Rí Rá

Rí Rá is an Irish pub located in The Shoppes at Mandalay Place. That’s the walkthrough connecting Luxor and Mandalay Bay. Just like Nine Fine Irish Men in New York New York, it’s an ‘authentic’ Irish pub transported to Vegas from Ireland. Well that what they both say!

For years I’d heard lots good reviews about Rí Rá from many YouTube vloggers, but just never got around to trying out for myself. Although I’d had some enjoyable evenings at Nine Fine Irish Men, I’d never been very impressed with the food offering (particularly for vegetarians). And I think that may put me off trying Rí Rá.

So when I was staying at Excalibur I decided it was time to try it out. I headed over for breakfast and although I had just missed the 11am breakfast cut off, they still allowed me to have something from the breakfast menu. It was new year’s day so I think they may have extended breakfast until 12pm.

It’s quite unassuming from the outside but the inside is really big, with several rooms, each with there own character, and some that can be booked fro private parties. We were seated in the middle section opposite one of the bars.

There were several TV’s around showing football and they even had signs on the TV’s to tell you what they would be showing on each screen later in the day. So it would be a good place to catch English football over breakfast and I’m pretty sure theye would be accommodating if you wanted to request a certain match on a screen near you.

Food

There’s an extensive breakfast menu, including a few vegetarian options (see the full breakfast menu on the RíRá website). I went for the Veggie benedict, which was really good. There were also plenty of the usual American type breakfast options with an Irish twist. I also noticed they also have some of the breakfast options on their all day menu too.

The service was friendly and efficient (as it often is in Vegas) and the food service was quick and everything felt freshly cooked.

Just some eggs, with turkey sausage (January 2026)

As far as drinks were concerned I went with coffee on this occasion, but there is obviously a full bar and I would imagine the Guiness would be pretty good here!

Overall I would highly recommend RíRá for breakfast and it definitely worth seeking out. It feels like a bit of a hidden gem and I will definitely be returning on another visit soon.
