Wynn Las Vegas Gathers Culinary Icons, Including Ducasse And Lagasse, For A Once-In-A-Lifetime Dinner
Revelry food festival returns in September. Wynn Las Vegas When Wynn Las Vegas' Revelry culinary festival arrives September 19 to 27, the hottest ticket will be the Icons Dinner, a once-in-a-lifetime meal from some of the world's most renowned chefs, including Alain Ducasse, Marcus Samuelsson, Emeril Lagasse, Dominique Crenn, Jacques Torres and Alfred Portale, the hotel exclusively shared with Forbes Travel Guide. During the 7 p.m. Sept. 27 dinner at the Four-Star hotel's new PISCES Bar & Seafare restaurant, a tasting menu will celebrate culinary excellence with each distinguished chef offering a signature dish. Alain Ducasse will be at the Icons Dinner. Wynn Las Vegas 'You're gonna really get dishes that defined these chefs throughout the years,' said chef Christopher Lee, vice president of Culinary Operations and Restaurant Development at Wynn Las Vegas. 'I really wanted to honor the bold, vibrant flavors of the Caribbean and the Bahamas,' Samuelsson said about his planned plate: jerk oxtail with lobster peas and rice, island curry, squash blossoms and pikliz (a pickled slaw). 'These places have given so much to global food culture.' 'The jerk oxtail brings that deep, smoky heat that I love, layered with spices that bring everything to the next level,' he said. 'Then we've got the lobster peas and rice, which nods to the Bahamian comfort classics but elevates it with that sweet, briny lobster that feels like a celebration.' The island curry pulls from both West Indian and African traditions, and the pikliz lends crunch, acid and a Haitian punch of flavor, he added. 'This dish is about connection between islands, cultures and kitchens.' Marcus Samuelsson will make jerk oxtail. Wynn Las Vegas According to Lee, the Icons were carefully chosen. 'They had to be, like OGs — iconic GOATs in the industry.' He then rattled off their bona fides: 'Marcus Samuelsson brought Scandinavian food to the forefront in New York City — his Ethiopian influence and his recent adventures are awesome. He's just dialed in.' Referencing Lagasse, Lee said, 'I know he's a big TV personality and some people might have opinions that he's more TV than culinary driven. But I will challenge that every day of the week because when he cooks for you, he cooks amazing food.' Lee said he's looking forward to meeting Alain Ducasse: 'When I was young, I was completely inspired by him.' Emeril Lagasse will cook up something special in Vegas. Wynn Las Vegas He added that Dominique Crenn, who returns for her second Revelry appearance, is one of the best chefs in the world. Lee also called Alfred Portale 'the godfather of New York City.' 'If you want to look at the chefs that really took New York American cuisine to the forefront, he's one of them.' And 'Jacques Torres is probably the most iconic chocolatier in the world,' he said. When Samuelsson reflects on his Icon status, he wants to pay it forward. 'I came to the U.S. 30 years ago, a young chef born in a hut in Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, with a dream about making it in New York City,' he said. 'Every part of that journey has shaped who I am today, and I don't take a second of it for granted. Being able now to give back and help raise up the amazing talents around me is the part of this stage of life that I value most.' The dinner will cap off the nine-day Revelry. Lee said what makes the food festival even more special is that it drew inspiration from Cirque du Soleil's residences to create 'immersive worlds' and add a Vegas spin. Rather than going to a tent to enjoy Chinese dim sum or Thai noodles, a set will transport you to Asia. There will also be more food-and-beverage-related entertainment this year. While Lee is leaving the specifics as a surprise, he said attendees can expect activities like last year's sacrificial cutting of a 350-pound tuna on stage with samurai swords. This will mark Dominique Crenn's second Revelry. Wynn Las Vegas Altogether, the second annual event will bring about 30 chefs to Vegas for a slate that includes culinary collaboration dinners (try the 'From Farm to Knife Lunch' with Katina and Kyle Connaughton of Five-Star SingleThread Farms Restaurant in Healdsburg and Jeff Ramsey of Wynn Las Vegas' Four-Star Mizumi) as well as 'connoisseur' classes (ranging from barbecue with pitmasters Burt Bakman of L.A.'s Slab and Daniel Castillo of San Juan Capistrano, California's Heritage Barbecue, to bourbon with Brother's Bond founder and actor Ian Somerhalder). Lee also will host an All-Star Dinner featuring chefs Angie Mar (Le B., New York), Gavin Kaysen (Spoon and Stable, Minneapolis), Fariyal Abdullahi (Hav & Mar, New York), JJ Johnson (Fieldtrip, New York) and pastry chefs Jennifer Yee (Wynn) and Juan Contreras (Atelier Crenn, San Francisco). Alfred Portale will bring New York cooking to Las Vegas. Wynn Las Vegas But the most coveted event will be the Icons Dinner — and not just for the guests. 'There's nothing more inspiring than coming together with culinary legends like Dominique Crenn, Alain Ducasse, Emeril Lagasse and Alfred Portale,' Samuelsson said. 'Each of them brings their own incredible flavor, story and spirit to the table. I can't wait to see the culinary power we create together and share that energy with every guest who joins us. Let's make it unforgettable.' The Icons Dinner will also serve craft cocktail pairings from Mariena Mercer Boarini, Wynn's master mixologist, and wines to complement each course from Brian Weitzman, the hotel's executive director of wine. Tickets to the dinner are available here.

