On Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 5:00 PM, guests will gather at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa for an evening unlike any other. Step into an atmosphere of haunting beauty, where ghostly performers drift through the room, classical melodies fill the air, and an otherworldly waltz unfolds beneath shimmering chandeliers.
Attendees are invited to embrace the theme with formal black attire or elegant costumes touched with gothic mystique - think intricate masquerade masks, Victorian inspired gowns, or sophisticated dark ensembles that elevate the night's ethereal ambience.
Throughout the evening, guests will indulge in themed culinary creations and decadent desserts, all while supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's vital mission. Participation through ticket purchases, sponsorships, and exclusive auction opportunities directly fuels the Foundation's efforts to advance groundbreaking research and care.
Pat Ellis, Chairperson and committee leading this event will be Celebrating Community Leadership: The 2026 Vegas Visionary Award.
A signature moment of the CF BITES event will be the presentation of the 2026 Vegas Visionary Award to Ricci Lopez, Vice President Retail/Partner of MACEOO and a devoted champion of the Las Vegas community. His leadership, innovative spirit, and unwavering commitment to service exemplify the values at the heart of this distinguished honor. Ricci's impact extends far beyond his professional achievements, reflecting a deep dedication to elevating and empowering the community he proudly serves.
