Bellagio to host exclusive culinary residency by world-renowned restaurant Alinea from April 16 to May 31

Renowned for its unparalleled culinary prowess, Alinea, an iconic Chicago restaurant under the skilled leadership of award-winning Chef Grant Achatz, is marking its 20th anniversary with a momentous collaboration at Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from April 16 to May 31. During this exclusive residency, Chef Achatz and his team will be stationed at Michael Mina’s restaurant, crafting a unique dining experience that encapsulates exceptional gastronomy harmonized with the unparalleled hospitality synonymous with the Bellagio.

Alinea’s presence at Bellagio exemplifies Chef Achatz’s perception of a restaurant’s significance in shaping cultural narratives. His culinary creations consistently transcend mere sustenance, aiming to evoke emotions, shatter preconceptions, and linger in the minds of diners long after the meal concludes. In Bellagio, a haven of innovation and opulence, deeply rooted in culinary heritage pivotal in shaping contemporary American fine dining, Alinea has found an ideal setting to showcase its culinary artistry.

Speaking about the collaboration, Chef Achatz stated, “Las Vegas has always been willing to think big and take risks. There is a real history here of chefs, operators, and teams pushing hospitality forward, not just in scale but in creativity and craft. Bellagio understands how to create experiences that feel both bold and thoughtful, and that makes the resort a meaningful place for us to share what Alinea has been building for the past twenty years.”

The ongoing Alinea 20th-anniversary tour allows guests to experience Alinea’s culinary excellence in diverse locations, each highlighting the local ingredients and culinary heritage. At Bellagio, Chef Achatz and his team will collaborate with the resort’s chefs, local culinary talents, and suppliers to curate dishes that embody Alinea’s innovative essence while honoring the flavors unique to Las Vegas. Following successful engagements in Brooklyn, Miami Beach, Beverly Hills, Tokyo, and Big Sky, Bellagio serves as the final stop on this culinary journey.

Reflecting on the tour’s significance, Chef Achatz expressed, “This tour has been a tribute to the entire restaurant and hospitality industry. We are thankful for the opportunities and relationships that have shaped us, and we have cherished the chance to reciprocate our gratitude with the wider community that continues to inspire us.”

The Alinea culinary residency at Bellagio will inhabit the famed Michael Mina dining room, located adjacent to the lush Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens. For those seeking an unforgettable gastronomic experience, reservations for this one-of-a-kind venture can be made online.
