Multi-million dollar Olive Garden back on target for the Las Vegas Strip | Eater Vegas

"Planned for the third-floor, space 300 above the Las Vegas Strip’s first Target in the Showcase Mall, this national Italian-American chain is designing a large 12,564-square-foot restaurant with capacity for up to 413 guests and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of the Park MGM. The interior remodel carries an estimated $3,750,000 construction budget with JM Stitt Construction listed as contractor, though details on how to access the venue and an opening date have not been released. Known for menu staples such as the “Tour of Italy” plates, the “Never Ending Pasta Bowl,” and unlimited soup, salads and breadsticks, the concept would be one of the few nationally recognizable dining brands newly locating on the Strip; its first local restaurant opened in 2008 on Sunset Road in Henderson. The parent company also operates other nearby brands including The Capital Grille, Yard House and Bahama Breeze." - Bradley Martin
