Before you stuff your pockets with cash at the casino on Thanksgiving Day, you’ll probably want to stuff your belly full of food.
Well, as luck would have it, you can kill two birds (no pun intended) with one stone, and have Thanksgiving Dinner at the gaming hall.
You can check your local casinos to see which ones may be offering a holiday dinner special, but here are a few that we found that will be sure to get the tryptophan flowing.
Caesars Palace – Las Vegas
It hasn’t reached Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade popularity (yet), but this might be one of the best known Thanksgiving Day casino dinners.
Caesars Palace in Las Vegas hosts its annual Thanksgiving dinner at the Bacchanal Buffet.
Originally introduced in 1966 as the Bacchanal Room, guests enjoyed a three-hour, seven-course meal with wine service, shoulder massages, and grapes fed by toga-clad waitresses.
This post on the Bacchanal Room’s X account can attest to that.

Today, the Bacchanal Buffet covers 25,000 square feet, with chefs offering around 250 individually sized dishes from 10 interconnected kitchens.
On special occasions like Thanksgiving, the buffet features holiday pricing, additional menu items, and a dining time limit of 90 minutes. It’s a good idea to call ahead and secure a reservation.
