What’s new in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is gearing up for another showstopping year in 2024 with a host of new openings and big ticket events coming to Sin City.
Building on its growing sports legacy, Vegas will host Super Bowl LVIII in February, marking a milestone for the nation’s most-watched sporting event.
Las Vegas’ culinary scene is also expanding, with new restaurants and food events taking place.
There is added inbound airlift as Virgin Atlantic expands its Las Vegas service with a new direct route from Manchester Airport in June 2024. The new service will operate three flights a week and will be the first airport in the UK outside of London to fly to America’s West coast since the pandemic.
The 2024 Super Bowl will take place on 11 February 2024 at the Allegiant Stadium with R&B star Usher set to headline the half-time show. This will be the first time ever that America’s most viewed sporting event is hosted in Las Vegas. Last year’s Super Bowl attracted a viewership of 99.18 million.
In June, Las Vegas will celebrate dining excellence, as the 2024 host city for The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards. It will take place over the course of five days at several world-class hotels including Wynn Las Vegas, Resorts World Las Vegas and The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. Key events will include #50BestTalks, a thought-leadership forum; the 50 Best Signature Sessions, a series featuring 50 Best chefs cooking alongside local talent; a Chefs’ Feast, showcasing the fine cooking and exciting entertainment of Las Vegas; and a 50 Best educational event.
Having opened its doors on 13 December 2023, the long-awaited Fontainebleau Las Vegas is the newest addition to the destination’s famous skyline. The hotel brings timeless elegance to the Strip. The unmissable blue exterior houses more than 3,600 guest rooms, a sprawling casino floor, nightlife and an exceptional restaurant collection.
Combining world-wide influences with opulent flair, there are a whole host of newly opened, lavish and elevated restaurants to try in Las Vegas this year. Having opened in summer 2023, Cathédrale, inside Aria Resort & Casino, offers extravagant dishes such as the 46 oz wagyu tomahawk steak or marine lobster rigatoni. LPM Restaurant & Bar, which opened in November inside The Cosmopolitan, transports guests to the French Riviera, and recently earned acclaim on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. Stanton Social Prime brings Chef Chris Santos’ signature shareable dishes to the Strip inside Caesars Palace.
