Project Dinner Table is the popular local dining phenomenon blending a philanthropic approach and appreciation for the farm to table movement, while focusing on what we love: food, community and purpose. A series of once-in-a-lifetime, dinners served around one long, white-linen-draped table set in unique and adventurous settings, Project Dinner Table celebrates phenomenal chefs, local growers and sustainable sources. Furthermore, each gathering brings diverse individuals together to share a meal served family-style, all while rediscovering the lost art of conversation. Guests at every event may expect to find themselves breaking bread with community leaders, local growers, food artisans, restaurateurs and other spirited guests. Project Dinner Table has partnered with United Way of Southern Nevada, ultimately leaving a legacy for the community, powered by community.

DT3 is located on 3rd Street, between Stewart Avenue and Ogden Road. With the excitement and energy of the Fremont Street Experience just steps away, Project Dinner Table will enable guests to truly experience all that Downtown Las Vegas has to offer by experiencing its unique blend of community in one night. The signature dinner table seating 175 will run along one block of 3rd Street.

Leading the culinary experience will be Executive Chef Charles Wilson of Downtown Grand. Chef Wilson has nearly 20 years of experience leading teams around the country and the world. He studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, Texas. From there, his career began as a sous chef at the Four Seasons Chicago and then Four Seasons Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu. He would spend the next few years working his way to becoming an executive chef at Pacific Islands Resort LTD Japan. Chef Wilson arrived in Las Vegas in 2004, landing a position as an executive chef for banquets at MGM Grand. By 2007, he joined Caesars Palace where he consistently earned high praise from his teams for his excellent leadership both in front and back of the house. During his years at that property, Caesars Palace would go on to winning the AAA Four Diamond Award and having numerous restaurants win the world’s most prestigious accolades ranging from Bradley Ogden and Restaurant Guy Savoy also winning AAA Four Diamond Award to restaurants and dining experiences being named “Most Popular Restaurants” by Zagat.

Working side by side with Chef Wilson will be Assistant Executive Chef Todd Harrington. His eagerness to learn, proven prowess at team leadership and dynamic flair for contemporary, palate-pleasing fare are what led him to the property, where he currently created menus for all dining experiences inside the hotel. Chef Harrington studied at the Reading Area Community College Culinary Arts program in Reading, Pa. Then, he attended the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute in Pittsburgh while working as an assistant chef at Chef Alan’s American Bistro. Drawn by Las Vegas’ exciting and expanding restaurant scene, Harrington relocated to the Entertainment Capital of the World in 2005. He has worked in some of Las Vegas’ finest kitchens including Central Michel Richard at Caesars Palace, which he opened and served as executive chef for two years.

Super Star DJ Afrojack Spun Super Set At Hakkasan Las Vegas

Friday, Mar. 21, GRAMMY Award-winning artist Afrojack took to the DJ booth at Hakkasan Las Vegas Nightclub at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino for the first time and put on a set guests would never forget.

Arriving around 12:30 a.m., Afrojack was escorted to the main stage, where the packed nightclub eagerly awaited his debut. About an hour later, the cheering died down as fans hushed to hear the first moments of the Dutch sensation's set. The global icon kept the crowd mesmerized not only with his beats, but with his special surprises--including the appearance of two male contortionists who wowed the crowd with their jaw-dropping moves, a first for Hakkasan Nightclub.

With the energy in the room high and fans on their feet dancing and singing throughout the night, the turntable superstar's kick off was surely celebrated. As his set was in full party mode, a dozen Hakkasan Nightclub's stunning model cocktail waitresses joined him in the DJ booth and presented him with a large bottle of champagne. Eager  to share this moment with his fans, Afrojack jumped atop the DJ booth, uncorked the bottle and showered the crowd.

Adding to the first-of-its kind experience, Hakkasan Nightclub unveiled two new LED screens on the suspended performance stage, displaying intricate graphics and some of the artist's lyrics, further mesmerizing the crowd.

Earlier in the evening, Hakkasan Las Vegas Restaurant was also buzzing, as pop singer, songwriter and new uncle to brother Kevin’s baby girl, Nick Jonas was spotted dining with a few friends. Dressed casual wearing a striped Polo shirt and fitted dark jeans, the 21-year-old performer and his companions entered the modern Cantonese culinary mecca just before 9 p.m. where they were seen enjoying some of Hakkasan’s most favored vegetarian selections such as the Vegetarian steamed dim sum platter. Jonas was seen sipping on signature cocktails and socializing with his group throughout the night before exiting the venue just after 11 p.m.

Jimmy Kimmel Will Host 3rd Annual "An Evening With Dave Rice" On May 17th

Acclaimed television personality and Las Vegas native, Jimmy Kimmel, will host the third annual ‘An Evening with Dave Rice’ fundraiser to benefit the Dave Rice Foundation beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, inside the MGM Grand.

“We’re beyond excited to have Jimmy Kimmel as the host of this year’s event, and we expect it to be the biggest and best yet,” said Dave Rice, head coach for the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels basketball team. “This is a cause near and dear to both of our hearts.”

The Dave Rice Foundation was founded by Coach Rice and his wife, Mindy, in an effort to raise support and awareness for several Autism-related organizations throughout Southern Nevada. Kimmel, the host and executive producer of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” is a lifelong UNLV hoops fan and serves on the board of directors for the Foundation.

“What the Dave Rice Foundation is doing for families affected by Autism is immeasurable,” said Kimmel. “As a Las Vegas native, I am proud to assist Coach Rice in these meaningful efforts.”

‘An Evening with Dave Rice, Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel’ will begin with a VIP cocktail reception and silent auction followed by a gourmet sit-down dinner with a live auction and entertainment. Coach Rice will also present the Kenny Guinn Award for Commitment to Community to the 2014 recipient, which will be announced prior to May 17.

Auction items will include autographed memorabilia from celebrities including Kimmel, Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali and others, as well as show tickets, dinners at some of Las Vegas’ top restaurants and more. Last year’s event helped the Dave Rice Foundation award more than $250,000 in grants to local organizations including: The UNLV Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Torino Foundation, Grant A Gift Autism Foundation, Touro University Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities, Families for Effective Autism Treatment (FEAT) of Southern Nevada, Nevada Partnership for Inclusive Education and Peoples Autism Foundation.
