Six MGM Resorts restaurants honoured in inaugural MICHELIN Guide Southwest as Michelin returns to Las Vegas after 17 years
MGM Resorts has earned four Michelin Stars across three restaurants at the inaugural Michelin Guide Southwest Ceremony, more than any other Las Vegas resort operator.
Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand earned the Southwest region’s only Two Michelin Star award, while L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon and é by José Andrés each earned One Michelin Star. Gymkhana, Michael Mina Bellagio and China Poblano by José Andrés also received Michelin recognition, bringing MGM Resorts’ total to six honoured restaurants. The results underscore the depth and diversity of MGM Resorts’ culinary portfolio while reinforcing Las Vegas as a world-class dining destination.
MGM Resorts’ showing extended beyond the Star awards, with China Poblano by José Andrés earning a Bib Gourmand and Gymkhana and Michael Mina Bellagio joining the Michelin Selected list. Sean Christopher, General Manager of Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand, also received the 2026 Michelin Service Award, recognising excellence in hospitality and service. Collectively, the distinctions highlight the range of dining experiences across MGM Resorts, from fine dining and intimate tasting menus to more accessible, globally inspired concepts.
“Michelin’s return gives us an extraordinary opportunity to showcase Las Vegas alongside the world’s great culinary destinations, and last night’s results affirm what this city has long known about the strength of our dining scene,” said Ari Kastrati, Chief Content, Development, and Hospitality Officer at MGM Resorts. “To earn more Michelin Stars than any other Las Vegas resort operator, while Joël Robuchon stands as the only Two-Star restaurant in the Southwest, is an extraordinary recognition of our chefs, partners and teams. The range of honours across our portfolio reflects the uncompromising standard of excellence we strive to deliver at every level of the dining experience.”
The return of the Guide provides a global benchmark for Las Vegas’ world-class culinary scene, recognizing its caliber of talent, international range and spirit of innovation.
