Thanksgiving in Las Vegas is not a day. It is a deadline calendar.
Caesars Entertainment dropped its fall lineup on Nov. 2, and the food math is already ticking. Thanksgiving lands Thursday, Nov. 26, and the Strip options run from $59.99 to $159.99 a person. Miss the pre-order windows and the best plays are gone.
One Day Only: The Prix Fixe Lineup
The headline plate is at Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris Las Vegas. A three-course Thanksgiving Tasting Menu, built around a Turkey Wellington, ends with Sticky Toffee Pudding. It runs Nov. 26 only, 4 to 10:30 p.m., at $159.99 per person.
Five more rooms serve prix fixe menus that same day:
- Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar, The LINQ: $59.99 per person, with a Smoked Turkey Leg on the menu, 4 to 10 p.m.
- Ruth's Chris Steak House, Harrah's: $89.95 per person, 4 to 10 p.m.
- Ramsay's Kitchen, Harrah's: $89.95 per person, 4 to 10 p.m.
- Bugsy & Meyer's Steakhouse, Flamingo: $89.95 per person, 4 to 10 p.m.
- GIADA, The Vanderpump Hotel: $129 per person, 4:30 to 10 p.m.
Same holiday, same company, and a $100 spread between the cheapest seat and the top of the board. Pick your number and book it now, because every one of these menus exists for exactly one night.
The Take-Home Play Has the Hardest Deadlines
The smartest move in the whole release is at The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Paris Las Vegas. The dine-in Thanksgiving Prix Fixe runs Tuesday, Nov. 24 through Sunday, Nov. 29, 4 to 10 p.m., at $124.99 per person: Butternut Squash Soup, Big Martha's Pierogis, a choice of Roasted Turkey or Prime Rib, and Pumpkin Pie.
The to-go version starts at $129.99, and it is strict. Pre-orders close Tuesday, Nov. 24. Pickup happens Thursday, Nov. 26 only. No extensions, no second window.
Pie works the same way. Dominique Ansel at Caesars Palace and Dominique Ansel Marché at Paris Las Vegas sell whole pies at $70.99 and slices at $12.99: Bourbon Pecan, Extra Silky Pumpkin, and Salted Caramel Apple. Slices are in stores now through Nov. 26, whole pies hit stores Saturday, Nov. 14, and whole-pie pre-orders run through Nov. 26 for pickup Nov. 24 to 26.
The Angles Most People Will Miss
Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace starts a day early. Citrus Brined Turkey, Candied Yams with Brûléed Marshmallows, Boursin Mashed Potatoes, and Giblet Gravy run Wednesday, Nov. 25 from 2:30 to 9 p.m. at $94.99 per adult, then Nov. 26 and 27 from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. at $99.99 per adult.
Dessert has its own stunt. Salt & Straw at Flamingo and Paris turned the whole dinner into five ice cream flavors, including Turkey and Bacon Caramel and Parker House Rolls with Salted Buttercream, available through Friday, Nov. 27.
Two discounts hide at the bottom of the release. Nevada residents park free at all eight Caesars Las Vegas resorts through Dec. 26 by scanning a Nevada ID, and Caesars Rewards members who live in Nevada get 25% off eligible dining and drinks. At Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar, the Guy's Salute to Service deal gives military members and first responders 25% off meals, a free domestic draft beer for active-duty members and veterans, and a $25 All American Bacon Burger with fries, with a portion of proceeds going to the Guy Fieri Foundation.
- By Tuesday, Nov. 24: Bedford to-go pre-orders close. Order before this date or cook it yourself.
- By Thursday, Nov. 26: whole-pie pre-orders at both Dominique Ansel shops close, with pickup Nov. 24 to 26.
- On Thursday, Nov. 26: every prix fixe menu on this list serves its one and only night. Reservations are the whole game.
Nineteen days out, the tables are still there. The deadlines do not care. Book first, brine never.
