Giving a nod to Las Vegas' reputation as the ultimate party town, this episode focuses on creating food for a party environment. The eight contestants get a tour of one of the largest wine cellars in the U.S. for an education on how wine can complement just about any meal. After a wine tasting, they have one hour to prepare three distinct appetizers from a kitchen stocked with raw ingredients, using only inspiration, pairing each with the appropriate wine. The resulting combinations are judged, and the creator of the least successful match is 86ed. Guest chef judge: Martin Heierling of Sensi in Las Vegas.
