For the first time in HELL’S KITCHEN history, the latest batch of 20 aspiring restaurateurs head to Las Vegas to present their signature dishes before Chef Ramsey and a live audience. The contestants will split into two teams – the red team and the blue team – to prove they have what it takes to win a life-changing grand prize as Head Chef at Gordon Ramsay Pub and Grill at Caesars Palace. The winning team with the most impressive dishes will earn a VIP night on the town and attend a special concert, while the losing team will make the long journey back to Los Angeles on a school bus.

Chef Ramsay teaches the chefs a lesson in teamwork when he puts them through a physical challenge involving lobsters, but claws come out when the real team challenge continues in the kitchen. The winning team earns a luxurious day on a yacht while the losing team is tasked with cleaning hundreds of pounds of fish. Later, a disorganized dinner service disappoints Chef Ramsay, so two contestants from each team are sent into the elimination round.

In the continuation of a heated elimination, Chef Ramsay makes an unexpected decision that changes the competition for good. Later, Hell's Kitchen’s maître d begs Chef Ramsay for extra help in the dining room, so he sends one chef from each team to assist the wait staff during dinner service. But when the chefs-turned-servers send illegible tickets to the kitchen, dinner service is at a virtual standstill. After one of the most infuriating dinner services yet, Chef Ramsay asks each team to nominate two contestants to be put up for elimination. Find out whose dreams of winning Hell's Kitchen might go up in flames.

In the farm fresh challenge, each member from the Red and Blue teams must enter an animal pen to determine which type of protein they will cook in the team challenge. Chef Jon Shook (Animal, Son of a Gun) will judge alongside Chef Ramsay to determine which team will go on a VIP trip to an aquarium and which team will stay behind to clean and feed animals for HELL’S KITCHEN’s petting zoo. Pressure mounts during Family Night dinner service as the contestants must not only impress the regulars, but Chef Ramsay’s family, as well. In a lopsided dinner service, one team soars while the other wallows, forcing the losing team to put two of their own team members up for elimination. Find out which contestant will be sent home for good.
