How To Enjoy The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards In Las Vegas
02.05.2024 - 13:39 / forbes.com / El Bulli
Launched in London more than 20 years ago, the World’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards has become one of the most important ratings in the rarefied world of top tier fine dining (though not without some criticism and controversy). But regardless what people think of the process behind selection, there’s no doubt that some of the big winners over the years have in fact been some of the world’s very best, places like Spain’s El Bulli, England’s The Fate Duck, Italy’s Osteria Francescana, Denmark’s Noma and in the U.S. notables have included Napa Valley’s French Laundry and New York City’s Eleven Madison Park.
Also, despite the name, the World’s Best List actually goes up to 100, and is split into the first 50 and second 50. There are also many sub-lists, including best by region (Asia, Latin America, North America, etc.) and other genres such as best bars and hotels.
The winners are announced once each year, and the actual awards ceremony has become a big thing in the food and travel industry, full of pomp and circumstance, and for 2024, the show is coming to Las Vegas. The actual awards are at Wynn Las Vegas on June 5, and there’s not much for the public, as the organizers have described the audience as “the world’s leading chefs, gastronomic media and renowned culinary VIPs.”
But for everyone else, there is an impressive slate of public events surrounding the awards, especially at two big hitters in the city’s culinary scene, Wynn Las Vegas and Resorts World Las Vegas. More ancillary foodie actvities are expected to be added at other properties and independent restaurants on and off The Strip as it gets closer.
Wynn has the most Forbes Stars (hotels, spas, and restaurants) under one roof of any resort in the country, and you can read my detailed resort profile here at Forbes. Wynn is rolling out a new weeklong culinary festival called Revelry (ticket info and related info at this site) to go with its role as the awards’ host. Highlights include:
Monday, June 3: 50 Best Signature Sessions (Casa Playa). Things kick off with a five-course South of the Broder dinner by Wynn’s Casa Playa Chef Sarah Thompson and Elena Reygadas of Mexico City’s Rosetta (World’s Best Female Chef 2023). 50 Best Signature Sessions are collaborative dinners between chefs from The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list and Wynn’s top restaurants. (All Signature Series Reservations here).
50 Best Signature Sessions (Mizumi): Another special seated collaboration, Japan meets Thailand, with Bangkok Chef Thitid Tassanakajohn of Le Du (15th Best in World 2023) and Pichaya Soontornyanakij of Bangkok’s Potong (Best Female Chef Asia 2024) joining Chef Jeff Ramsey of Wynn’s Mizumi.
Tuesday, June 4: 50 Best Signature Sessions (Sinatra). Italian food
