Harrah’s Resort Southern California announces a partnership with multi-Michelin-starred chef and television personality Gordon Ramsay to launch a brand-new Hell’s Kitchen restaurant, set to debut in spring 2022.

The opening of this Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen will mark the first for Southern California, the fourth worldwide, and the largest to date with 332 seats for guests. Hell’s Kitchen will occupy the space formerly occupied by the casino buffet, which closed permanently at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020.

The restaurant design and menu elements will be executed by the long-running Fox culinary competition series of the same name. The restaurant space will feature three areas, including an elevated bar, full-service restaurant, and lounge.

“Hell’s Kitchen at Harrah’s Resort SoCal will bring an unmatched ‘Funner’ experience to our guests, families, and friends, beginning early 2022,” said Chairman Bo Mazzetti of the Rincon Tribe.

Currently, Hell’s Kitchen operates at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Caesars Bluewaters Dubai, and Harvey’s Lake Tahoe. Construction on Hell’s Kitchen at Harrah’s Southern California will begin this summer.

“Chef Gordon Ramsay’s contagious energy and talent create a thrilling dining experience that perfectly complements what a ‘Funner’ experience is all about,” said Robert Livingston, senior vice president and general manager.

The new restaurant is a partnership between Gordon Ramsay and Caesars Entertainment, Inc. in conjunction with ITV America. “Hell’s Kitchen” airs in 41 countries around the globe and in the U.S. on Fox, and is produced by ITV Entertainment in association with A. Smith & Co. Productions. Arthur Smith, Kent Weed, Kenny Rosen, Bernie Schaeffer and Gordon Ramsay serve as executive producers.
