 Las Vegas Premiere Chef Event Vegas Unstripped Announces 2025 Date
Unique Event Gathers Las Vegas’ Citywide Culinary Stars at Palms Casino Resort 

LAS VEGAS, NV (February 24, 2025) – The Feast of Friends has announced the return of the Vegas Unstripped food festival this spring, planned to take place from 6-9 p.m on Sunday, April 27, 2025 once again at Palms Casino Resort. Thirty of the city’s most acclaimed and creative chefs will be brought together to present one-night-only original dishes, accompanied by cocktails from many of the city’s best bars, live local entertainers and more. Ticket price has remained at $150 plus fees, now available via vegasunstripped.com. Attendees must be 21+. 

“Since Vegas Unstripped started in 2018, we’ve seen the off-Strip dining scene in Las Vegas flourish and receive much due praise for its quality, creativity and breadth,” said VU Co-Founder Eric Gladstone. “But our mission remains to bring our strongest chefs together, along with our best bartenders, to show our neighbors and the world what Vegas can do.”

“We’re thrilled to once again host Vegas Unstripped at Palms, bringing together some of the most talented and innovative chefs in Las Vegas for an evening that celebrates culinary creativity,” said Greg Van Stone, Vice President of Food & Beverage at Palms Casino Resort. "At Palms, we are committed to supporting the local dining community and providing unforgettable experiences for our guests. Vegas Unstripped embodies that spirit, offering an exciting showcase of exceptional food, cocktails, and hospitality—all created by the people who make this city’s food scene so special. This event also supports charitable efforts, reinforcing our commitment to giving back to the community."

Participating talent and more details will be announced in coming weeks.
