This will be the last year this event will be held in Las Vegas:( I was fortunate enough to enjoy and be a food judge for all 3 years. It had moved from Ballys to Downtown Las Vegas. There was always plenty to do, see and sample. There were vendors around every turn giving out samples and swag. Demonstrations and chefs cooking could be watched through out the days.
I agree with a fellow Yelper that the Bourbon, BBQ, and Banjos event was poorly run (not suprised). Line to get in went horribly slow.They ran out of the bourbon they were giving samples of and alot of the BBQ booths ran out of ribs before the event was over. Favorites were The Shed and Lucky 13! There were no tables or chairs to eat your ribs, who was in charge of this!? On top of everything else there was 1 security guard that kept yelling at people even though they weren't doing anything wrong, preaching to them about crossing the street correctly, etc. We just wanna eat and drink! Please leave us alone!
Over all its always a good time. It will be in Florida next year:(
