Whenever a casino replaces anything with an Italian restaurant, an angel gets its wings.<\/p>\n

Planet Hollywood is getting just that, an Italian restaurant and \u201cswanky lounge\u201d called Caramella, moving into the shuttered Koi Restaurant and Lounge on the Mezzanine level of the resort, next to the Criss Angel Theater.<\/p>\n

If you are reading this, Criss Angel, we are happy to have dinner again. This time, our treat. Long, awkward story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Subject to change, unlike the TITO voucher kiosks at most Las Vegas casinos. Don\u2019t get us started.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Underreported was a juicy nugget buried in the Caramella announcement: Caesars Palace is opening Omnia Dayclub in 2025. Zero details, but still, that\u2019s one to watch and a peculiar way to let people know about it. We\u2019re pretty sure Omnia Dayclub will feature attractive women doing bottle presentations for about the same cost as Banksy\u2019s \u201cLove is in the Bin\u201d (\u201cGirl with Balloon\u201d before it was partially shredded<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Caramella is scheduled to open this winter. You can tell when it\u2019s winter in Las Vegas because even Canadians and Minnesotans won\u2019t use the pools.<\/p>\n

The new concept comes from Tao Group Hospitality, the folks behind Tao. This isn\u2019t rocket science.<\/p>\n

The Tao Group also boasts Hakkasan, Omnia and Marquee. Yes, it\u2019s weird that the same company operates competing nightlife venues.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, Tao Group Hospitality acquired Hakkasan Group in 2021. Yes, we broke the story<\/a> months before it was officially announced. Don\u2019t make us blush by always bringing up how awesome we are, thanks.<\/p>\n

Tao sort of has the restaurant thing down, with popular brands like Lavo Italian Restaurant, Beauty & Essex, Cathedrale, Luchini and Stanton Social Prime. We\u2019d tell you where all these restaurants are, but it\u2019s more fun to think of this as a Google scavenger hunt.<\/p>\n

We really need to get to Luchini at MGM Grand. There, we gave you one.<\/p>\n

Details are scant about Caramella, but the Las Vegas Review-Journal got its hands on some renderings submitted to the Clark County Building Department back in May 2024. The placeholder name for the venue was Macelleria Disco (we updated it in the rendering above using our def Photoshop skilz, assuming people still spell \u201cskills\u201d with a \u201cz\u201d).<\/p>\n

The Review-Journal said the renderings submitted for Caramella may not be final, so we are once again forced to have A.I. give it a try.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Our personal preference is warm, welcoming and quiet over swanky, but to each their own.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cCaramella\u201d means \u201ccandy\u201d in Italian. Yes, we speak 243 languages fluently. Is there anything Google can\u2019t do?<\/p>\n

Why \u201ccandy\u201d as a name? Well, similar to Beauty & Essex at Cosmopolitan having a working pawn shop, Caramella will have a candy shop.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s more: \u201cWith decor and design inspired by 1970s Italy, Caramella will feature stunning views overlooking the Las Vegas Strip and an adjacent candy shop offering a wide selection of sweet treats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crap. We probably should\u2019ve mention to A.I. the whole \u201c1970s Italy\u201d thing.<\/p>\n

What the hell, let\u2019s see if A.I. can help come up with a \u201csneak preview\u201d of the menu, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"
This is not the real menu, but we wouldn\u2019t be mad if it was.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our fellow youths sometimes ask, \u201cHow can I, too, be a wildly popular blog and make ungodly amounts of money goofing off in Las Vegas?\u201d Our answer is: 1) spend a decade growing an audience, 2) built a network of sources who tell you things first, and 3) spend six hours mocking up a fake restaurant menu for no real reason just because you enjoy A.I. and it\u2019s more fun than talking about layoffs at Fontainebleau or how much paper straws suck.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, Italian is our culinary sweet spot (pun intended), so we\u2019re looking forward to seeing what\u2019s in store at Caramella at Planet Hollywood this winter.<\/p>\n

Please note: A.I. suggested sea bass (\u201cBranzino al Sale\u201d), but we swapped it out with chicken parm. Some things are non-negotiable.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
