When it comes to casino resorts with food halls, variety is key. Diners often crave a bit of everything without having to travel far. The Venetian’s Via Via Food Hall, which opened in the summer of 2025, brings together flavors from the best food cities—Los Angeles, New Orleans, and New York. Here’s a look at some standout dishes that I couldn’t resist during my visit.
Fried Bologna Sandwich at Turkey and the Wolf ($16)
Chef Mason Hereford is known for his fun and inventive sandwiches. His fried bologna sandwich is reminiscent of childhood. It features crispy bologna, melted American cheese, zesty mustard, and crunchy potato chips sandwiched between two slices of Texas toast. The mix of flavors and textures brings a wave of nostalgia.
Tokyo Shio at Ivan Ramen ($18)
This spot first took root in Tokyo before setting up shop in Manhattan. Via Via is its debut on the West Coast. The Tokyo Shio ramen boasts roasted tomato and a rich broth. The rye noodles are springy and soak up all that delicious flavor. I found myself slurping every last drop!
The Hotboi at Scarr’s Pizza ($10)
Scarr’s Pizza has made a name for itself among New York tourists, and now Las Vegans can enjoy it too. Their pizza features house-milled dough that offers a perfect chewy texture. I tried the Sicilian-style Hotboi slice topped with jalapeños, pepperoni, and a drizzle of Mike’s Extra Hot Honey. The sweet honey balances the spice, making each bite a delight.
Jumbo Tenders at Howlin’ Ray’s ($15)
Originating from Nashville and landing in LA, Howlin’ Ray’s chicken is worth the hype. I decided to try the crispy jumbo tenders on their own with a side of the signature Comeback Sauce. The tenders are perfectly seasoned and crunchy, and the sauce adds a tangy kick. Pairing them with homemade spicy dill pickles transforms the experience into a craving-worthy meal.
Food halls like Via Via are tapping into a trend that encourages exploration and community. According to a recent survey by the National Restaurant Association, 90% of diners enjoy trying new cuisines and flavors. This reflects a growing appetite for diverse dining experiences, making places like Via Via increasingly popular.
Our society is leaning toward varied culinary experiences, where food becomes not just a meal but a journey. With its impressive lineup of food options, Via Via invites everyone to take that delicious journey, one bite at a time.
