The first time I visited Southern California's Eataly location in Century City, I was floored by all the wonders the Italian marketplace and food hall had to offer. They had authentic Italian meats, pastas, cheeses, as well as a bevy of restaurants that highlighted the spirit of traditional Italian cooking. It was a veritable playground of sorts for anyone in love with the culture and its expression through food.

Now, one of the most iconic cities in the country will be getting their very own spot to boast.

Eataly is opening its first-ever location in Las Vegas and the authentic Italian market place will find a home at the new resort Park MGM in December.

"Eataly Las Vegas will showcase our continued evolution," Nicola Farinetti, CEO of Eataly USA, said. "We are integrating our retail store and restaurants further than ever before to create a more immersive and interactive experience surrounding premier food offerings."

Las Vegas will be the sixth US location for Eataly, with 35 total locations worldwide. The new Park MGM will feature culinary programs which include Roy Choi's Best Friend, Bavette's Steakhouse, and NoMad restaurant.

With the hundreds of activities that Las Vegas has to offer, Eataly's newest spot has just climbed to the top of the list
