Women have played, and continue to play, a major role in shaping Las Vegas into the vibrant, diverse, and dynamic place that it is today. They are an integral part of our community, and we invite you to celebrate by supporting these extraordinary female-owned businesses or female performers during your stay.
Restaurants
Las Vegas is the destination for world-renowned restaurants and kitchens run by women. The dining experiences they’ve created are rooted in their passions – for authenticity, for an escape from the mundane, for sharing the joy of experiencing other cultures and places.
One such eatery is Velveteen Rabbit, located in Downtown Las Vegas and owned by sisters Pamela and Christina Dylag. Artists Heather Hermann, Nancy Foster, and Siobhan crafted the dreamy atmosphere, and it features a music-themed cocktail menu.
International Smoke, located inside MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, is owned and operated by Chefs Ayesha Curry and Michael Mina. They have a distinctive interpretation of grilled and smoked meats, which they infuse with bold flavors and exotic spices, and complement with seasonal produce from around the world.
