Amazon.com today announced that Prime members in Las Vegas can now enjoy delivery from popular restaurants, including Red Robin, Buca di Beppo, Brio Tuscan Grille, Island Sushi & Grill, Grinders Pizza Lounge, Jessie Rae’s BBQ, and many more. Customers can now order super-fast delivery from more than 100 restaurants and have it delivered to neighborhoods including the Las Vegas Strip, the Arts District, Winchester, Spring Valley, Paradise, and Summerlin, just to name a few.

“Las Vegas is a mecca for great entertainment and great food,” said Gus Lopez, general manager of Amazon Restaurants. “Whether you want delicious dishes after a night of gambling and dancing or an easy dinner option for a low-key evening in, Amazon Restaurants is the solution for a convenient and super-fast meal delivered in an hour or less.”

. . . .

Prime members in Las Vegas can order from participating restaurants, browse menus, track the status of their delivery, and watch as their delivery driver travels from the restaurant to the delivery address in real time. For Prime members placing orders for delivery to the Las Vegas Strip, Amazon Restaurants offers curb-side pick-up for fast service.

Once an order is placed, the food will be delivered in one hour or less. Amazon Restaurants offers customers transparent pricing—there are no menu markups.

  1. Oh, what a shame. I was hoping they would deliver books to the restaurant so I could read while waiting for my dinner.

    *glyph of unconvincing mock confusion*

  2. Hmm… maybe Australia is different, but I thought takeaway/home delivered food was already a ‘thing’?
    Why make a big deal about getting food from these restaurants when it can’t possibly taste as good as food that is ordered, cooked and served when the meal is at its best?
    I admit I’m a foodie so I really don’t understand the attraction of this ‘service’.

    • Looking at the list, these are “mid-range” restaurants. Not five-star dining, nor the “Golden Arches.”

      The Vegas Strip could be different, but at least in my neck of the woods, these are not places that deliver. You have to get in the car, work through traffic, find someplace to park, wait for service… Much easier, and just about as fresh, if you have it delivered. Another big plus – if you have a hankering for a good hamburger, but the spouse is in the mood for Asian, domestic tranquility certainly benefits!

      I wouldn’t be surprised if those companies that do deliver now shed the headaches of managing it onto Amazon in the future. It is a nightmare to manage effectively – when your core expertise, after all, should be the food. Amazon is, after all, primarily a delivery company.
