Epicurean Affair Returns to Flamingo on May 31

The Las Vegas culinary scene has been elevated in recent years with so many top level chefs and gourmet restaurants that deciding where to start may be hard for most. If that’s the case with you, may I suggest next weekend’s Epicurean Affair at the Flamingo?

In its 17th year, the event, co-hosted by the Nevada Hotel & Lodging Association (NHLA) and the Nevada Restaurant Association (NvRA), is a culinary showcase of over 100 restaurants. Among those participating are Bradley Ogden, Charlie Palmer Steak, Bouchon, Social House and L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon.

For the second year, the event will be held poolside at the resort, and feature opportunities to sample a wide range of cuisine while strolling around a range of unique environments, which last year included a sand pit and a “rave cave,” along with a variety of live entertainment.

Tickets are available for $125 per person or $1,000 for a package of 10 in advance, as well as $150 per person at the door, if the event isn’t sold out. To purchase tickets, call the Flamingo Las Vegas at 702-733-3333.

Proceeds from the Epicurean Affair, which starts at 7pm on May 31, will benefit the educational programs of the Nevada Hospitality and Lodging Association.
