Is This The Most Expensive Food Experience This Fall?

The Venetian brings Ultimo with Daniel Boulud, Emeril Lagasse and Buddy Valastro. And it's pricey.

Have $1,604.50 to spend per night on a dining extravaganza? The Venetian compacts its fall festival of food into Ultimo — A Weekend of Excellence with three days culinary events featuring Daniel Boulud, Emeril Lagasse and Buddy the Cake Boss Valastro Dec. 5-7.

That’s $3,209 per night if you want to go with a spouse/date/friend. Or, if you stay two nights, $6,418 for two people. Luxury indeed.

Let’s say you go all in and decide to shell out that kind of cash. The Venetian will pick you up from McCarran International Airport (or as noted in a press release, "any of the private options in Las Vegas") in a Bentley or Rolls-Royce. Don’t skimp on the third option, "one of the resort’s limousines."

Guests do get "a choice of premium suites that are normally reserved for ‘high-roller’ casino guests.

A welcome reception kicks off the event at the jewelry and watch boutique Bellusso along with caviar, champagne and timepieces.

After that, it’s the Grand Banquet set in the Grand Colonnade at a single table with room for 200 people. Boulud, Lagasse and Valastro provide the food, with each course paired with wine, "including some new releases saved for this very night."

Saturday starts with a French brunch with Boulud at DB Brasserie restaurant. After that, one of four luxury experiences: an afternoon at Canyon Ranch SpaClub, an unnamed fashion experience, a fast ride with Exotics Racing, or baking with Valastro.

That evening, guests head to the Palazzo Waterfall Atrium & Gardens for a dine-around with dishes from Carnevino, Buddy V’s Ristorante, CUT Steakhouse, Bouchon, Delmonico Steakhouse and DB Brasserie. Afterward, a private party in a Richard Hennessey Lounge inside the Paiza Club with desserts by Valastro, liquors, and cigars.

Sunday brings a "Truffle Farewell Brunch" with Lagasse at Delmonico Steakhouse.

Now, guests don’t have to go all in with the Ultimo Suite Package and its pricey fee. Head here to see other packages available that just cover culinary events or one night of experience.
