FOODIE FEST
e Great American Foodie Fest (Formerly Las Vegas Foodie Fest) started in March of 2012 by Noel Casimiro, Art Casimiro, Oliver Tolentino, Marc Tolentino and Ranier Galgana.
e idea stemmed out of watching all the amazing foods that have been featured on the Food Network, Cooking Channel and the Travel Channel.
Watching all of the amazing food trucks, restaurants and street food vendors from across the nation gave us the idea of bringing all of the nation’s best foods all to one local destination in Las Vegas, Nevada.
