Vegas Uncork'd Celebrates the World of Culinary Arts

Las Vegas (January 21, 2010) -- Vegas Uncork'd Presented by Bon Appetit will be held May 6-9 in Las Vegas, coinciding with this year's Mother's Day weekend. The four-day fete features new events, new chefs and a diverse and richly enhanced program with the ultimate who's who in the food world, celebrating the status of Las Vegas as an international gastronomic destination.

In 2009, Vegas Uncork'd Presented by Bon Appetit experienced record attendance across the board--featuring an increase in participating chefs, new business partners and sponsors, and a 17 percent spike in ticket sales year over year. Building on that momentum, this year will feature more than 30 events blending the worlds of food, gaming and entertainment in the distinct way that makes Las Vegas so memorable.

The playground for Vegas Uncork'd Presented by Bon Appetit is destination wide and features this year's anchor partner resorts, each of which offers an enviable roster of on-site restaurants and in-house chefs: Bellagio, Caesars Palace, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay and Wynn | Encore. Joining the lineup for the first time this year as an associate partner is The Venetian | The Palazzo. The event's charitable partner is the Three Square Food Bank, which is dedicated to providing wholesome food to hungry people, while passionately pursuing a hunger-free community.

"Due to its cuisine and its international draw, Las Vegas is a global destination that offers fun in a unique setting," said Bon Appetit Vice President and Publisher Paul Jowdy. "Vegas Uncork'd Presented by Bon Appetit is a perfect opportunity to see the breadth of Las Vegas with its chefs and resorts paving the way."

Bon Appetit magazine is increasing its rate base to 1.5 million, helped by the recent closure of Gourmet magazine. WWD reported on October 29, 2009:

"When Gourmet closed, its readers received sister publication Bon Appétit to fulfill what was left of their Gourmet subscriptions. In January, Bon Appétit will use that sub file to help boost its rate base 15 percent, to 1.5 million from 1.3 million."
