One of the Las Vegas Strip’s most spectacular culinary experiences is back in business, and it might just be better than ever.
Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen immediately became one of the signature dining options at Caesars Palace when it debuted in 2017, taking the prominent Strip-side space adjacent to the resort’s iconic fountains and the Absinthe Spiegeltent. Once you scored a prestigious reservation you could enjoy views of Las Vegas Boulevard along with a menu of Ramsay’s greatest hits and an atmosphere that readily recalls the hit TV competition show of the same name.
Hell’s Kitchen was one of the first restaurants to reopen on the Strip, returning to form with a new, specially curated to-go menu for diners who would rather eat in their hotel rooms or in an outdoor environment. The butter-poached lobster tail over truffle risotto is the can’t-miss dish that might just be your best-ever Vegas picnic.
For those who are ready to dine in, Hell’s Kitchen offers that same electric environment with adjusted table configurations to allow social distancing and increased sanitization procedures, but the change to the overall experience is minimal and the service is just as stellar as you remember. Ramsay’s Vegas restaurants have always been at the top of the heap and his staff has doubled down on that commitment.
It’s time to indulge, and that means beginning with some of the freshest chilled seafood you’ll find in Vegas, oysters on the half shell and shrimp cocktail. If you watch the show, you’ve seen countless chefs pass or fail based on their version of those legendary pan-seared scallops. At Hell’s Kitchen the restaurant, they always pass with flying colors, served with celery root purée, braised bacon lardons and Granny Smith apple.
Heirloom tomato and burrata salad is a summer classic and the perfect gateway to Ramsay’s signature Beef Wellington, or perhaps an 8-ounce all-natural filet mignon or a prime, dry-aged New York strip. Add a side of smoked Gouda macaroni and cheese and you’ll learn that flavors have no boundaries when they’re coming from this kitchen.
