Fresh off the runways of Paris Fashion Week, Kendall Jenner wasted no time keeping the party going — this time, in Sin City.
On Friday, January 31, the Kardashians icon — who is also famously also the founder of 818 Tequila — turned up the heat while celebrating the grand opening of Amaya Modern Mexican at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
While her focus was on fêting with friends — and generously pouring shots for lucky ones in attendance in an unexpected move as the bartender — the 29-year-old supermodel made sure to bring the party with couture, donning a deep purple, ’90s-inspired Dolce & Gabbana set, which she complemented with a dark bob styled in loose waves — a look reminiscent of legendary supermodel Christy Turlington.

Jenner, who was beaming in the photos taken at the event, sipped her own 818 Tequila creations while chowing down some of Amaya’s Mexican fan-favorites, like guacamole and chips.
“You can tell that she is in a really good place in life. She didn’t stop smiling and laughing with everyone around her,” an onlooker revealed of Jenner’s sunny disposition at the event. “She just seems so grounded and authentic. She didn’t mind at all that she was recognized and asked for pics and she seems to really take care of her friends.”

In a surprise moment to all, Jenner turned heads as she got behind the bar and served shots to patrons while shaking up specialty cocktails crafted with her 818 Tequila.
If the vibrant atmosphere — and celebratory photos — are any indication, it looks like the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum had the time of her life at the event.
