Orla - Mandalay Bay

Upscale Mediterranean Flavors in the Heart of the Strip

Located inside the luxurious Mandalay Bay Resort, Orla is a stylish Mediterranean restaurant that brings a bold, coastal vibe to the Las Vegas dining scene. With its elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, Orla blends modern design with warm, inviting touches — think amber lighting, sleek wood finishes, and a menu inspired by the sun-soaked coasts of Greece, Morocco, and Italy. Just minutes from major concert venues on the Strip, it’s a well-placed spot to fuel up before the show or unwind afterward.

Why Concert-goers love it

Conveniently located in the same complex as many popular performance spaces, Orla makes it easy to plan dinner and a show without the stress of travel. The restaurant’s attentive service and well-organized staff mean you won’t be left checking your watch — even on a busy night. Guests mention that reservations are honored promptly, and the atmosphere is vibrant but never too loud, making it a great place to catch up before the music begins.
