Culinary sporting fans are invited to cheer on competitive eaters from across the region at New York-New York Hotel & Casino’s 18th annual qualifying event for the 100th Annual Nathan’s Famous Four of July Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, NY.
During the main event Saturday, April 25 at 2 p.m., trained male and female competitors from across the region will gather at the Brooklyn Bridge at New York-New York to compete for the “Nevada Hot Dog Eating Champions” title. Winners of this culinary honor will represent Las Vegas in the July 4 finals.
A special employee contest will begin at noon followed by a “Heroes” competition for charity at 1:30 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.
The Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest has occurred every July 4 in Coney Island since 1916, the year Nathan Handwerker opened the legendary restaurant. Major League Eating, the governing body of all stomach-centric sports, sanctions the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Circuit, ensuring the contests are judged professionally and that safety standards are in place at each event.
