PALAZZO — Nearly 75 restaurants lined up around the pools at the Palazzo last Thursday night for the Epicurean Affair, a shindig put on by the Nevada Restaurant Association. Almost 1,800 guests sampled dishes from restaurants such as Aquaknox, Lagasse’s Stadium, The Capital Grille, Bouchon and STK at the sold-out event. [EaterWire]

MANDALAY BAY — Fleur has a new chef. Apparently Ryan Primo Nuqui took over the kitchen there. He most recently served as executive sous chef at Yellowtail Restaurant & Lounge at the Bellagio, and he’s worked at Shibuya at the MGM Grand, the former Fleur de Lys and Postrio at the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian. [AlMancini.net]
