A World-Renowned Culinary Destination
— Julian Serrano
A native of Madrid, Chef Julian Serrano has received two James Beard awards: Best Chef Southwest and Best Chef California. Regarded as one of the finest culinary talents in the nation, Serrano’s long-held ambition was to share the secrets of Spanish cuisine at his own eponymous restaurant. That dream is Julian Serrano at CityCenter, a restaurant that stretches the boundaries of small plates with delectable interpretations of his native food. Flavor is abundant in the hot tapas and the detailed décor, and multiple à la carte menus showcase an ensemble of Serrano’s signature creations, including traditional and innovative paellas and seafood.

— Kerry Simon
Known as the Rock ’n’ Roll Chef, Chef Kerry Simon was the youngest executive chef ever appointed to the Plaza Hotel’s Edwardian Room, which almost immediately made the restaurant a New York hotspot for celebrities overnight. Now in Las Vegas, his focus is the Simon Restaurant and Lounge at the Palms. With focused flavors, Simon offers culinary adventures on an inventive menu of sushi, steak and seafood with a concentration on fresh seasonal items and quality organic ingredients. Inspired by his victory on The Food Network’s Iron Chef America over Iron Chef Cat Cora with the ultimate burger, Simon’s latest concept, KGB (Kerry’s Gourmet Burgers), is a uniquely inventive burger and Vodka bar at Harrah’s Las Vegas where Simon’s creativity and sense of adventure unite food and fun in an engaging environment.

— Masa Takayama
A Forbes- and Michelin-decorated chef and legendary sushi master, Chef Masa Takayama has a passion for the finest-sourced ingredients that create his unrivaled Japanese cuisine. Takayama’s first famed Las Vegas Japanese restaurant, barMASA, debuted at ARIA with selections of modern Japanese food from an à la carte menu. Takayama now will replace the former Shaboo with his new Tetsu, the first teppan concept in his culinary repertoire. Located within barMASA, Tetsu will be an intimate and interactive dining experience offering guests a taste of Chef Masa’s passion for Japanese grilling at four blackjack-style tables and two communal teppan grills seating up to 20. Highly skilled chefs will oversee the evening’s culinary entertainment—preparing, cooking and plating orders specific to each guest’s request and handselected vegetables and proteins from the produce table that serves as the room’s centerpiece.

Famous for a reason, these talented celebrity chefs offer the best in food creations and experiences for the senses.Las Vegas is the place to try them all.
