9. Fresco Italiano

Casual Italian restaurant Fresco Italiano opened at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino in November. Inspired by Tuscan villas, the interior space is designed to mimic a train trip with faux windows that feature a sliding video wall of Italian landmarks. The menu offers make-your-own pasta dishes, hot and cold antipasto served table-side on rolling carts, and entrées including bone-in veal chop parmigianino on burrata. The 3,432-square-foot space seats 228 and is available for private events.

Steelcase

Steelcase, a TED partner for more than 20 years, provided a variety of seating options throughout the convention center. The company’s personal cubicles provided a semiprivate area where attendees could watch the simulcast and do work.
