The Venetian® and the Palazzo® Las Vegas Unmask Summer with Carnevale, Inspired by the Festivals of Italy

The magic of Carnevale is heating up and it is a Foodie’s Paradise! Most recently The Venetian & The Palazzo Las Vegas enjoyed a summer concert with Sammy Hagar and a delicious BBQ by Emeril Lagasse. More than 1,200 fans were in attendance for the event held at The Venetian Pool as part of the resorts’ summer-long Carnevale celebration. On the grill, Lagasse enticed guests with slow-roasted Hawaiian pork on sweet Hawaiian rolls, BBQ baby back ribs, and New Orleans creole boiled fresh corn on the cob, among other delicious eats.

Sammy Hagar and The Wabos put on an hour-and-a-half performance for party-goers that included fan favorites I Can’t Drive 55 and Right Now. Carnevale is a three-month celebration of the summer festivals of Italy that goes through Sept. 8, 2013.

Curtis Stone Up-Close & Personal Weekend is July 26-27 and fans of this Australian chef (host of “Top Chef Masters”) will have an opportunity to taste recipes from his latest cookbook at this “pop up” Curtis Stone restaurant, featuring a five-course tasting menu with wine pairing. Experience also includes a Champagne reception, photo op, and an autographed book. (6pm; $200 per person, suite package available.)
