The changes replaced existing food counters, service equipment, and the ceiling and floor finishes. Bacchanal remodeled a section of the food line, focusing on a 2,120-square-foot area of the buffet. Clark County allowed self-serve buffets to reopen on May 1, with restaurants permitted to offer 80 percent capacity and three feet of social distancing.
The buffet, the largest in Las Vegas, underwent a $2.4 million makeover after it closed last year in March when the state ordered nonessential businesses to shutter to slow the spread of COVID-19. The 25,000-square-foot, 600-seat Bacchanal Buffet reopened with throngs of crowds waiting to explore the nine open, interactive kitchens, with many dishes already individually prepared, shared, or plated in real-time by staff from behind the counters. If ever there was a doubt that Bacchanal Buffet would return, Caesars Palace pulled out every trick to bring the largest buffet in Las Vegas back, and better than ever.
