Gordon Ramsey coming to Danville casino

DANVILLE, Va. – Foodies, get ready to turn up the heat! Chef Gordon Ramsay is coming to Caesars Virginia in Danville, the first of his restaurants to open in the Commonwealth.

“At Ramsay’s Kitchen, you will be able to experience delectable dishes inspired by his culinary journey around the world!” Caesars Virginia said in a Facebook post.

Ramsay himself took to Facebook to share his excitement about the announcement.

“I am so thrilled to give the amazing people of the Commonwealth an unforgettable experience with my beautiful space as well as my signature dishes: that delicious Beef Wellington, of course, that amazing dessert, Sticky Toffee Pudding,” he said. “Honestly, I can’t wait for all of you to experience it very soon, and thank you so much for all the support.”

Lisa Meriwether is the Tourism Manager for the City of Danville, and she is glowing after Caesars Virginia’s latest announcement.

“We’re excited to be able to have such a celebrity-inspired restaurant here in Caesars Virginia, and that’s going to be coming on board in December when they open,” Meriwether said. “Stay tuned. Make your reservations early.”

It’s not just Ramsay’s news that is exciting Danville residents. According to the Virginia Tourism Corporation’s latest report, the economic impact of short-term visitation increased by almost 50% year over year. Between Danville and Pittsylvania County they’ve added over $215 million to the local economy and supported over 2,000 jobs.

“When you take those recreation numbers for Danville Casino out of the growth that we’ve been experiencing this last year, we’re still up,” Meriwether said. “That is the great thing that we want to share with everybody.”

We're very excited to announce that multi-Michelin-starred Chef Gordon Ramsay will be opening his first restaurant in Virginia at #CaesarsVirginia! At Ramsay's Kitchen, you will be able to experience delectable dishes inspired by his culinary journey around the world! Gambling Problem? Call, text, or chat 1-800-Gambler.
