Last night the big-hitting trio of Meraas, Caesars Bluewaters Dubai, and multi-Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay put on a spectacular show for the exclusive launch of Caesars Bluewaters Dubai for VIP guests as well as local and international media.
Introducing the first non-gaming resort from the legendary Caesars Entertainment brand, the evening also marked the sizzling debut of the second global outpost of Gordon Ramsay HELL’S KITCHEN. The successful, glitzy grand launch was hosted by the multi-Michelin-starred chef and members of Las Vegas’ Caesars Entertainment team including Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Chris Holdren and concluded with an incandescent firework display.
Chris Holdren commented, “It is with great honour that Caesars celebrates the Grand Opening of Caesars Bluewaters Dubai with our partners at Meraas and our global dining partner, Chef Gordon Ramsay.
“This fantastic resort complex perfectly represents Caesars’ legacy of excellence in hospitality and entertainment, personified by Chef Ramsay, combined with Meraas’ vision for a luxury resort anchoring Bluewaters, which will undoubtedly become yet another iconic Dubai landmark,” he added.
Located on Bluewaters, Meraas’ sophisticated modern, family-oriented island destination, Caesars Bluewaters Dubai will be surrounded by nearly 150 retail, dining and entertainment outlets. And standing at over 250 meters on the edge of the island is the world’s largest observation wheel, Ain Dubai, which serves as a spectacular focal point and can be seen from both hotels and the residences. Bluewaters is easily located from the mainland with a new pedestrian bridge spreading out over the crystal waters of the Arabian Gulf leading directly from The Beach to the island.
The night got into full-swing with a ‘Caesars and Cleo’ procession welcoming guests to the grand launch event, followed by a red carpet buzzing with Dubai’s movers and shakers. Fire dancers and acrobats dazzled the attendees in true Caesars fashion, while performers from award-winning entertainment sensation “WOW” delighted onlookers with acrobatic feats from the show currently running at Caesars Bluewaters Dubai’s entertainment destination, The Rotunda.
Later in the evening, Middle East radio personality Kris Fade welcomed Gordon Ramsay to the stage to officially open the doors of Gordon Ramsay HELL’S KITCHEN with the HK logo glowing in theatrical flames. Guests were introduced to Caesars Bluewaters Dubai, which offers luxury accommodation and a truly immersive hospitality experience across three distinct offerings: Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai, Caesars Resort Bluewaters Dubai and The Residences at Caesars Bluewaters Dubai. In a spectacular finale, sparkling fireworks lit the evening skies and illuminated Bluewaters by Meraas, Dubai’s most refined island destination, as guests danced the evening away to the tunes of celebrity DJ Danny Neville at the energy-filled after-party.
Bringing the world-famous ‘Caesars’ ambiance across two unique resort offerings, Caesars Bluewaters Dubai introduces Dubai to a fun-fused approach to luxury. Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai is a 194-guest room resort, featuring a stylish beach club, Cove Beach and world-class restaurants including Pan-Asian Zhen Wei, The Piazza serving bespoke afternoon tea with home-baked scones, the finest poolside light bites at Neptune as well as the second ever Gordon Ramsay HELL’S KITCHEN, a joint venture between Gordon Ramsay and Caesars Entertainment in conjunction with ITV America.
Caesars Resort Bluewaters Dubai, the 301-guest room resort offers two outdoor pools, including family-friendly Fortuna and adults-only pool Venus – as well as access to a pristine private beach and versatile event spaces for up to 800 guests. Bringing loved ones together over decadent meals, the resort boasts seven restaurants and bars including Bacchanal – the sister restaurant to its original stateside outpost, named the best buffet restaurant in Las Vegas twice by USA Today. The resort’s piece de resistance when it comes to dining is rooftop modern Japanese restaurant Paru – the perfect spot to watch the sun set across the Arabian Gulf. There’s also French Riviera-inspired The Sandbar and a fusion of Mediterranean and Arabic flavours at Cleo’s Table.
Following in the legendary 50-year footsteps of its famous Las Vegas resort when it comes to epic entertainment, The Rotunda is a dedicated entertainment destination showcasing an electrifying roster of high-flying headliners, trendsetting theatre acts, mind-blowing magicians and hilarious comedians. A handy feature for parents and kids alike is the Empire Club – a kids club available to all junior guests – and joining soon Roam, a teen’s club for young adults. At Qua Spa, an elevated spa experience lifts guests above the realm of modern-day stresses and transports them to a one-stop destination for wellbeing and beauty. Another shared resort experience is Caesars FORUM – comprising a state-of-the-art conference centre, three meeting rooms and the 750sqm Forum Ballroom.
For contemporary luxury living combined with high-end hospitality, The Residences at Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai offer 80 one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments for short and long-term lease, with the advantage of having two iconic resorts at its doorstep. Conveniently located adjacent to Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai, residents have access to all of Caesars Bluewaters Dubai’s dining, leisure and entertainment experiences – giving the term ‘living like a Caesar’ a whole new meaning.