Great Steaks, Poolside Champagne And Other New Reasons To Visit Las Vegas
Michael Mina and Josh Smith do it again at Bourbon Steak inside the Four Seasons. JMP Force Media As always, Las Vegas dining is about raising the stakes and creating new excitement in all kinds of baller ways. It's about merging great food and showmanship. As things in Vegas heat up this summer, here are some new ways to have a memorable dinner. When it comes to blockbuster Las Vegas restaurants, Josh Smith is a nonpareil executive chef who combines technical prowess and purposeful playfulness as he creates crowd-pleasing dishes. Smith (who previously ran the kitchens at Seablue, Bardot and Delilah) is back at the Michael Mina empire after a successful stint at Wynn Las Vegas, and he's having a blast at the new Bourbon Steak inside the Four Seasons. His new dishes include a creamed spinach pop tart with comté cheese and bechamel, which is a properly over-the-top Vegas way to eat a vegetable. Smith is focused on hyper-specific sourcing, so he celebrates American beef by serving both Creekstone Farms rib eyes and Snake River Farms wagyu rib cap while also showcasing top-tier Japanese and Australian wagyu. Dry-aged branzino and dry-aged Ōra King salmon are supplied by Liwei Liao's Joint Seafood. Blinis might seem boring after you've had caviar like this. JMP Force Media And there's all kinds of theatrical fun at Bourbon Steak in Las Vegas. A5 wagyu tartare, topped with a thin slice of A5 wagyu on a potato pavé and enhanced by the addition of fresh wasabi, is torched tableside. A Twinkie-shaped piece of cornbread is filled with yuzu crème fraîche and topped with oscietra caviar. Both of these luxurious appetizers are expertly constructed and thoroughly delicious. The flavors are big, but they're also balanced. This is the way Bourbon Steak (which has also opened New York and Delray Beach locations recently) rolls all over the country, and of course Mina classics like the lobster pot pie and the 'smoke show' tomahawk are available at the Four Seasons. For dessert, there are perfect beignets that you can dip into Macallan 12-year butterscotch pudding. If you're lucky, you might even be able to enjoy carajillo in dessert form, with the coffee cocktail transformed into a creamy concoction that's more of a pick-me-up than any tiramisu you've ever had. Like everything Smith does, Bourbon Steak in Las Vegas is about leveling up. Caramella serves lobster arrabbiata at Planet Hollywood. Joe Janet At this red-sauce restaurant inside Planet Hollywood, your server might highly recommend the cheesy garlic bread and suggest that you eat that with the cheese-stuffed veal Parm meatballs before getting the cheese-stuffed chicken Parm for your entree. For pastas, there's cavatelli Bolognese and properly spicy tomato penne, which pairs nicely with the 2-pound lobster arrabiata. Caramella is a Tao Group Hospitality restaurant that doesn't seem to care much about whether you're going out after dinner, and the Strip views on the patio (you can see the Bellagio fountain show here) might also want to make you linger. If you do want a post-meal stop, go find Caramella's hidden lounge. Hint: Look for the candy store. The Signature Seafood Buffet at Genting Palace Genting Palace, which serves upscale Chinese food at Resorts World, has launched an elegant buffet. Resorts World Las Vegas The high-end Chinese restaurant at Resorts World has launched a Wednesday-through-Sunday dinner buffet with an array of chilled seafood (including oysters and crab legs, of course) and standout dishes like West Lake-style minced beef soup, har gow and shrimp fried rice. Best of all is the carving station, which eschews the unexciting beef and ham you find at other buffets. Instead, Genting Palace serves beautifully rendered Beijing duck and crispy pork belly. You can create DIY buns with the duck, but eating it atop fried rice or noodles works nicely too. This is Las Vegas, so choose your own adventure. Nomikai Nomikai serves A5 wagyu sandos at the Venetian. Drex Agency The new sushi speakeasy and hand-roll counter at the Venetian riffs on the classics. Highlights include a miso black cod roll that might simultaneously remind you of both Nobu and Katsuya while being its own distinctly delicious and texturally pleasing bite. For an extra layer of flavor, you can dip your open-faced Hokkaido scallop and Alaskan king crab rolls into a yuzu green sauce or a chili red sauce. Order the premium hand-roll set and you'll also get a fancypants toro-and-caviar roll. The counter, like other hand-roll bars, works well for a quick meal while the speakeasy is where you can pair sake and cocktails with A5 wagyu sandos and nigiri flights. There's nitro matcha on tap and ube espresso martinis if you're looking to amp yourself up for a big night ahead. Sun Club Fontainebleau's Sun Club offers poolside Veuve Clicquot. Isabel Ng This breezy pool pop-up at Fontainebleau Las Vegas is a summery showcase for Veuve Clicquot and its newest cuvées: Rich and Rich rosé. Drink your bubbles in a setting that pops with yellow Veuve decor while eating La Cote double cheeseburgers and Caesar salads at your daybed or cabana. If this feels like a Champagne-powered European beach vacation, that's the entire point. Sun Clubs are also popping up in destinations like Ibiza, Mykonos, Capri and Saint-Tropez this year.
