Chef driven. Chef inspired. Chef created. Redefining the Roman feast. September 2012.

Caesars Palace's new buffet will make its debut next month after closing for renovation back in January. And, while we can all breathe easy that we won't need to say, 'hey, let's eat at, erm, EAT' (at least on The Strip, anyway), Caesars has chosen to bring back a name that most will likely butcher or just skip entirely, reducing it to 'hey, wanna eat at Caesars' buffet?'

Bacchanal Buffet, who's tagline you can see at top and which is probably recognized by old school Vegas visitors as a reference to the iconic Bacchanal Room, will be run by chefs. (breathes another sigh of relief.) From a preview video released on YouTube yesterday (shown below), those chefs will be chopping, seasoning, and crafting all kinds of goody goodness for us to eat. In fact, more than 500 different dishes (500?!?) will be prepared for guests throughout the day:

Bacchanal Buffet will feature more than 500 items from classic favorites such as made-to-order omelets, the freshest seafood and roasted meats like prime rib to cutting edge, regional comfort food like breakfast pizzas, red velvet pancakes, wood fired Neapolitan pizzas and Chinese dim sum, even roasted South Carolina shrimp and grits.

Caesars touts the transformation of its buffet as coming with a $17 million dollar price tag. It'll cost you $19.99 for breakfast, $24.99 for lunch and $39.99 for a seafood dinner. If you choose to Buffet of Buffets it, expect to pay an additional $10 on top of the regular BoB charge of $44.99 for Total Rewards members or $49.99 for those who choose not to sign up for Caesars' player club card.

Bacchanal has an anticipated opening of September 10.

(And, for those who want to know how to actually pronounce bacchanal, it's bah-kuh-nahl -- meaning an occasion of drunken revelry; orgy. Oooh, it's that kind of party buffet!)
