“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.”

“We had a blast working at the Bacchanal Buffet,” Wall explains. “The space really lends itself to creativity – the different elements of wood, steel and glass all made for great backdrops and dance surfaces. When I was first approached to choreograph and perform a number in the middle of a Las Vegas buffet, I wasn’t sure what I would come up with, but I was completely inspired by the space, the design elements, and of course, the food. The hardest part was actually dancing around the abundance of food that all looked and smelled so delicious. But, it turns out it was pretty convenient too as we worked up an appetite.”
