Celebrity Chefs in Las Vegas

MORE THAN 40 CELEBRITY CHEFS have restaurants on the Strip. We chatted with some of the top concierges in Las Vegas about some of their favorite chefs. ALAN DE LEON, TOWER SUITE REPRESENTATIVE AT ARIA Chef José Andrés, for bringing Spanish cuisine to a whole new level in Las Vegas, with his restaurants Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at SLS, Jaleo at Cosmopolitan and é by José Andrés (inside Jaleo). NORMA CABRERA, CONCIERGE AT THE MIRAGE It’s a tie between Michael Mina and Tom Colicchio. You know they’re good when they have multiple restaurants.

JONES TANTOCO, CONCIERGE AT THE DELANO Chef Hubert Keller! I’m so lucky that I met him at his restaurant and became friends. He is an amazing, kind, generous, sincere and down-to-earth celebrity chef. KATHLEEN HOPAY, CONCIERGE AT MANDALAY BAY I love Giada at the Cromwell. As she says, “It is a little bit of everything but not a lot of anything,” and the restaurant is open for brunch, lunch

and dinner. I recommend ordering the eggplant tapenade, lemon spaghetti and the lemon ricotta cookies. Incredible flavors and the presentation is always top notch. A fabulous view of The Fountains of Bellagio along with outstanding service makes this a stand out in my opinion.

MARCEY ESSES, CONVENTION SPECIALIST AT MORRIS VISITOR PUBLICATIONS Giada at The Cromwell. The view the food as well as the staff all create a great dining experience. MARK MILLER, CONCIERGE AT MANDALAY BAY AND THE DELANO Charlie Palmer. DAVID MCMAHON, WALDORFASTORIA CONCIERGE It is hard to pick only one celebrity chef since I enjoy various styles of cooking and each chef’s specific attributes. A few of my favorites include Joel Robuchon, Julian Serrano, Michael Mina, Jose Andres, Wolfgang Puck, Thomas Keller and Scott Conant. CECILIA ALLRED, THE CONCIERGE SUPERVISOR AND THE VENETIAN AND PALAZZO I can only pick one? I can’t! I really have to say Alain Ducasse at Rivea at the Delano and Hubert Keller at Fleur at Mandalay Bay. Not only are they phenomenal Chefs and their restaurants set standards, they are both so supportive of concierge.
