For the first time, The World’s 50 Best Restaurants brought its renowned celebration to the vibrant lights of Las Vegas, hosted at the iconic Wynn Las Vegas. Over 1,200 attendees from around the world gathered for this multi-day event, honoring the top 50 restaurants globally, as judged by fine dining experts.
I had the privilege of serving as Creative Director for the 50 Best project, helping shape the overall creative vision and ensuring a seamless experience. I also designed and produced the sponsor booths for Kaviari and Amex/Resy, crafting spaces that added a memorable and interactive element to the event.
The festivities featured #50BestTalks, where renowned chefs shared their insights and creativity shaping the food and beverage industry. Attendees enjoyed unique culinary creations, including fisheye ice cream by Chef Josh Niland, a ‘celtuce celebration’ cocktail by Chef Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park, and a reimagined cosmic brownie by Chef Kwame Onwuachi of Top Chef and Tatiana.
Sponsors like San Pellegrino + Acqua Panna, Estrella Damm, Craft Irish Whiskey, and Tequila Ocho contributed exceptional cocktails and bites. The event was capped by entertainment from Justin & The Swingbeats, blending classic Vegas hits with jazzy twists for an unforgettable culinary celebration.
