blend of Creole/Cajun cuisine as good as you'll taste in any French Quarter Restaurant. Add to that a wine list that received Wine Spectator's 1999 "best of Award of Excelence" and a New Orleans-style architecture, and you'll see why Emeril's is much closer to Bourbon Street than it is to the Vegas strip.

Diego
Paying homage to Mexico's culinary traditions through bold flavors, honest ingredients and modern techniques, Diego is a bright and vibrant restaurant featuring authentic dishes steeped in tradition and served with a twist. Treat yourself- and you taste buds - to a culinary journey decidedly south of the border.

Rainforest Cafe
Dine at a table surrounded by lush vegetation, cool mists, cascading waterfalls and creatures indigenous to the rainforest. Thunderstorms will crash overhead.

The Rainforest Cafe is part adventure, part restaurant and wholly entertaining.

MGM Grand Buffet
