The air still hummed with the scent of burning rubber from the exhilarating 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, but the real excitement was just beginning. Delilah Las Vegas, a supper club renowned for its decadence and discretion, made a rare exception to its strict no-photo policy, exclusively for Vogue, granting us an inside look at the unforgettable “The After by Wynn” party.
The scene was electric. A constellation of A-list celebrities gathered, drawn to the allure of a night promising glamour and high-octane fun. Damson Idris, radiating Hollywood charm, shared laughter with friends nestled into plush banquettes. Behind the DJ booth, the legendary Mark Ronson weaved a musical tapestry, seamlessly blending classics from Boyz II Men with the contemporary sounds of Billie Eilish. The energy was infectious, inspiring Russell Westbrook to hit the dance floor, his moves as dynamic as his game.
Spotted amongst the glittering crowd: Winnie Harlow, effortlessly cool in a head-to-toe Louis Vuitton denim ensemble; Frances Tiafoe navigating the throng alongside Ayan Bloomfield; Alton Mason, passionately singing along to every word of “Throw Sum Mo”; and Olympic champion Suni Lee, a vision in black leather. The atmosphere was palpable, a thrilling blend of elegance and uninhibited joy.
But the true surprise of the night was CeeLo Green’s electrifying performance. He delivered a captivating medley of 80s classics, including “Take On Me,” “Whip It,” and “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” instantly transporting the crowd back to a bygone era. Of course, the set wouldn’t be complete without his own chart-topping hits like “Fuck You” and the Gnarles Barkley anthem “Crazy.” The crowd went wild, proving the enduring power of these iconic songs.
The culinary experience was equally impressive. Delilah, true to its reputation, served a lavish array of passed hors d’oeuvres that would rival any Michelin-starred restaurant. Guests indulged in truffle grilled cheese, Wagyu pigs in a blanket, chicken tenders, sushi, and surprisingly satisfying sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich sliders – a delectable mix of sophisticated and comfort food. The menu was a reflection of the event’s eclectic energy.
This exclusive collaboration, conceived by Wynn Resorts CEO Craig Billings, h.wood Group co-founders John Terzian and Brian Toll, and Scott Sartiano and Will Makris of Bond Hospitality, proved to be a resounding success. The guest list was a who’s who of entertainment, including Diplo, Nina Dobrev, Flavor Flav, Keegan-Michael Key, and Axl Rose, cementing the event’s status as the ultimate post-Grand Prix celebration.
The memories made at “The After by Wynn” were as exhilarating as the race itself. Thanks to photographer Tyler Joe, Vogue was able to capture these incredible moments, giving us a rare and intimate peek into the heart of Las Vegas’ most exclusive party. The images serve as a timeless keepsake of a truly unforgettable night.
