In an
earlier era, Bacchanal at Caesars Palace represented the decadence of a Roman
feast set within a fine dining atmosphere; before closing in 2000, the
restaurant became famous for bringing Caesars Palace-style entertainment to the
gourmet experience. Next month, Bacchanal will make its return to Caesars
Palace as the new $17 million Bacchanal Buffet: a 21st century adaptation which
will serve up an over-the-top feast created by a team of master chefs, offering
the most variety on the Las Vegas Strip. Bacchanal Buffet will feature more
than 500 items from classic favorites such as made-to-order omelets, the
freshest seafood and roasted meats like prime rib to cutting edge, regional
comfort food like breakfast pizzas, red velvet pancakes, wood fired Neapolitan
pizzas and Chinese dim sum, even roasted South Carolina shrimp and grits.
Known
as a culinary capital and home to many top chefs from around the world,
visitors look to Las Vegas to set the new trends in dining, and Bacchanal
Buffet at Caesars Palace will usher in a new era for the modern buffet. “The
Bacchanal Buffet design will set this restaurant apart from all other buffets
in Las Vegas,” said Gary Selesner, regional president of Caesars Palace, the
Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and Caesars Entertainment’s Las Vegas
Operations. “The extraordinary modern and international design by world famous
restaurant designer Super Potato will offer guests an eye-catching, fun and
entertaining, contemporary dining experience with an incredible variety of
quality selections cooked by talented chefs before the guests’ eyes at nine
show kitchens.”
The
25,000 square-foot homage to eating will feature seating for 600 guests in a
unique design canvas of glass, wood and steel, incorporating a modern aesthetic
of clean lines, natural recycled and reclaimed materials, and a priceless view
of the property’s world famous Garden of the Gods pool complex.
Bacchanal
Buffet will showcase a team of master chefs led by executive chef Scott Green,
including an award winning pastry chef, and progressive presentations featuring
individually-plated items, small plates, numerous cooking stations, and a
staggering dessert display. With chefs front-and-center at Bacchanal Buffet,
visitors will be awed by not only the vast choices, but the freshness of the
food, and overall innovative design of the space.
The
Bacchanal Buffet will be additive to the culinary tradition of Caesars Palace
that began with Spago and Mesa Grill, and continued with favorites such as
Payard Pâtisserie & Bistro, Rao’s and Restaurant Guy Savoy along with the
recent additions of Central Michel Richard and Old Homestead and in late 2012
the highly-anticipated arrivals of Nobu Restaurant and Gordon Ramsay Pub &
Grill.
