Caesars Palace is celebrating its 60th anniversary by introducing a selection of nostalgic dishes in its renowned restaurants. From now until December 31, the resort is unveiling limited-time menus that pay homage to the vibe of its 1966 opening — featuring vintage steakhouse dishes, French delicacies, Italian-American favorites, and buffet classics.
Bacchanal Buffet is unveiling a special anniversary station that includes Oysters Rockefeller, Duck à l’Orange, prime rib, Cornish game hen, Chicken Marsala, and Roman-style porchetta. Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen presents a $115 three-course “Senate Supper,” while Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill offers a $90 “Showgirls & Smoke” menu.
Nobu is featuring a $266 anniversary menu that revisits 1960s teppanyaki through the visionary approach of Nobu Matsuhisa with a Japanese-Peruvian twist. Meanwhile, Restaurant Guy Savoy will serve up French classics starting July 28, and Peter Luger Steak House has select dishes priced at $66.26 to commemorate both 1966 and 2026.
A Slice of Suncoast
Suncoast has launched a new food court named Quick Bites, featuring two prominent fast-food chains:
1) Steak N’ Shake: Renowned for its steakburgers and hand-dipped milkshakes, this well-established American chain started in 1934 in Normal, Ill.
2) Huey Magoo’s: Known for its chicken tenders and sandwiches, this popular American chain was founded in 2004 in Orlando, Fla., boasting 70 locations across the country.
The new food court is part of the ongoing three-year renovation of the 26-year-old Boyd Gaming property, taking over the previous buffet area that closed due to pandemic-related shutdowns and never reopened. Both kiosks are operated by Boyd’s food and beverage team under licensing agreements.
Could Beards Call Vegas Home?
The James Beard Foundation is on the lookout for a new host city for its prestigious annual awards, informally dubbed the “Oscars of the food world,” and Las Vegas is looking to raise its hand. The foundation has initiated a formal request-for-information process for U.S. cities interested in hosting the ceremonies from 2029 to 2033. The LVCVA mentioned to the Las Vegas Review-Journal that they are reviewing submissions but have yet to commit to a bid.
Since their inception in 1991, the awards have only been held in two cities: New York until 2014 and Chicago from 2015 onward. Nevertheless, the foundation’s relationship with Las Vegas has strengthened in recent years, highlighted by collaborative dinners, festival engagements, and a record 14 semifinalist selections in 2026 — crowned by Casa Playa chef Sarah Thompson clinching Best Chef: Southwest, marking the city’s first outright win since 2010.
Cities must submit their RFI responses by August 7 and pledge at least $4 million in the first year. Final proposals will follow, and the chosen host city is expected to be announced in early 2027.
Dining Highlights & Updates
Shay’s Steaks, a Philadelphia sandwich shop celebrated for its gourmet take on cheesesteaks, has opened its inaugural location outside its home city at the Town Square shopping center, just south of the Las Vegas Strip. Established in 2024, it quickly rose to No. 3 on Yelp’s top steakhouses list that year, earning praise for its use of prime rib, New York strip, and other high-quality cuts shaved to order. Plans for a second Vegas location downtown are already in the works.
