VIDEOS: https://linktr.ee/VegasFoodieTours https://www.lipsmackingfoodietours.com/news/blog/corporate-event-planning-how-to-host-the-ultimate-event-with-lip-smacking-foodie-tours Lip Smacking Foodie Tours are both an entertaining activity and unique dining experience melded into one, that are sure to add new vitality to meeting events, from conferences to team building.   All-Inclusive Group Dining When meeting planners book a corporate group event through Lip Smacking Foodie Tours, the entire group is assured a top-notch dining experience with three to four signature dishes at each restaurant. Our affordable tours are priced per person with tax and gratuities included. The only thing not included are drinks. However, a beverage package upgrade is available, which provides guests a signature cocktail at various stops.   Build Your Network Our exclusive experiences provide the ultimate networking opportunities. At a typical sit-down dinner, you’re lucky to engage the person to the left and right of you. Because our tours take place at multiple restaurants, with walking in between, there are countless opportunities to interact with different people when you sit down at each venue and as you traverse along the way. Our experiences not only provide more ways to network, but a more convivial way to do so.   Large Groups Welcome Lip Smacking Foodie Tours is ideal for groups, small or large. Our experiences can accommodate groups from as few as 1 to as many as 500 guests, making us an ideal choice for any corporate group event.   Stress-Free Booking Process Booking a tour is stress-free and allows you to enjoy the company of your guests more easily. You’ll take comfort knowing that everything is taken care of from the moment the tour is booked to the minute it concludes. Since the menu is already set, you have nothing to worry about. Just remember to submit ahead of the tour date any dietary restrictions and food allergies for anyone in your group.   Feel Like a VIP at Each Stop With Lip Smacking Foodie Tours, you and your group members never have to worry about waiting in line to get into a top restaurant or being shown to a less than desirable table. On our tours, everyone is treated like a VIP with immediate seating upon arrival. What’s more, your group may receive a special warm welcome personally from the restaurant chef. Menus can be printed featuring your logo, too, which can be an added bonus for all those Instagram moments you share. For added ease, we can even arrange transportation pick-up and drop-off, as well as an event photographer. And for groups that desire an extra luxe experience, we can also arrange for an evening helicopter ride over the glittering lights of The Strip.   A Memorable Experience for All Lip Smacking Foodie Tours offers a way to gather and dine that few have experienced, and all are sure to remember. Our one-of-a-kind tours are special, from the first stop to the last. It’s an experience that attendees will reminisce about long after they leave.   Location, Location, Location One of the best reasons to book is the convenient and efficient way the experience is designed. All restaurants are within an easy walking distance of each other. The short stroll allows your group members a chance to engage in prime networking opportunities before heading to the next place on your tour itinerary.   You Get a Dinner and a Show Our tours offer an exquisite feast plus entertainment. All tours include a knowledgeable, professional guide who leads the group on a walking tour, offering engaging tidbits and fascinating stories. Several other interactive experiences are included along the way exclusively to our tours, ensuring there is never a dull moment.   Different Types of Cuisine Our experiences offer the ability to enjoy several renowned restaurants in one convenient outing, including ones you and your guests might not have discovered otherwise on your own or at a typical corporate dinner. We offer a way to try some of the finest spots in the city and dive into various cuisines and dishes. All the pre-selected dishes are curated to our high standards to ensure they will delight any palate.   Tours Available from Day to Night With any corporate group experience, booking flexibility is key. Whether you desire a tour during business hours or early evening right after work, we can coordinate with you to provide options that fit your needs.   Go for as Long or as Short as You Like Along with flexible scheduling, Lip Smacking Foodie Tours also provides a range of tour durations. Our shortest tour is about 2.5 hours; our longest is about 5 hours, with optional add-ons and incentives. We can host a Lip Smacking Foodie Tour in Chicago: Video 1: https://youtube.com/shorts/wvDQm-sPdX8 Video 2: https://youtu.be/odOEFAvVOR0 When planning a corporate event that knocks it out of the park for important clients or prospective ones, there’s only one clear choice for delivering guaranteed success – award-winning Lip Smacking Foodie Tours. The originator of the high-end, high-touch, custom dining experience, it has grown into the go-to for discriminating business groups that want to provide clients with a polished and unforgettable epicurean experience with complete VIP service at the most distinguished restaurants. Since its founding a decade ago in Las Vegas, it has expanded its reach far and wide beyond the Entertainment Capital of The World to provide unique tours in a myriad of cities, including Seattle, Denver, Chicago, San Jose, Scottsdale, and Vancouver, BC. In fact, its seasoned hospitality professionals can design a tour tailored to any needs in any city. Lip Smacking Foodie Tours does all the work to set up everything in advance, so that you and your clients are not inconvenienced in any way, shape or form. We can secure the best tables in the house at even the most in-demand restaurants that turn most others away. You don't even have to worry about transportation. We take care of it all with full transparency, as the price you see is all-inclusive with gratuities. There’s a reason why we’ve grown into the brand trusted by corporate groups, and why our tours have been highlighted in the Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Forbes, and New York Times. It’s because we don’t just meet expectations; we exceed them time and time again. We understand that your clients’ time is precious, that every moment counts and must be meaningful. We take your clients to not one, not two, but three renowned restaurants in one experience that flows effortlessly from one to the next. It’s a rare chance for them to get out of their hotels during their jam-packed schedule, to explore a vibrant part of the city they’re visiting, and to enjoy a dining experience bar none at the most in-demand restaurants. That's why our events always garner the highest attendance RSVPs. At each restaurant, they’ll be escorted immediately to the best tables in the house, where they will be served a wide array of curated signature dishes, including decadent desserts at the last venue. It’s a true abundant feast in every sense of the word, with clients assured to leave happy and full, and with the lasting memory of this fun and unique time. An optional beverage package also can be arranged so that clients are served a craft cocktail or premium wine at each stop with no wait. Any dietary allergies or restrictions can easily be accommodated, too. There are no interruptions by servers wanting to take your order, as the menu has already been curated to feature each restaurant’s most special dishes. Indeed, while most sit-down affairs are hampered by the fact that clients can converse only with those seated on either side of them, our experiences allow them greater flexibility to sit next to different people at each restaurant. It provides a more natural, free-flowing exchange between more people when they’re most at ease over fabulous food and drink. Clients can even strike up conversations naturally with one another as they stroll from one venue to the next. Consider it the ultimate organic networking experience. This is an elevated, white-glove experience like no other by a company that is the recognized leading specialist in providing distinctive culinary tours for groups of 10 to 250. While the experiences typically last from 2 ½ to 3 hours, their duration, as well as their start times, whether daytime or prime-time evening, can be tailored to your exact needs. Getting a group from one point to another can be a job in itself. That’s why we provide deluxe shuttle transportation to pick up your group to take them comfortably to the restaurants, and back. There are numerous opportunities for company or sponsorship branding. Moreover, our experiences are led by professional guides with a keen eye for detail who are accustomed to working with C-suite executives in all industries.
