Time to make the Cronuts.

Dominique Ansel, the James Beard Award-winning pastry chef and creator of the famed Cronut (the trademarked croissant-doughnut hybrid), is opening Dominique Ansel Las Vegas on Oct. 21 in Caesars Palace.

The first 100 customers will receive a gift celebrating the opening. Each month, the shop will debut a new Cronut flavor available only at Caesars.

Ansel is also bringing to the Strip signature items like DKA (Dominique’s Kouign-Amann, named for the flaky Breton cake), cookie shots featuring a warm chocolate chip cookie shaped like a shot glass, frozen s’mores, mini madeleines, and an egg sandwich fashioned from a brioche bun topped by fluffy steamed eggs, shallots, chives and a coverlet of melted Gruyère.
