Wynn’s Inaugural Food Festival Is a Celebration of Firsts

Long established as a city of debuts, superlatives, and spectacles, Las Vegas boasts a skyline that includes the largest spherical structure in the world, the Eiffel Tower, and even a replica of the Great Pyramid of Giza. For almost two decades in the sports and entertainment capital of the world, Wynn Las Vegas has epitomized gracious hospitality as the pinnacle five-star resort on the Las Vegas Strip and the top-rated independent hotel brand in the world. All the stars, accolades, and awards it has earned are a result of the top-tier amenities offered to guests from the moment they walk through the doors. Music and comedy headliners occupy Encore Theater weekly, Wynn’s restaurants are some of the most in-demand reservations in the city, and the accommodations and spa make frequent cameo appearances in top travel social media for their stunning design. While all these options drive countless luxury seekers to the resort year after year, it is the unwavering commitment to creating new, only-at-Wynn events and experiences that ensure discerning guests return again and again.
