Restaurants

From popular chain spots to independently owned restaurants, Providence has plenty of restaurant variety.

Treat your taste buds to a truly authentic Mexican feast at Leticia's Mexican Cocina, where their expert chefs prepare the food daily and serve it family style instead of individually. Visually stunning from the outside, the moment you walk through the doors and sit among the beautiful Spanish tile and genuine decor, you begin to understand the importance of tradition and the value of a sit down dinner with family.

For a more eclectic dining experience, head over to Lulu's Bread and Breakfast where the atmosphere has a barn-like feel to it and the server wears thick, horn-rimmed glasses that make her look like she just stepped out of a 60s diner and happened to wind up here. Addressing each customer as "baby", she serves up tasty breakfast burritos, guava and chocolate croissants, homemade breads and hearty salads and sandwiches, all while seeming to enjoy every single second of it.

Nightlife in Providence includes anything from a low-key night out at a nearby bar, or wild and crazy fun on the famous Las Vegas Strip. Shucks Tavern & Oyster bar has a relaxed vibe and casual atmosphere that makes it the ideal spot to catch up with friends on a Friday night.

Venturing to the strip means endless nightclubs, bars and music venues to choose from, whether you're in the mood to take in a show at MGM Grand Hotel or The House Of Blues, or check out the famous Ghost Bar featured on MTV's The Real World, Las Vegas. Just remember what happens here, stays here.
