"Someone asked me is this a dream come true. I'm a big dreamer, always have been. But you never in a million years would have told me that I was going to have an opportunity to partner with Caesars and the legendary Horseshoe and be able to give you Flavortown, give you a sports book, and give you a great time all in one place," Fieri said. "The fact that Jason and his team had faith in me and my team at Knuckle Sandwich is overwhelming and it is the best partnership that we could have. We look forward to doing more. But right now, this is the greatest moment in the sun."
"The Horseshoe brand was built on legendary experiences and we couldn't be more excited to partner with Guy Fieri," said Horseshoe General Manager and Senior Vice President Jason Gregor. "This restaurant is amazing and our guests love Guy Fieri."
The restaurant is about 6,540 square feet and will seat up to 279 people between the bar, main dining area and rotunda. This is the chef's third Las Vegas restaurant with Caesars Entertainment. He also owns Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar at The LINQ and El Burro Borracho at the Rio.
It was a busy night for Fieri as he also stopped by the World Series of Poke Main Event to deliver this year's highly coveted gold bracelet.
"I heard this year's WSOP Main Event is shattering records so I had to come to check it out for myself," Fieri said. "The WSOP Main Event bracelet is out-of-bounds and whoever wins it will need some extra fuel to become poker's undisputed World Champion."
The Main Event Gold Bracelet is custom-made by Jostens and features approximately 500 grams of 10-carat yellow gold and 2,352 various precious gemstones including 42 carats of round genuine diamonds, 425 black and red stones to accentuate the card suits, and a removable gold poker chip that sits in the center of the bracelet.
Tournament officials said that as of Friday, more than 9,500 people have entered the main event.
