Caesars Going All Out with New Casino in Virginia - Starting with Its Very Own Ramsay's Kitchen
The all-new Caesars in Virginia is slated to open near the end of the year with 1,500 slot machines, a full-service spa and hotel, and many more. But in addition, it has just announced that it will have its very first restaurant: none other than Ramsay's Kitchen, another venture using famous chef Gordon Ramsay's name and image. The menu boasts all the familiar, well-loved dishes, such as Beef Wellington, fish and chips, and crispy skin salmon.
As many Virginians await the opening of Caesars Virginia later this year, it will bring with it an exciting culinary milestone for the state. The casino resort will boast Ramsay's Kitchen, marking the first time that world-renowned celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has licensed his name and likeness for a restaurant in Virginia.
While official details have not been confirmed, there are high expectations that Ramsay himself, a multiple-Michelin awardee and television personality, will be the guest of honor at the highly anticipated opening of the property.
According to a press release from Caesars Entertainment, Ramsay's Kitchen will embody a dining experience inspired by the chef's travels across the globe. This partnership continues Ramsay's long-standing relationship with Caesars, having already brought his signature culinary flair to several Caesars properties across the United States.
"Caesars Virginia sets the standard for approachable luxury, and I'm so proud to open my first restaurant here inside this beautiful resort," stated Ramsay. "My longstanding partnership with Caesars has proven to be a fan favorite time and time again. I'm beyond excited to continue that here in the Commonwealth of Virginia by sharing my take on global cuisine."
A new dining experience for Virginians
Ramsay's Kitchen will elevate the local dining scene with a menu featuring some of the chef's most famous dishes. Guests can expect to savor signature dishes like the iconic beef Wellington, pan-seared scallops, crispy skin salmon, and the delectable bone-in ribeye. This new restaurant aims to bring a level of world-class cuisine that is largely unmatched in the region.
Chris Albrecht, senior vice president and general manager of Caesars Virginia, stated his enthusiasm for the new culinary venture, stating, "Ramsay's Kitchen brings an elevated dining option not just to our resort, but it brings a world-class option that the region hasn't seen."
This new addition is likely to be a highlight for food lovers visiting Caesars Virginia and a major draw for the resort's other entertainment offerings. With the renowned chef's name attached, Ramsay's Kitchen is set to attract both local diners and tourists seeking a luxury dining experience.
Caesars Virginia: a new hub for entertainment and gaming
Caesars Virginia is a significant investment for Caesars Entertainment, which is pouring $250 million into the development. The resort is located north of the North Carolina boundary, and is in partnership with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Once complete, it promises to be a luxurious and dynamic destination for entertainment, gaming, and dining in the region.
The integrated resort will feature a sprawling 320-room hotel, a state-of-the-art casino floor equipped with more than 1,300 slot machines, 24 electronic table games, and 85 live dealer games. For poker enthusiasts, a dedicated World Series of Poker room will be available, alongside a Caesars Sportsbook for those looking to place bets on their favorite teams and events.
Caesars Virginia will also cater to a wide range of guests with a pool and full-service spa, and various dining and bar options. The resort will also house a 2,500-seat show venue, positioning itself as a top location for entertainment in the area.
For business and event planners, the property will offer more than 50,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, making it a prime destination for corporate events, conventions, and special gatherings.
Virginia: a growing hub for casino entertainment
The opening of Caesars Virginia signals a growing trend in the state's development as a hub for casino lovers and entertainment seekers. Ramsay's Kitchen, combined with the luxurious resort amenities and extensive gaming options, is expected to draw visitors from both within the state and neighboring regions.
Barron Fuller, president of regional operations at Caesars, referred to the development as the 'big bad boy' of casino resorts. As the first Caesars property in the state, the Danville location will set a new standard for luxury resorts in the region, offering an all-encompassing experience for guests seeking a blend of dining, gaming, and world-class entertainment.
