LAS VEGAS, Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Dominique Ansel will debut Dominique Ansel Las Vegas inside Caesars Palace on Friday, Oct. 21. Chef Dominique will bring his signature creations to The Strip, including his iconic Cronut® pastry, the best-selling DKA (Dominique's Kouign Amann), freshly baked French viennoiserie and the new "Lucky 7" collection – a set of pastries as unique as Las Vegas. As a "thank you" to those looking to take the first bites of Chef Dominique's masterpieces, the first 100 guests will receive a commemorative gift in celebration of the opening.
"We are honored to have Chef Dominique join our culinary empire with the upcoming opening of Dominique Ansel Las Vegas," said Caesars Entertainment Regional President Sean McBurney. "In the same way Caesars Palace continues to set the standard on The Strip, Chef Dominique Ansel delivers innovative creations with his unparalleled talents. We are excited to offer the opportunity for guests to enjoy his signature pastries here in Las Vegas."
Symbolizing good fortune and created exclusively for Caesars Palace, the new "Lucky 7" collection includes:
"We're thrilled to open our newest shop at Caesars Palace and be back out West," said Chef Dominique Ansel. "In addition to bringing some of our signatures from New York, I'm most excited to launch our newest creations for everyone. Like each of our shops around the world, we've developed a collection of pastries that will be exclusive to Las Vegas, and I can't wait to meet everyone and share what we've created with you all."
Known as an innovator in the pastry industry, Chef Dominique has created some of the most famous pastries in the world, including the Cronut®, which was named one of TIME magazine's "25 Best inventions of 2013." The Cronut® will make its debut on The Strip at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas, and each month, the shop will offer a new Cronut® flavor available only at Caesars Palace.
The Las Vegas location will also offer several of Chef Dominique's signature creations, including:
In addition, classic French viennoiserie – a staple of Chef Dominique's shops worldwide – will be baked fresh on-site every morning. Showcasing the artisanal craftsmanship of traditional viennoiserie, from flaky croissants to pain au chocolat, almond croissants, and more, they are expertly made with Isigny St. Mère butter and Les Grands Moulins de Paris flour from France, and a levain (the dough starter) that was first started by Chef Dominique himself at his New York bakery nearly 11 years ago.
Spanning more than 1,100 square feet, Dominique Ansel Las Vegas will offer a retail area and café-style seating for 20. The warm, inviting space will feature whimsical globe light fixtures hanging from the ceiling and décor elements in the brand's signature orange color. Guests will smell the intoxicating aroma of Dominique Ansel Las Vegas throughout Caesars Palace, with items baked fresh daily in the new state-of-the-art kitchen.
Adjacent to Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Palace, Dominique Ansel Las Vegas will be open 7 a.m. – 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday. For more information, visit caesars.com/caesars-palace/restaurants/dominique-ansel.
