Walk straight to Restaurant Guy Savoy or Nobu after the show
Because the Colosseum sits inside Caesars Palace, post-show fans don't have to leave the property to find world-class dining: Michelin-starred Restaurant Guy Savoy, Nobu Caesars Palace (Matsuhisa's largest Nobu), Bobby Flay's Amalfi, and Giada De Laurentiis' Pronto are all walkable on the same casino floor. Late-show reservations are the move; many post-residency dinners run past midnight.

Eat at Best Friend or Eataly before the show without leaving Park MGM
Roy Choi's Best Friend, an LA-Korean-Mexican mash-up of Choi's Kogi truck hits, sits right next to Eataly inside Park MGM, both a short walk from Dolby Live's entrance. Best Friend keeps later hours on Dolby Live show nights, making it the standard pre- or post-show option for fans who don't want to deal with the Strip.
