If you’ve ever wanted to literally sink your teeth into your favorite Netflix show, Netflix Bites in Las Vegas is your chance. Located at the MGM Hotel, this immersive dining experience is part pop-up restaurant, part fan fantasy. It’s where food meets film, where bites meet binge, and where your tastebuds take the same wild ride your eyeballs did during that ten-hour Stranger Things marathon.
Netflix Bites isn’t just another celebrity chef concept. It’s a curated menu from culinary stars behind Netflix’s biggest food hits like Orange is the New Black, and Stranger Things and Bridgerton. The dishes are artful, ambitious, and—thankfully—don’t come with a “skip intro” button. You’re going to want every single second.
First Impressions: Where Streaming Meets Scene
Walking into Netflix Bites feels like stepping inside a mashup of Squid Games and Stranger Things and a chef’s fever dream at the same time. The decor is full of bright, bold colors—think red, yellow and pink, dramatic lighting, and framed imagery of dishes from Squid Games, Bridgerton and neon pink signage hang on the walls like they’re priceless pop culture artifacts.
One of the coolest items is both art and food combined – Red Bite, Green Bite. A true Squid Games fan will recognize this immediately. It’s the first game contestants on the show played, unaware not following the rules means death. This dish comes with chicken bites and 3 sauces – red, yellow and green. Spin the wheel and dip your chicken into the sauce you land on.
The Menu: Blockbusters on a Plate
The menu is a greatest-hits reel of Netflix’s culinary programming. It’s split into small plates and shareables, which feels just right—you want to try as much as possible without slipping into a food coma before Act II.
- Eleven’s Feast (from Stranger Things): Of course, we all know this comes with waffles. It is a breakfast feast, fit for a king.
- Gorgeous Ladies Disco Fries (GLOW): I was bummed when they didn’t renew Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. It was a comedic show with a retro feel. I was sucked in immeidately. So I knew I had to get the disco fries on the menu when I saw them. And they totally lived up to the hype, just like the show.
- Orange is the New Mac (Orange is the New Black): A nod to those ladies rocking their prison threads, this dish comes toped with a dusting of hot cheetos.
- Dessert from Nailed It!: Make your own creative dessert from an assortment of goodies.
Drinks also play along, with cocktails inspired by Netflix characters. Try the “Mind Flayer”—a flashing drink is topped by a gigantic, overflowing purple cotton candy top, a la Stranger Things. One sip and you’re in another dimension, whether you get it with our without Bourbon (all cocktails can be made mocktails for the under 21 crowd).
Hours, Pricing & Planning Your Visit
Netflix Bites is open daily from 7 am – 2pm. Sunday – Thursday 7 PM to 10 PM, with weekend brunch rumored to be launching soon. Reservations are strongly encouraged via OpenTable—walk-ins are accepted, but the waitlist can run long, especially on show nights.
As for price: Expect to pay $16–$28 per small plate and $14–$18 per cocktail. Not cheap, but think of it as buying dinner and a ticket to a live-action art installation. Or at least a really sexy food documentary.
Why Netflix Bites Deserves a Spot on Your Vegas Itinerary
Let’s be honest: Vegas is full of gimmicks. But Netflix Bites isn’t a gimmick—it’s a curated celebration of the shows that made us fall in love with food on screen. It’s perfect for a birthday celebration, bachelorette groups, or something families can enjoy together.
The space is Instagrammable (but not just for the ‘gram), the service hits the mark, and each dish sparks conversation. It’s part museum, part dining room, and part love letter to the world’s most addictive streaming platform. No, really. I honestly wondered if this would be super gimmicky like a Rainforest Cafe but the food, is well thought out and things like the Bulgogi tacos and nachos were more than just an afterthought.
If I may, here’s some menu items they could add based on some of my favorites from Netflix:
“SoHo House Pasta” Squid Ink Fettuccine with Champagne Cream (Inventing Anna)
Elegant, dramatic, and just a little controversial—like Anna. This dish features rich cream sauce, truffle dust, and squid ink pasta served with an edible “wire transfer receipt” printed on rice paper.
“Knight’s Fork” Beef Wellington (Queen’s Gambit)
A play on the classic dish and chess term, this Wellington hides surprises—perhaps an herby mushroom duxelle with a touch of bourbon, nodding to Beth’s Kentucky roots and her complicated relationship with indulgence.
“Identity Crisis” Layer Cake (The Tourist)
Chocolate and coconut sponge with hidden layers of mango gelée and chili syrup. Served with a “passport” chocolate plaque you have to crack open to reveal your flavor profile. Nothing is as it seems.
So the next time you’re building your Vegas weekend like a Netflix queue—strip shows, slot machines, Cirque du Soleil—add Netflix Bites. It’s the crossover episode you didn’t know you needed.
