Fresh off four shows in just 48 hours, including Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Miami, and back to Vegas, Steve Aoki arrived at the high-energy culinary destination inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. True to his Guinness World Record title as the world’s most traveled DJ, Aoki brought his signature adrenaline to the evening.

Guests were welcomed with signature cocktails, including the smoky-sweet ‘Fuego y Hielo’ with Flecha Azul Añejo, blood orange, and fire bitters, and the tropical ‘Amaya Paloma’ infused with banana liqueur and tamarind. Wines from Frank Family and DAOU flowed throughout the night.

Dinner was served family-style and included house-made guacamole, chicken empanadas, charred octopus, prime carne asada, whole grilled “angry fish,” Mexican street corn, and roasted cabbage with tamarind glaze. For dessert, “The Frozen Pineapple” featuring a whipped sorbet with mango, passionfruit, and caramel stole the show.
