Mainstay of the L.A. restaurant scene sets opening date at The Venetian
A bit of California cuisine arrives on the Strip this winter. Gjelina, the Southern California mainstay known for its locally sourced ingredients and sustainable practices, is opening Dec. 26 at The Venetian, according to the property website.
The restaurant was born in 2008 in founder Fran Camaj’s apartment on Abbott Kinney Boulevard in Venice Beach. The restaurant is named after Camaj’s mother. Vegas marks a third Gjelina, after Venice Beach and a location in New York City.
