On the Las Vegas food scene: "I love that there are still things pushing the envelope,” Blau says. “I love what [Cosmopolitan President and CEO] Bill McBeath and [A Perfect Bite founder and consultant] Oliver Wharton did with the Block 16 Urban Food Hall. Food halls were happening around the country, but reinventing it that way—being able to curate all these great brands and having Cosmo operating them but still keeping true to their concepts—is so great. And what’s been done at Resorts World with [Famous Food Street Eats] is like that on steroids, to be able to bring that extra level of authenticity."
