The
seventh annual Vegas Uncork’d kicked off in front of MGM Grand’s infamous
bronze lion statue where 40 chefs from Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Mandalay Bay
and MGM Grand gathered to mark the official beginning of festivities. After
each chef was presented with a customized, hand-painted magnum of Mionetto
Prosecco, attention turned to Michael Mina. He was filled with excitement as he
sabered a bottle of bubbly while Joel Robuchon applauded with approval. There
were rounds of cheers from both chefs and spectators as the sparkling
wine exploded out.
Later
in the evening, Caesars Palace hosted a series of Master Series Dinners where
Guy Savoy, Bobby Flay, François Payard, the Pellegrino Family, Gordon Ramsay,
Thomas Buckley and Michel Richard served up signature dishes at the same time
to a crowd of hungry diners.
Internationally renowned
chef and restaurateur Guy Savoy welcomed guests to his Caesars Palace
restaurant for a multi-course meal at Dinnertime Decadence with Guy

received a coveted Michelin Star. Guests at the dinner enjoyed Lobster,
Jumbo Lump Crab and Beets in Cold Steam, Artichoke and Black Truffle Soup and
Roasted Duck, Pea Puree, Morels and Canon of Carrot.
