A HISTORY AGED
LIKE FINE WINE

Within the halls of one of the world’s most prestigious hospitality colleges, UNLV’s most iconic food and beverage festival was born. Designed to indulge the Las Vegas community while creating new opportunities for university students, UNLVino continues to bring together the best chefs, winemakers, brew masters and distillers in the world. Inspired by university alumni in 1974, millions of dollars have been raised to fund scholarships for the UNLV William F. Harrah College of Hospitality students. The festival is organized jointly by UNLV and Southern Glazer’s Wine, Spirits & Beer of Nevada and remains the longest tradition at the University and one of the college’s largest fundraisers.

This April, the community can partake in a night of festivities, including tastings from various renowned Resorts World restaurants and premium sake suppliers, along with a live carving of a 300lb tuna. You’ll also enjoy bites from the students of UNLV’s world-class William F. Harrah College of Hospitality. Your ticket purchase will go on to support scholarships for the future leaders of the hospitality industry.
