Orla

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Chef Michael Mina's Love Letter to the Mediterranean

Orla is Chef Michael Mina's tribute to the flavors and traditions stretching from Egypt to Western Europe. Situated inside Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip, the restaurant brings together timeless Mediterranean ingredients and contemporary technique — charcoal-roasted meats, stunning seafood, and bright, zesty vegetables prepared with evident care.

The menu reads as a mosaic of the region's culinary range. A Macaroni Béchamel arrives with mushroom duxelles, Parmigiano Reggiano, and black truffle. The Kebab Platter brings together filet mignon, kofta, and chicken dolmas alongside tangerine labneh, smoked eggplant dip, saffron basmati rice, and pita. A Hawaij Spiced New York Striploin is served with matbucha, charred scallion, and white yam. Each dish reflects the breadth of a cuisine that rarely gets this kind of focused, high-craft attention in Las Vegas.

A Wine List Built Around the Mediterranean

The wine program is a serious undertaking. With more than 1,600 labels, the list concentrates on wineries from throughout the Mediterranean region — Lebanon, Santorini, Croatia, Sicily, and Corsica among them — with some vintages dating back to the 1940s. That depth earned Orla Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2024, a recognition that speaks directly to the range and curation on offer. An inventive bar program exploring citrus, herbs, and spices rounds out the beverage experience, whether enjoyed with dinner or at the bar itself.

The Setting and the Experience

The atmosphere is resort casual — relaxed enough to feel welcoming, polished enough to mark an occasion. Outdoor seating is available, and the restaurant accommodates large groups of 15 or more through a dedicated group dining program. For those exploring Mediterranean cuisine in Las Vegas, Orla makes a compelling and well-credentialed case for the table.
