It’s sure to be a delicious month in Las Vegas when The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards are handed out at Wynn Las Vegas on June 5. Marking the second time the event has been held in the United States—following its appearance in New York in 2016—the historic moment once again shines a spotlight on the Entertainment Capital of the World, a place where celebrity chefs, mixologists and vintners dream of seeing their names in the city’s neon lights. More than 1,000 anonymous global culinary experts will each offer up their 10 favorite foodie experiences in the last 18 months to determine the list, which is tallied by Deloitte and sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna.
To toast the occasion—made possible through a partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) and Wynn Las Vegas—a brand-new culinary extravaganza dubbed Revelry will take place from June 5 to 8. Held at Wynn Las Vegas, the festival will bring together the world’s most lauded chefs and beverage experts for a lineup of exclusive dining experiences, master classes and more. “Las Vegas has become a premier culinary destination for visitors from around the world, and Wynn has set the standard for celebrating and experiencing the culinary arts,” shares Brian Gullbrants, COO of Wynn Resorts North America. “Revelry will showcase Wynn’s unmatched hospitality, offering guests exceptional food, spirits and entertainment experiences.” Here’s your guide to the best of Revelry.
