"Closed by the Southern Nevada Health District on Thursday, January 2 following an inspection, the chef’s restaurant at the MGM Grand was shut down after multiple violations reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The multi-day closure covered the restaurant plus the prep kitchen, butcher shop, bar, hot line, server station, and exhibition kitchen. Health district officials cited issues related to pest control and food safety, noting violations such as inadequate measures to prevent contamination, improper food handling, and potential cross-contamination risks; in total, 42 demerits were assigned across several operations, though no demerits were reported for the bar and server station. According to the restaurant’s website, it remained closed over the weekend but was scheduled to reopen for dinner service at 5 p.m. on Monday, January 6. The chef opened this Bar & Grill at the MGM Grand in 1992 after the success of Spago, and his other Las Vegas restaurants—Caramá at Mandalay Bay, Cut at the Venetian Resort, and 1228 Main downtown—remain open." - Janna Karel
"Exciting: celebrity chefs venturing out into the ‘burbs. (For example, Wolfgang Puck’s 1228 Main in the Arts District, and Michael Mina’s involvement in the Sundry at Uncommons.)" - Janna Karel
"Though it is one of the pricier restaurants, the gluten-free menu does not disappoint at Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill at the MGM Grand. Order the gluten-free spaghettini pasta, combined with plum tomatoes, basil and garlic or the gluten-free grilled Scottish salmon with heirloom potatoes, pearl onions, asparagus and arugula, topped with a charred Leek sauce." - Agnes Poliquin
"Serves California-style margherita pizza and grilled Scottish salmon. Breakfast offerings include buttermilk pancakes with warm apple compote, a breakfast burrito with spicy chorizo, and huevos rancheros." - Susan Stapleton
"Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill at the MGM Grand will serve a special menu for New Year’s Eve that includes French onion soup for $14, Maine lobster for $44, a Wagyu beef duo for $65, and a Kir Royale ice cream float for $18." - Susan Stapleton, Krista Diamond
