What
sort of birthday gift do you get a buffet that already has everything including
25,000 square feet, dining spaces for 600 guests, over one million visitors in
less than a year, accolades such as being voted the #1 Buffet by USA Today and
serves more than 500 dishes daily? A big dance number of course. And, that’s just what happened at the
Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace when Emmy-nominated dancer/choreographer
Travis Wall of Fox’s hit show So You Think You Can Dance and co-founder of
Shaping Sound, along with eight of his talented friends took over the expansive
buffet and created a one-of-a-kind epic dance sequence celebrating the
ground-breaking culinary paradise.

In
honor of the $17 million Bacchanal Buffet’s first birthday, Wall joined forces
with Caesars Palace in creating the lavish dance number and video that
showcases the talent, athleticism and expertise of the dancers while
highlighting the fantastic array of culinary offerings and the sleek design of
the space. From flipping off of the furniture to breathtaking pirouettes,
dancing on the tables to synchronized plate manipulation, Wall expertly
utilizes all of the artistic tools at his disposal to create a mesmerizing dance
performance.
“With
Bacchanal we took a big risk and thankfully, it turned out to be a game
changer,” explains Gary Selesner, Caesars Entertainment regional president. “We
broke all the rules when we launched one year ago and the reception has exceeded
all of our expectations. We have people
lining up not only to eat the amazing food which is prepared in nine live
kitchens, but also to be part of a new dining social experience. We are proud
to have transformed the perception of what a Las Vegas buffet is and can be.”
Choreographed
by Wall, who in a recent episode of SYTYCD was lauded by the judges for his
creative genius, several SYTYCD alum joined forces for this special project
including: season one winner and co-founder of Shaping Sound Nick Lazzarini;
top-four-SYTYCD-finisher Kayla Radomski; performer Albert Blaise Cattafi;
SYTYCD All-Star, Shaping Sound member and star of “All The Right Moves” Jaime
Goodwin; Shaping Sound members and SYTYCD alum Kayla Kalbfleisch and Channing
Cooke; Dancer Adrian Lee, who appeared with Wall on his reality-based Oxygen
channel show “All The Right Moves”, and world Champion gymnast Dom Palange,
rounding out the skillful ensemble.
Wall’s
background in dance and choreography is extraordinary. Residing in both New
York and Los Angeles, he is a resident choreographer and guest judge on So You
Think You Can Dance. After a recent performance, guest judge and actress Jenna
Elfman told Travis Wall, “Your choreography is perfection so full of artistry.”
Executive Producer and Judge Nigel Lythgoe commented, “You’re a genius.”
Since
opening in September 2012, Bacchanal Buffet has set a new standard for Las
Vegas buffets and continues to redefine the buffet experience by offering more
