What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon is a French tasting-counter restaurant at MGM Grand, seating diners around an open kitchen in a workshop-style room that a 2016 Time Out review said served smaller, less expensive plates than chef Joel Robuchon's more formal restaurant in the same hotel. The concept originated in Paris before Robuchon brought his Atelier format to several cities worldwide, with the Las Vegas version opening inside MGM Grand. A Yelp listing for L'Atelier, updated in September 2026 with more than 1,300 reviews and 6,700 photos, lists it at 3799 Las Vegas Boulevard South without any closed or temporarily-closed label, unlike the neighboring, separately run Joel Robuchon restaurant in the same hotel, which a Yelp listing updated in July 2026 marks as temporarily closed. No 2026-dated news coverage independent of Yelp was located to confirm L'Atelier's current hours or operating status.
