According to the James Beard Foundation, which will host the event, “Valentine’s Day meets Vegas glam when talented toques from the luxurious Westgate Las Vegas make their grand debut at the Beard House. From a lavish steakhouse to an Italian trattoria, you won’t want to miss the resort’s jackpot-worthy cuisine at this evening of high-rolling Sin City allure.” The dinner will feature such delicacies as Sea Scallop with Cannellini Bean Purée, Winter Truffles and Nueske’s Bacon; Sunchoke Agnolotti with Trumpet Royale Mushrooms, Pearl Onions, and Micro-Arugula; Snake River Farms New York Strip Steak and Beef Rib with Potato Purée, Creamed Swiss Chard and Cipolline; and more.

The privilege of cooking in the former townhome of America’s culinary icon James Beard (1903-85) is reserved for the nation’s leading chefs.
