Dominique Ansel Las Vegas officially opened its doors on
Friday, Oct. 21, to excited guests,
including the first four customers who drove to Las Vegas overnight from Southern California and lined up at 6
a.m. The first 100 people received a special gift to celebrate
the occasion. Chef Dominique Ansel
and Caesars Entertainment executives were joined by a traditional
Caesars Palace Royal Court procession to unveil the bakery. The
group ceremonially toasted with Chef's signature Cookie Shots to
commemorate the opening.
"Chef Dominique Ansel is one of
the most esteemed pastry chefs in the world," said Caesars
Entertainment Regional President Sean
McBurney. "The opening of his bakery has been a long time
coming. His creations are the perfect addition to our extraordinary
culinary offerings at Caesars Palace."
Chef Dominique Ansel has created
signature pastries exclusively for Caesars Palace, including a
Cronut® flavor that changes each month and never
repeats. The first featured Cronut® flavor is Lucky
Cherry Chambord and Caramelia. Available through Nov. 30, the pastry is filled with cherry
Chambord jam and Valrhona Caramelia (caramelized milk chocolate)
ganache.
"I'm so thrilled to finally bring Dominique Ansel Las Vegas to
life and have a home here at Caesars Palace," said Chef
Dominique Ansel. "We've been so
honored and humbled to welcome guests from all around the world.
For each of our shops, we strive to make each menu unique, and we
hope our 'Lucky 7' pastry collection will bring some good fortune
to everyone here. I can't wait to share what we have planned for
our future menu creations."
Exclusively available at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas, the "Lucky
7" collection symbolizes good fortune and includes:
- Lucky Penny Pig – Milk chocolate crémeux, homemade
raspberry jam and salted peanut feuilletine are sandwiched between
vanilla sablé cookies to create a pig, which is topped with a lucky
gilded chocolate penny.
- Ladybug – Elderflower mascarpone mousse, fresh
strawberry compote, strawberry gelée, fluffy chiffon cake and a
lychee meringue make up a mini garden watering can, which is
finished with a tiny chocolate ladybug.
- Goldfish – Tropical flavors of calamansi coconut
mousse, fresh diced mango, mango passionfruit gelée and coconut
dacquoise make up a goldfish, complete with hand-painted white
chocolate fins.
- Four-Leaf Clover – Coffee mousse topped with
hazelnut dacquoise, dark chocolate crémeux and crispy feuilletine
create a four-leaf clover.
- Fortune Cookie – A sablé Breton base is topped with
jasmine tea crémeux and lemon curd. A white chocolate "fortune"
sticks out of the cookie, wishing luck in Las Vegas.
- Feather – A vanilla sablé cookie is topped with
chestnut mousse, banana jam, orange marmalade and banana cake and
is garnished with a white chocolate feather.
- Evil Eye Éclair – A classic French éclair is filled
with cassis jam and Valrhona Caramelia whipped ganache.
Guests can also enjoy several of Chef Dominique's signature
creations, from the best-selling DKA (Dominique's Kouign Amann) to
Cookie Shots, Frozen S'mores and baked-to-order Mini Madeleines. In
addition, a selection of classic French croissants and viennoiserie
will be baked fresh daily, made with Beurre d'Isigny butter and Les
Grands Moulins des Paris flour
imported from France.
