Netflix has just opened the doors of its new restaurant in Las Vegas with more than 70 themed dishes inspired by its catalogue. The platform is now playing inside the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino with a culinary space that will screen some of the world’s favourite films and series such as ‘Squid Game’, ‘Wednesday’ and ‘Stranger Things’.
Unlike its previous foray into the world of gastronomy with its Bites pop-up in Los Angeles, which ended up being a great success, the new Netflix Bites in Las Vegas will be open permanently, and will have a continuous service that will extend from breakfast to dinner.
The streaming giant has already spoiled us with some of the dishes that will be available on its menu, such as the ‘Too Hot to Handle’, a spicy Bloody Mary made with habañero vodka and cayenne candied bacon, and the Bridgerton Regency Tea, a three-tiered tea service with sandwiches, scones and cakes reflecting the different families from the hit series.
Meanwhile, for lunch, you can sample a bulgogi taco, influenced by the South Korean cuisine of Squid Game. The Korean thriller has also inspired other enigmatic dishes such as the ‘Red Bite, Green Bite’, a snack that is ‘a challenge from the Spinner – spin the wheel to decide your fate – with fried chicken and dipping sauces’, according to Netflix.
There are even drinks that channel the flavours of Squid Game, such as the Dalgona Rum Buzz, a creamy rum and coffee cocktail with a garnish of Dalgona caramel. Love reality show junkies might prefer to opt for the Love Is Blind, though, because this customisable cocktail comes in the show’s signature golden goblet, which you can take home with you.
‘NETFLIX BITES is a new way to experience fans’ favourite movies and series. When our fans find a series they love, they don’t just want to like it, they want to experience it. No city in the world knows better how to immerse fans in over-the-top worlds than Las Vegas. MGM, known for its world-class hospitality and entertainment, is the ideal creative partner to deliver fun, original stories through memorable food and drink experiences,’ said Josh Simon, Netflix’s VP of Consumer Products, in a press release.
NETFLIX BITES is located at 3799 Las Vegas Blvd South Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 on the casino floor near the entrance.
