Caesars Entertainment is making bank with its celebrity partnerships, so the more the merrier.
Guy Fieri’s Chicken Guy concept is coming to Harrah’s Las Vegas in the spring of 2025.
The Caesars Palace location of Chicken Guy is excellent food court fare, so let’s go.
This will be the second Chicken Guy location in Vegas, but Fieri’s sixth Las Vegas restaurant with his name on it.
There’s Guy Fieri Sports Kitchen at Horseshoe, Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar at Linq and Chicken Guy at Caesars, Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar at Rio and Guy Fieri’s Tailgate at Allegiant Stadium.
That’s a lot of a guy who’s a lot.
As we’ve shared in the past, the celebrities don’t actually own these outlets. Caesars Entertainment operates them, and the licensing deal is typically for the celebrity to 5% of the restaurant’s gross revenue.
The celebrity is obligated to show up once a year for photo ops.
Here’s some news release stuff to help pad our word count to give the appearance we’re actually doing something for our obscenely generous salary, “The quick-service destination offers a convenient dining option that features all-natural, fresh chicken tenders brined in fresh lemon juice, pickle brine and buttermilk and infused with fresh herbs. To best enjoy the tenders, guests can choose from 22 signature sauces including Donkey Sauce, a mixture of mayonnaise, roasted garlic, mustard, Worcestershire and lemon, Wasabi Honey sauce with wasabi, honey and lime and Cumin Lime Mojo with cumin, lime, cilantro and roasted garlic.”
We find there’s a lot of cumin in Las Vegas. When you find a unisex restroom at your hotel, cumin. When you’re on the balcony at Cosmo, cumin. All over the cuck chair in your hotel room, cumin. Trip to the completely legal Sheri’s Ranch brothel, cumin. It’s everywhere.
Because you found that last blurb so fascinating, here’s more. “Fan-favorite menu items include the Loaded Mac Daddy Mac ‘N’ Cheese with super melty cheese, chopped crispy or grilled chicken, bacon and green onions. Guests can also sip on indulgent Flavortown Shakes such as Apple Cinnamon Cereal with vanilla soft serve, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Apple Jacks and fresh whipped cream or Triple Double Mint with mint chocolate soft serve, crushed Oreo cookies, chocolate mints, chocolate syrup and fresh whipped cream.”
We didn’t have all that during our visit to the Chicken Guy at Caesars Palace, but we did have a chicken sandwich, and it was shockingly satisfying.
Chicken Guy will be located in the Fulton Street Food Hall at Harrah’s Las Vegas. The food court doesn’t get a lot of love, probably because there’s a Bobby’s Burgers there, possibly the worst fast food in Las Vegas. Bobby’s Burgers is probably the biggest fail in the Caesars Entertainment roster of celebrity collaborations, but Guy Fieri is here to save the day.
At Harrah’s, we’d expect the same pricing as the Caesars Palace location.
In related news, a federal investigation should be initiated to determine the veracity of claims by Guy Fieri he is the “Mayor of Flavortown.” As far as we can tell, no town by this name exists within the contiguous United States, and as such, this claim appears to be bogus. What would the Mayor of Flavortown even do? When running for office, would they Kiss baby back ribs?
Can you imagine Guy Fieri running a council meeting or overseeing public works departments like police and fire?
Well, apparently, ChatGPT can imagine it.
That is pretty good.
We will very much miss our our obscenely generous salary at the hands of our robot overlords.
