Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino and Tao Group Hospitality Will Open New Dining Concept, Caramella, This Winter

LAS VEGAS (Sept. 23, 2024) – Caesars Entertainment and Tao Group Hospitality will introduce Caramella, an Italian restaurant and swanky lounge, at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino this winter.

Highlights of the menu created by Tao Group Hospitality’s Chief Culinary Officer, Ralph Scamardella, will include original takes on regional Italian favorites, indulgent pastas and a wide selection of prime steaks and chops served Tuscan-style with decadent sides à la carte.

With décor and design inspired by 1970s Italy, Caramella will feature stunning views overlooking the Las Vegas Strip and an adjacent candy shop offering a wide selection of sweet treats. Caramella will be on the Mezzanine level of Planet Hollywood next to the Criss Angel Theater in the space formerly occupied by Koi Restaurant and Lounge.

Caramella is an expansion of Tao Group Hospitality’s partnership with Caesars Entertainment, which includes OMNIA Nightclub, Stanton Social Prime and OMNIA Dayclub (opening 2025) at Caesars Palace.
