After months of speculation, weeks of chef spottings, one dinner with Toby Young and even a night on the set, Bravo has finally confirmed that Season 6 of Top Chef will take place in Las Vegas.

Duh.

A Bravo spokesperson confirmed today what many already had assumed for weeks. Officials said the show has wrapped up taping after more than a month of shooting. Bravo would not release further details on cast, locations and guest judges.

Here's what else we know: The judges and contestants celebrated the end of filming with a party at Blush on Saturday night, May 30. Along with Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi and judges Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons, culinary elite like Thomas Keller, Timothy Hollingsworth, Daniel Boulud, Paul Bartolotta and Alex Stratta joined the party, where they dined on classic beef sliders and cheesecake pops. Upcoming Top Chef: Masters contestant Rick Moonen also joined the crowd at Blush.

Top Chef: Masters will premiere June 10 at 10 p.m. Top Chef: Las Vegas is set to air this fall.
