Celebrated chef, restaurateur and James Beard Award winner Michael Mina is going global at Mandalay Bay with Orla, the property announced Thursday. The new restaurant will draw on Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, North African, Western Asian and European cooking traditions, with a nod to the chef’s Egyptian heritage.
“I am honored to introduce Orla to the vibrant Las Vegas dining scene … with dishes inspired by my upbringing,” the chef said of the seafood-focused restaurant, set to debut this winter. “We look forward to sharing our culinary passion and creating special moments for all who visit.”
The opening of Orla marks another chapter “in the ‘new wave’ of Mandalay Bay and showcases an ongoing commitment to the evolution of our resort offerings,” said Chuck Bowling, Mandalay Bay president and chief operating officer.
