Emmy Award-winning and New York Times best-selling celebrity chef, Giada De Laurentiis treated guests to a multi-course dining experience that left them dreaming of the rich and savory flavors of Italian cuisine.

Whisky and steak connoisseurs savored a four-course meal including foie gras napoleon, roasted black cod, wagyu rib cap and Macallan chocolate mousse. Guests finished the perfect evening with The Macallan 25 Year Old for a culinary night to remember.
Lisa Vanderpump served glitz and glamour at the all-new Vanderpump Cocktail Garden inside Caesars Palace. Guests enjoyed sweet and savory bites paired with Lisa’s favorite wine and cocktails amidst a lush, candle-lit indoor garden. Lisa surprised the crowd when she brought out a Vanderpump Rosé-themed cake and asked guests to join her in singing “Happy Birthday” to her daughter, Pandora Vanderpump Sabo.
