Vegas Uncork’d — an annual four-day food, wine and spirits festival presented by Bon Appetit, now in its eleventh year — saw some of the world’s top culinary talent showcase their signature dishes. But foodies can experience signature dishes from celebrity chefs in flagship restaurants year-round, thanks to the city’s sizzling culinary scene.

1) Las Vegas has arguably more celebrity chefs and world-class restaurants than any other city in the world, and Vegas Uncork’d 2017, which took place in April, showcased the latest and greatest.

2) The Grand Tasting — the festival’s signature event — showcased dishes prepared by more than 50 award-winning chefs in the five-acre Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis at Caesars Palace Las Vegas Hotel & Casino.
