Bellagio Fountain Club to Host Culinary Extravaganza for FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2026
LAS VEGAS — Bellagio Fountain Club is set to host a culinary extravaganza for the FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2026, with a roster of star chefs and mixologists that includes José Andrés, David Chang, and Masaharu Morimoto. The event, which runs from November 19 to 21, promises an unparalleled gastronomic experience against the backdrop of the Fountains of Bellagio.
MGM Resorts International, in collaboration with Formula 1, has assembled a lineup of renowned culinary figures for this grand occasion. Ari Kastrati, the Chief Content, Development, and Hospitality Officer at MGM Resorts International, emphasized the unique appeal of this year’s Bellagio Fountain Club experience. "There are few experiences that unite this caliber of culinary and beverage talent alongside one of the biggest sporting events in the world," Kastrati said.
Attendees can look forward to dishes crafted by celebrated chefs such as José Andrés, David Chang, Mario Carbone, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and Michael Mina. Notable newcomers include Maneet Chauhan, the two-time winner of Food Network’s "Tournament of Champions," and Rhoda Magbitang, the 2026 champion of Bravo’s "Top Chef." Chefs like Britt Rescigno, a champion of "Chopped" and "Beat Bobby Flay," and Eleazar Villanueva, the executive chef at Joël Robuchon, will also be in attendance.
The culinary lineup is complemented by a stellar selection of bars, with Shingo Gokan, a world-renowned bartender, and Schmuck, a New York City cocktail bar, among the participants. Notable dining venues like The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, ARIA’s MICHELIN Selected Gymkhana, and The Cosmopolitan’s Zuma will also be featured, along with the upcoming opening of The Corner Store.
Bellagio Fountain Club has sold out for the last three years, underscoring its popularity. The venue will offer guests a unique opportunity to enjoy dishes prepared by some of the world’s most influential chefs while watching Formula 1 race cars reach speeds of over 215 mph along the Las Vegas Strip.
Throughout the weekend, chefs will prepare and serve signature creations from dedicated culinary stations, transforming Bellagio Fountain Club into a showcase of global culinary excellence. The event is open to ticket holders, who can purchase tickets through Ticketmaster.
