The Food Court is located inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, near the Mandalay Bay Convention Center and close to the entrance to Shark Reef Aquarium. It is one of the easiest places in the resort to grab a quick, familiar and relatively affordable meal without booking a table.
Mandalay Bay is one of the largest resorts on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, with a casino, convention space, beach-style pool complex, Shark Reef Aquarium, restaurants, shows and easy access to Luxor, Excalibur, Delano/W Las Vegas and Mandalay Place.
The food court is designed for speed and convenience. It is useful for hotel guests, convention attendees, families visiting Shark Reef Aquarium, and anyone who wants a quick bite before heading back to the casino, pool, show or convention floor.
Here’s your updated guide to the Mandalay Bay Food Court.
Mandalay Bay Food Court Restaurants
Current Mandalay Bay Food Court dining options include:
- Bonanno’s New York Pizzeria
- Johnny Rockets
- Nathan’s Famous Hotdogs
- Subway
- Pan Asian Express
- Greens Plus
The original version of this article listed five restaurants. The current official food court page now also lists Greens Plus, a health-focused fast-casual option serving items like acai bowls, wraps, sandwiches and smoothies.
The food court itself is listed as open 24 hours, but that does not mean every restaurant inside it is open 24 hours. Subway is currently the main 24-hour option. Most other counters close in the evening, so check the individual restaurant hours if you are arriving late.
Expect typical resort food court pricing. It is usually cheaper and faster than a full-service Mandalay Bay restaurant, but it is still inside a major Strip resort, so prices are higher than a neighborhood fast-food location.
Bonanno’s New York Pizzeria
- Price: $-$$
- Food Options: New York-style pizza, Stromboli, garlic knots, pasta-style items and breakfast favorites during breakfast hours
- Hours: Monday-Thursday 10am-8pm, Friday-Saturday 10am-9pm, Sunday 10am-8pm
Bonanno’s New York Pizzeria is the food court’s pizza option. It focuses on artisanal New York-style pizza made with traditional techniques and modern equipment.
The old article described pizza, pasta, meatballs and baked ziti. The current Mandalay Bay page highlights New York-style slices, Stromboli, garlic knots and breakfast favorites during breakfast hours.
This is one of the easiest choices if you want something quick, filling and familiar. It is also a good option for families because pizza is usually the safest group order in a food court.
Johnny Rockets
- Price: $-$$
- Food Options: Burgers, fries, milkshakes and American diner favorites
- Hours: Monday-Thursday 8am-8pm, Friday-Saturday 8am-9pm, Sunday 8am-8pm
Johnny Rockets is the food court’s classic American burger counter. It serves the familiar mix of burgers, fries, shakes and diner-style comfort food.
This is a practical pick if you want something more substantial than a hot dog or sandwich but still do not want a full-service meal. It works well for lunch, early dinner or a quick meal with kids.
The Mandalay Bay location is inside the food court, so expect a faster, more casual version of the Johnny Rockets experience rather than a full retro diner meal.
Nathan’s Famous Hotdogs
- Price: $-$$
- Food Options: Hot dogs, crinkle-cut fries, Philly cheesesteaks, chicken sandwiches and quick American bites
- Hours: Daily 11am-8pm
Nathan’s Famous Hotdogs has been serving its famous hot dogs since 1916, and the Mandalay Bay food court location brings that classic fast-food brand to the resort.
If you want something fast, simple and easy to eat, this is one of the more straightforward options in the food court. Hot dogs and fries are the obvious orders, but the current Mandalay Bay page also notes Philly cheesesteaks, chicken sandwiches and breakfast-style staples.
Nathan’s is useful for a quick lunch or early dinner, especially when you do not want to spend time on a full restaurant meal.
Pan Asian Express
- Price: $-$$
- Food Options: Stir-fry, dumplings, noodles, rice dishes and Asian fast-casual favorites
- Hours: Daily 11am-8pm
Pan Asian Express is the Asian fast-casual option in Mandalay Bay’s Food Court. It offers made-to-order stir-fry, dumplings and noodles.
Current menu examples listed by Mandalay Bay include Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Beef and Broccoli and Crispy Cashew Shrimp. This makes it a good choice if you want something warm and savory instead of pizza, burgers or sandwiches.
It is not a full-service Asian restaurant, but it works well when you need a fast meal before a convention session, Shark Reef visit or evening plans.
Subway
- Price: $-$$
- Food Options: Sandwiches, wraps, salads, cookies, breakfast and soft drinks
- Hours: Open 24 hours daily
Subway is the most useful late-night option in Mandalay Bay’s Food Court because it is currently listed as open 24 hours.
You can order sandwiches, wraps, salads, cookies and drinks, with pickup and delivery options shown on Subway’s own location page. Since meals are made in front of you, Subway is also one of the easiest food court choices if you want to customize ingredients.
If you arrive at the food court late at night and most other counters are closed, Subway is the option most likely to still be open.
Greens Plus
- Price: $-$$
- Food Options: Acai bowls, wraps, sandwiches, smoothies and healthier fast-casual dishes
- Hours: Check current food court or Mandalay Bay listings before visiting
Greens Plus is the newest important addition to the Mandalay Bay Food Court lineup. It gives the food court a lighter, healthier option beyond the older fast-food mix.
Mandalay Bay describes Greens Plus as a health-focused choice offering fast-casual dishes such as acai bowls, wraps, sandwiches and smoothies.
This is useful if you want something fresher before a pool day, convention meeting or long walk through the resort. It is also a better fit for guests who do not want burgers, hot dogs, pizza or heavier Asian dishes.
