James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Dominique Ansel, perhaps best known as the originator of the croissant-doughnut hybrid treat the Cronut, is set to open a bakery at Caesars Palace in the summer of 2022. Caesars Entertainment Regional President Sean McBurney said the company has been courting Ansel for years and is “delighted that the time is right to create something true to Dominique’s incredible vision.”
The shop will be located in a soon-to-be-constructed space next to Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill and will feature many of Ansel’s signature items including the Cronut, the “DKA” Kouign Amann, the Cookie Shot and Frozen S’mores.
