PREVIOUS PROJECTS
SAFTA 1964 by Chef Alon Shaya, from Pomegranate Hospitality, was a limited-run celebrity-chef residency at The Wynn Las Vegas during the year 2024. This playful iteration of SAFTA celebrated Grandma’s fictional heyday, before she became a “safta.” Picture her dressed to the nines, complete with her signature red lipstick, driving her white 1964 Thunderbird convertible west, and toasting the town. She’s the magnetic life of the party, sipping martinis, and running the blackjack table.
The residency officially wrapped December 31, 2024.
