Also on the festival's can't- miss list are afterparties at Foxtail, cooking demos, and an intimate multicourse dinner at Bazaar Meat, hosted by Andrés himself. The festival wraps with a Sunday brunch at chef Danny Elmaleh's old-Hollywood- inflected Mediterranean restaurant, Cleo. With hotels and casinos putting their resources behind elite restaurants and culinary events, Vegas has broad appeal for culinary festival- goers. Payard says it's hard to find such convenience in other food-driven cities. And, he notes, it pays for chefs to do their research here. "It's good to check out the new restaurants [in Vegas]. You know why? Because they have so much power; when they want a new concept in a restaurant, they can make it work. I think Las Vegas is like going to New York City. What do you want to eat tonight? You want Japanese, Chinese, French, Italian? That's the rhythm of the hotels. They're all different." Andrés expects plenty of, ahem, researchers this year. "When we held Dine-N-Dash at SLS, it was a great event. SLS is an amazing destination for people who love food, and I think this festival will draw a similar crowd."
