Celebrity chef Hubert Keller is severing his ties with his two local restaurants: Fleur by Hubert Keller in Mandalay Bay and Mandalay Place’s Burger Bar. Both of the restaurants are temporarily closed as a result of COVID-19. Their teams were informed of Keller’s departure on Wednesday, according to a spokeswoman for MGM Resorts International.

A statement from the company reads, in part, “After a 16-year-run as one of Las Vegas’ most popular burger destinations, Burger Bar at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place will not re-open under the direction of Hubert Keller. MGM Resorts hopes to reopen Burger Bar in the future with a new hospitality partner.
