      As part of its rebranding, the Delano Las Vegas has been rolling out a number of new restaurants, including Della’s Kitchen.

      Della’s is a cafe that offers breakfast and lunch options and is located near the lobby.

      The idea behind the kitchen is a "historic farmhouse meets urban kitchen," with warm colors and industrial elements.

      Della’s offers comfort food and seasonal specialties, all made with fresh, local ingredients.

      Della’s Kitchen is open seven days a week from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

    • Shaanxi Gourmet

      Shaanxi Gourmet, the Chinese restaurant that was a hit last year, was shut down Sept. 16 by the Southern Nevada Health District.

      Just last year the restaurant received an "A" from the health district.

      Shaanxi opened in January of 2013 and specialized in dishes like lamb burgers and cold noodles.

      Shaanxi Gourmet can request a re-inspection after the issues are fixed. The restaurant is located on 3400 S. Jones Blvd.
