The Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino Pioneers a New Approach in Celebrity Chef Collaboration

When it comes to the culinary world, today's consumers are more knowledgeable than ever. From all natural American Kobe burgers to sashimi-quality Big Eye Tuna, foodies everywhere have their finger on the pulse of new and exciting ingredients. Five-star hotels have answered these epicures' demands for cutting-edge cuisine by partnering with high-profile chefs for destination restaurants. But when you're developing Las Vegas' newest hotspot, the recipe for success is about breaking the mold.

The Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino announced today a groundbreaking partnership with uber-celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck. The $3 Billion Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino, slated to be the city's premier attraction, will use Wolfgang Puck Catering as its exclusive hotel caterer. The innovative deal marks the first time there will be full integration of a celebrity chef within a Las Vegas hotel and casino, from banquets and catering to room service, to hotel room mini bars, and even the employee dining room!

"I've been a part of some amazing, cutting-edge endeavors," said Wolfgang Puck, chef/owner of Wolfgang Puck Catering. "But this creative partnership with The Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino has me especially excited. We share a common desire to achieve a high standard for fine dining, and this allows us to share our passion outside of a restaurant setting."

Set to debut in 2009 on the famed Las Vegas Strip, The Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino will feature Wolfgang Puck Catering in an integral role. Clearly an evolution in how Vegas will eat, The Cosmopolitan/Wolfgang Puck alliance will deliver an unparalleled level of dining services to all aspects of the property.

"Wolfgang Puck exemplifies the ultimate in culinary arts and restaurant hospitality," said Audrey Oswell, chief operating officer of The Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino. "This collaboration will merge gourmet dining with other non-traditional facets of our hotel and resort, allowing us to immerse Vegas visitors and residents in an unprecedented style of sophistication."

"This venture represents an incredible opportunity for us to showcase our expertise in a new and exciting way," said Carl Schuster, chief executive officer and president of Wolfgang Puck Catering. "We are looking forward to an illustrious, long-lasting relationship with The Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino."

Together, The Cosmopolitan and Wolfgang Puck Catering are undeniably revolutionizing the Las Vegas culinary scene. Every meal promises to be an unforgettable experience for guests, condo owners and visitors. It's a blueprint for success with potentially far-reaching effects -- an ambitious goal fitting for a project on the grand scale of The Cosmopolitan.
